Roasted Portabella Mushrooms - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 large portabella mushrooms, caps, marinated
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 medium zucchini, julienned
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated pecorino romano cheese or 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
salt and pepper
marinade
1/2 cup cooking sherry or 1/2 cup any other cooking wine
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (dark is ok too)
Preparation
-
PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms.
With a wet paper towel or mushroom brush, clean the mushroom tops so they are free of any dirt.
Combine the marinade ingredients in a plastic bag and add the mushrooms. Marinate for at least 30 minutes up to 24 hours. Toss the mixture a few times during the marinade process.
When your ready, roast the mushrooms on a foil lined rimmed baking sheet for 20 minutes at 400F, flipping the mushroom halfway through.
While the mushrooms are roasting, prepare the pine nuts, zucchini noodle & tomato mixture.
PREPARE THE PINE NUTS, ZUCCHINI & TOMATOES.
In a small skillet, heat the pine nuts until just starting to brown, tossing as they heat. Set aside.
Cut the tomatoes in half, place in a bowl and season with salt. Set aside.
Using a julienne peeler or spiralizer, make the zucchini noodles.
If the zucchini is particularly watery, you can blot it with a paper towel.
Otherwise, when there is about 5 minutes left on the mushrooms, proceed to heat a small skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the zucchini noodles and cherry tomatoes. Heat for 3-4 minutes, tossing a bit while you go, until tomatoes start to wilt and zucchini is heated through.
Season with salt and pepper.
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.
Once the mushrooms are tender, remove and sprinkle with sea salt (I used Maldon finishing salt available here) and the chopped thyme.
Plate the mushrooms, top with zucchini tomato mixture.
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, cheese and fresh parsley.
