Marinate the caps. If the caps are skinny, they will cook by just grilling. If they are thick, you can sear on the grill and finish cooking in the oven.

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with Garlic Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 large Portobello mushrooms or 3 medium, cleaned with a damp cloth
Marinade:
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce or use soy sauce (tamari to make glutenfree)
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp white wine or use a tsp white wine vinegar or omit
- a generous dash of salt and pepper
Creamy Smoky Garlic Sauce:
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 5 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/4 cup (32.25 g) raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 15 minutes if needed)
- 1 tbsp arrowroot starch or use flour
- 1.5 cups (375 ml) water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast optional, if you like the gravy cheesier, use more
- 1 to 2 tbsp white wine
- 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) or more salt
- chopped fresh basil and black pepper to taste for garnish
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix all the ingredients under marinade. Place the portobello mushrooms in the dish and brush the marinade all over, Let it marinade for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Heat a grill or a heavy bottom pan over medium heat. Spray or brush oil on the pan. When hot, place the mushrooms on the pan, partially cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. If the the mushrooms are thin, they will cook through in the time. If they are thick, transfer to the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until a knife goes through easily. To Bake the marinated mushrooms without grill step, bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the shallow dish.
- Make the sauce: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and pinch of salt and cook until translucent.
- Transfer half of the mixture to a blender. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Blend a couple of times of 1 minute cycles so the cashews blend in.
- Pour the blended mixture into the skillet with the remaining onion garlic and cook over medium heat until thickened. Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Add a dash of thyme and a tsp of vegan worcestershire or soy sauce for additional flavor if needed.
- Serve the mushrooms drizzled generously with the creamy sauce, fresh basil (adds great flavor) and black pepper.

Loved it, left out the white vinegar just because I didn’t have it in hand. Next time I’ll follow it step by step. It was delicioso!

I doubled the marinade to use more mushrooms but had plenty of sauce. This was yummy, quick, and healthy. I would make it again!
Vegan Richa Support
yay!
Jo
Yes, I have made this, but without oil. It works just as good with a little veggie broth.
Thank you for your recipes. I enjoy new things. Have both your cook books.

I’m so glad you enjoyed!

I just made this for dinner. I omitted the oil and the salt. I had no idea what to expect. I doubled the marinade because I was using a 24 ounce package of baby bellas. I didn’t double the dressing since a lot of revies said there was extra. I had the perfect amount of both. I did bake the mushrooms in the 425 degree oven for roughly 30 minutes (20 covered). Honestly, it was really good. I think I’d add more Worcestershire and garlic to the dressing next time, but I’m sure lack of salt was the reason. I would definitely make this again and again.

Wonderful! Thank you, Karen.

Can you make the sauce ahead of time and warm it up? Trying to prep for a big meal in a small kitchen! Thank you!
Vegan Richa Support
Yes you can. Note that the texture and taste might not be quite the same when reheated. You might need to add a splash of water when reheating to loosen the sauce.

Of course another terrific recipe from you. I doubled the recipe and realized I have too much sauce, but I can rework it by adding nutritional yeast and maybe some vegan cheese shreds and turn it into a mac-and-cheese sauce, inspired by your “Everyday Kitchen” cookbook. 🙂

great idea Morgan 🍄

They were delicious, thank you
Vegan Richa Support
yippie! thank you

This looks so good. Wondering how people would feel only getting half of one mushroom as a serving? I know I would feel sad. I’d probably want 2 for myself! But really, how were you able to determine the serving size as 1/2 mushroom per person.
Thanks!
Richa
I had really large mushrooms. Also if it would be a part of the holiday spread then I wouldn’t want that huge a portion as there would many sides I would want to eat as well 🙂

Disclosure…I’ve not yet made this recipe, I only have a question. Please give us the approximate weight (even in grams) of the vegetables. It would help SO much, esp on the mushrooms. Also, it you could pls add a search feature to your reviews/ratings, that would help immensely. There are ~ 200 comments here. It would be so time consuming to go thru. This recipes sounds YUMMY. We intend to fix it for dinner tonight. Thank you.
