Pan-Seared Portobello Mushrooms

Play Video

Portobellos are meaty and delicious. They lend themselves well to grilling and can be served on a bed of grains, with mashed potatoes, or on whole-grain buns with all the trimmings. Portobello mushrooms are a great source of folate, selenium, and zinc.

Ingredients

4 large portobello mushrooms

2 T red wine or water

2 T reduced sodium soy sauce or wheat-free tamari

1 T balsamic vinegar

2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed

1/2 tsp dried oregano

Preparation

Clean the mushrooms and trim the stems so they are flush with bottom of the caps.

Combine the wine, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and oregano in a large skillet. Heat until the mixture begins to bubble. Add the mushrooms, top side down. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. If the pan becomes dry, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Turn the mushrooms over and cook for about 5 minutes longer, until they are tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Serve hot.

Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Pan-Seared Portobello Mushrooms will keep for up to 3 days.
