Marinated Portabella Mushrooms Pizzas Food

SAVANNAH'S BEST MARINATED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a baking dish, mix the wine, olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Place mushroom caps upside down in the marinade, and marinate 15 minutes.
• Cover dish, and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake 25 minutes. Turn mushrooms and continue baking 8 minutes.

BALSAMIC-MARINATED PORTOBELLO PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Add portobello mushrooms (stem side up) to a shallow dish or large freezer bag. Add the balsamic vinegar, oil, salt and pepper (or red pepper flake). Use a pastry brush to brush on all sides (or shake bag to coat). Marinate on one side for 5 minutes, then the other side for 5 minutes.
• In the meantime, add vegetables and garlic to baking sheet, toss with oil, salt and pepper, and fresh herbs (optional) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant, tossing once near the halfway point to ensure even baking. Set aside but keep oven at 400 F (204 C).
• If serving with balsamic reduction (see notes) and/or soft nut cheese (see links above), prepare at this time.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat (you could also use a grill for this step). Add mushrooms to the pan, leaving any leftover oil-and-vinegar marinade behind. Cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until caramelized and softened. If your mushrooms are extra thick, covering with a lid can be helpful to encourage even cooking all the way through. Brush on any remaining marinade while cooking to infuse more flavor.
• Once mushrooms and vegetables are cooked, assemble pizzas. Place mushrooms on a parchment-lined baking sheet or baking pan and add toppings, starting with pizza sauce, then roasted veggies, roasted garlic, and soft vegan cheese. You can also add vegan parmesan cheese or red pepper flake at this point (optional).
• Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until hot. The soft vegan cheese will be slightly golden brown on top. Remove from oven and enjoy as is, or garnish with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, balsamic drizzle, red pepper flake, and extra vegan parmesan (all optional).
• Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a 350 degree F (176 C) oven until hot.

MARINATED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Brush the mushrooms carefully with a paper towel to get rid of the excess dirt. Using a spoon, carefully scrape out the gills from the underside of the portobello cap.
• Slice the mushroom in half along the perimeter (like you are butterflying it) so you have 2 thin rounds and place them in a large bowl.
• In a saute pan add the oil and place over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the garlic and the shallot and cook for no more than 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, honey, salt, and pepper and whisk vigorously.
• Pour the mixture over the mushrooms and with your hands toss gently to coat, making sure there is even coverage.
• Let the mushrooms stand at room temperature for at least 45 minutes.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Clean mushrooms and remove stems, reserve for other use. Place caps on a plate with the gills up.
• In a small bowl, combine the oil, onion, garlic and vinegar. Pour mixture evenly over the mushroom caps and let stand for 1 hour.
• Grill over hot grill for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Marinate mushrooms at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning once. Pat mushrooms dry and place gill side up in grill pan. Grill slowly for about 20 minutes, then turn and grill for about 5 to 10 minutes more. Slice and serve with polenta. Garnish with chopped parsley.
