Description

There’s something magical about the scent of grilled portobello mushrooms with herbs wafting through a summer evening in New York City. These juicy, herby mushrooms blend Greek and Polish roots, honoring tradition and family connection—perfect for vegetarians and meat lovers alike.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps, wiped clean, stems removed
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • Optional: feta or goat cheese, fresh herbs, lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Choose firm, plump portobello mushrooms with fresh brown gills. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, remove stems.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, thyme, dill (if using), balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Brush the marinade generously over both sides of each mushroom, paying special attention to the gills.
  4. Let mushrooms marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour, flipping halfway for even flavor.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high and oil the grates.
  6. Place mushrooms gill-side down. Grill for 4–5 minutes, until grill marks form.
  7. Flip mushrooms and grill another 3–4 minutes, basting with extra marinade as they cook.
  8. Remove when mushrooms are tender and juicy, but not mushy.
  9. Serve whole or sliced. Top with feta or goat cheese, extra fresh herbs, or a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy as a main, in a sandwich, or on salads and grain bowls.

Notes

Grilled portobello mushrooms with herbs are healthy, vegan (without cheese), and gluten-free. Use any fresh herbs you like, and make extra for sandwiches, wraps, or salads during the week. This recipe brings together family, flavor, and simple joy at the table.
