Grilled Portabella Mushroom Recipe

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. This will be used to marinate the mushrooms.

2. 2

   Marinate the Mushrooms

   Place the portabella mushrooms in a large dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Roast the Red Bell Peppers

   Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally until the skin is blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let them cool, then peel off the skin and slice.

4. 4

   Make the White Bean Hummus

   In a food processor, combine white beans, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if needed to achieve desired consistency.

5. 5

   Grill the Mushrooms

   Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated portabella mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks.

6. 6

   Prepare the Crostini

   Slice the baguette into thin slices and brush with olive oil. Toast in the oven or on the grill until golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Assemble the Dish

   On each crostini, spread a layer of white bean hummus, top with a grilled portabella mushroom, and finish with slices of roasted red bell pepper.
