How to clean the Portobello

To clean your Portobello Mushrooms, first take a little brush and make it a little wet. Secondly, brush off any dirt from the top of the Portobello mushrooms. Now cut off the stem with a knife, don’t pull on them you might break your mushroom cap! When your mushrooms are clean, it’s time to remove the part that makes a big difference into the taste of your mushrooms, the under gills! For this procedure take a small spoon and gently scrap off the black gills from under the cap. Remove these black gills from under it, otherwise you will end up with a muddy taste, really not pleasant.

How to marinate the mushrooms

Mix the oil, the dijon mustard, the crushed garlic, the salt, the ground pepper in a small bowl. Now place the mushrooms into a deep plate, and coat carefully the mushrooms with the marinate. Let them marinate for 30 minutes. This will give a deeper flavour to your Portobello.

How to cook the Portobellos

On a hot skillet put butter at the bottom, place the mushrooms and cook them on each side for about 3 minutes or until browned. When they are well coloured keep them a side. In the same skillet cooked the onions until nicely coloured. Now take a baking dish, place the Portobello in it, cover the mushrooms with cooked onions and cover it all with the shredded cheese. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 400 degrees.

What to serve with Portobello Mushrooms

You can serve them with a simple egg pasta and a green salad. On simpler than that with a great piece of sourdough bread!
