Grilled Thai Portobello

Grilled Thai Portobello is a smoky and savory vegan dish that highlights the meaty texture of portobello mushrooms marinated in a rich Thai-inspired sauce. Perfect for a summer BBQ, this dish is bursting with flavor and pairs well with rice or fresh salads.

Ingredients

• Portobello mushrooms - 2 large
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Chili paste - 1 teaspoon
• Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili paste to create the marinade.
2. Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems, then place them in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat and brush with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the marinated portobello mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
5. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds, if using, before serving.
