How to Eat Portobello Mushrooms:
Summer is a great time to grill up these big, burger-sized mushrooms. Remove the stems. Rub off any dirt. Use a small spoon to remove the gills. Set grill on medium-low heat, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for 10 minutes top side down. They make a great patty replacement in a vegetarian burger or are delicious as a side to other summer dishes. If you want an extra twist, fill the caps up with balsamic vinegar before placing on the grill. Yum!
