creekland Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I bought two portobella mushrooms with plans to use them for sandwiches tomorrow at lunch. Does anyone have a recipe they like? I'm thinking of grilling them with butter, but what else to add, if anything, for spices? Onions? Garlic? Cheese? (Note: I don't consider butter or cheese evil.)

Mejane Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You can marinate them in something like Italian dressing. I just brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to make this this week. This recipe sounds really tasty, but I don't have all the ingredients for the sauce. I'm thinking with these I might go the olive oil/salt/onions and cheese route and see what we think. Next time, however... ;) Should I grill the whole sandwich similar to a grilled cheese (after cooking the mushrooms separately? I'm thinking it sounds tasty done that way, but I don't know if I'm missing something that would make it not work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 My favorite way to eat them is to brush the caps with olive oil, grill or fry them whole for a few minutes on each side until they are tender. Take them out of the pan and grill/fry sliced red and green bell peppers, sliced onions and a minced garlic clove or two (with two mushrooms, I would say 1/2 of each pepper to total 1 whole one and 1 medium size onion). When the peppers/onions are almost done (you may want to add a little water to the pan to soften them even more), add salt, pepper, a nice size sprinkle of oregano. Slice the mushrooms and add them back to the pan, remove from the heat and stir in a little balsamic vinegar. I like this piled between sliced ciabatta bread or in a sub bun, topped with shredded smoked provolone and then broiled until the cheese melts. Yum! They are also great grilled/fried whole (brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with something like McCormicks Montreal Seasoning or just salt and pepper) and served on a toasted burger bun with roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomato, and a mixture of mayo, horseradish and dijon mustard for the sauce.

whitestavern Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Our fav grilled portabella mushroom sandwich recipe is to take a loaf of crusty bread, cut open and spread with pesto, then add sliced grilled portabellas, arugula, sliced mozz (fresh or not) and roasted red peppers.

Moira in MA Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I suggest my dd's panini invention: Happy Hobbits Cut the mushroom top into 1/3-1/2 inch slices at a diagonal. Brush with olive oil, salt and black pepper. Grill both sides on the panini maker. Spread Dijon Mustard on both slices of your chosen bread (we use sourdough), arrange mushroom slices, top with thinly sliced Gruyere cheese. Grill in the panini. Always receives raves in this house. hth ~Moira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Portos love to be grilled with some olive oil, and then put hot in some limejuice with minced shallots, some thyme, and some more olive oil to marinate. WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Country Girl Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 My favorite it to make a tomato, basil (fresh), mozzarella (fresh), and portabella mushroom panini sandiwich...... yummy! I thinly slice the mushrooms but don't pre-cook them. I just pile everything on some good bread (my favorite is the Asiago Cheese bread from Panera), brush both sides of the bread with olive oil, and then either grill (if the weather is nice) or cook on an electric skillet. Sometimes we will also add a bit of thinly sliced capicolla or other similar cured italian meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
