Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms cleaned, stems and gills removed
- balsamic glaze
For the Marinate
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing the grill grates (avocado oil can be used)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 large garlic clove grated
- 1 teaspoon fresh Rosemary finely chopped
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
For the Caprese Salad
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese balls or pearls drained
- 1 cup Cherry or grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil thinly sliced, (divided)
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large resealable bag or shallow dish, mix all the marinade ingredients. Add the mushrooms and gently toss to coat. Marinate for 10 minutes, flipping once.
- Heat the grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Make sure your grill grates are clean. Oil the grates right before cooking.
- In a medium bowl, mix the fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of basil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and place them on the hot grill, stems side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the mushrooms and cook on the other side for about 5 to 6 minutes or until the mushrooms are heated through and tender.
- To fill the mushrooms with ease, you may want to remove the mushrooms from the grill and place them on a plate or sheet pan. Fill each portobello mushroom with the caprese salad and close the grill lid to allow the heat to melt the cheese. If using a grill pan, cover the grill pan with a large lid (from a pan/pot) or place the grill pan under a pre-heated broiler for a few minutes or until the cheese melts.
- Remove from the grill (or broiler), Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of basil. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use fresh water-packed mozzarella, drained, cut into 1/2-inch cubes or shredded mozzarella.
- You can use 2 vine ripened tomatoes chopped into small chunks.
- You can marinate the portobello mushrooms for up to 30 minutes
- If serving this dish as an appetizer, get smaller portobello mushrooms. You may need 6 or 8 depending on their size.
- Before grilling, clean and oil the grill grates.
- Nutrition facts are an estimate and will vary depending on brand of ingredients used.
- To make your own balsamic glaze you will need approximately 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar. This will yield about 1/4 cup of glaze or less depending on how thick you want the glaze.
