Ingredients
4 large portobello mushrooms1/4 c balsamic vinegar1/2 c pineapple juice2 TBSP chopped, fresh ginger, peeled1 TBSP chopped, fresh basil
Directions
1 serving = 1 mushroom; makes 4 servings
1. Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove their stems. Place in a glass dish, stemless (gill) side up.
2. To prepare the marinade, in a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, pineapple juice and ginger.
3. Drizzle the marinade over the mushrooms.
4. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator about 1 hour, turning mushrooms once.
5. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler.
6. Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray (I use PAM for grilling). Position the cooking rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
7. Grill or broil the mushrooms on medium heat, turning often, until tender--about 5 minutes per side.
8. During cooking, baste the mushrooms with marinade to keep them from drying out.
9.Using tongs, transfer the mushrooms to a serving platter.
10. Garnish with basil and serve immediately.
