Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix olive oil, Burgundy wine, minced garlic, salt, and minced shallot in a bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the sliced portabella mushrooms.
- Marinate the mushrooms for at least 2 hours.
- Grill or sauté the marinated mushrooms in a medium-hot skillet with a little olive oil until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added depth of flavor, consider using a richer red wine than Burgundy, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, substitute with vegetable broth mixed with a splash of vinegar. Adjust the garlic to your taste; roasted garlic can provide a sweeter note. If you're grilling, ensure the grill is well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
These grilled portabella mushrooms make a fantastic side dish or a hearty main when served on a bun as a burger alternative. Pair them with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. They also complement well with a glass of red wine or can be served alongside dishes like Black-Eyed Pea Jambalaya for a diverse flavor experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marinated mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of olive oil if necessary to prevent drying out. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the mushrooms rubbery.
