Portobello Mushroom Shishlik Recipe

Preparation and Grilling

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

2. 2

   Marinate the Mushrooms

   Remove the stems from the Portobello mushrooms and gently wipe the caps with a damp cloth. Place the mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

3. 3

   Prepare the Skewers

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, you can skip this step.

4. 4

   Skewer the Mushrooms

   Once marinated, thread one Portobello mushroom cap onto each skewer. You can cut the mushrooms in half if desired for easier grilling.

5. 5

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C).

6. 6

   Grill the Shishlik

   Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are tender and have nice grill marks. Baste with leftover marinade for extra flavor during grilling.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
