Mushroom Preparation

Queso Fresco Topping

Method

Mushroom Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Mushrooms

    Gently wipe the Portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and gills for a cleaner presentation.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Mushrooms

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic (finely chop the garlic cloves), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Coat the Mushrooms

    Place the cleaned Portobello mushrooms in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while the mushrooms are marinating.

Grilling and Serving

  1. 5

    Grill the Mushrooms

    Once marinated, place the mushrooms on the grill, gill side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and grill for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Queso Fresco Topping

    While the mushrooms are grilling, crumble the queso fresco into a bowl. Chop the fresh cilantro and mix it in with the queso fresco. Squeeze the juice of one lime into the mixture and stir well.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the mushrooms are grilled, remove them from the grill. Top each mushroom with the queso fresco mixture and serve immediately.
