Portobello mushrooms are large, meaty mushrooms that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Often adding that umami flavor without the use of animal products, they are particularly useful if you’re a vegan or vegetarian cook. Here are some tasty ways to cook Portobello mushrooms that will give you pleasure time and again.
Baked
For best results, pop the mushrooms onto a greased baking tray, season with salt and pepper, and then drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the oven for around twenty minutes, or until mushrooms become soft. Serve on a bed of rocket lettuce with cheese and tomatoes.
Grilled Burger
Portobello mushrooms can be a great substitute for meat burgers. Before popping them on the grill, add some olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then grill for 7-10 minutes. While they’re cooking, toast the burger buns so they’re nice and crunchy. A great combination is Portobello mushroom with halloumi cheese, lettuce, red onion, tomato, and sweet chili sauce.
Stuffed
With stuffed mushroom recipes you can get really creative. Follow the recipe above for baked mushrooms, but add other ingredients before cooking. Classic taste combinations include sweet peppers, breaded garlic mushrooms, cheese, and bacon.
