With 5 minutes of prep time and 8 minutes on the grill, you can easily give this a try and let us know. Portobello mushrooms are meaty and tender and whether served as an appetizer or a side dish, they are tasty and versatile. Flavors like smoked chili peppers, garlic, caraway, coriander and cumin are already infused in our Harissa olive oil which contributes to the speedy preparation, the short list of ingredients and the robust flavor. Grilled vegetables are a popular side dish for the barbecue – add this dish to your menu for something unique, delicious and with a little less work!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large portobello mushroom caps
- 1-2 tablespoons of Olive This! Harissa Olive Oil
- kosher salt
DIRECTIONS
Clean mushroom caps, remove stems and place on a plate with gills facing down. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of Harissa olive oil into a small bowl or dish. Prepare your grill at a high heat.
Brush the olive oil evenly over the tops of the caps working swiftly because the mushrooms tend to absorb the olive oil rather quickly. Alternatively, you could drizzle the olive oil directly onto the mushroom cap however we found that it absorbed too quickly before we got a chance to spread it evenly.
Flip over the mushroom caps and drizzle additional olive oil into the gills. Lightly sprinkle the gills with kosher salt.
Grill, gill sides up, for about 3- 4 minutes (depending on the size of your Portobello caps). Flip once and grill for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove from grill and serve immediately. Enjoy.
