Spicy Roasted Portabellas

Spicy Roasted Portabellas

These portabella mushrooms are juicy and the flavour is awesome. Our family love them with Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas dinner.

These were made along with Savory Roasted Potatoes. Use the delectable leftover broth from the potatoes to baste the mushrooms.

Spicy Roasted Portabellas

I highly recommend you try serving the potato and mushroom recipes together. The spicy potato broth should be enough for about eight medium mushroom, or four gigantic ones. If you are serving more than four people the smaller mushrooms might be more manageable to make as they will fit on your baking sheet better and can more easily be divided amongst your guests.

These mushrooms were almost six inches in diameter and I used all the potato liquid. If you are not making the roast potatoes or you need extra broth for basting, try the recipe below.

The Ingredients

  • 4 five inch portabellas or 8 three inch
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • juice of one lemon (or 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar)
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp.dried basil
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. dried mustard powder
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar (or maple syrup)
  • Gently rinse the mushrooms, or wipe them with a damp paper towel, remove the stems, and pat dry. Place them on a large baking tray with the underside up. Wisk together all of the ingredients, (if not using potato gravy) and pour evenly over each mushroom. Bake at 375 degrees until portabella mushrooms are juicy and tender through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately, or reheat just before serving.

    The picture below shows a vegan menu that works beautifully for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other holiday feast.

    Ping

    A beautiful young woman recovering from a terrible plague fears she is the only person left alive on earth.

    Stranded alone until spring with no means of communication, she begins to believe a child is contacting her telepathically.

    In a traumatic search to find him she runs into an attractive man with a dark and secretive past.

    Swayed by his insistence that her telepathy is imagined and that they must begin to repopulate the earth immediately, Kate is torn between Jack and her gut feeling the voices are real.

    The second book in the series is now available.

    Ping

    The few survivors—preoccupied with their struggles to raise healthy children and preserve what they can of civilization—are unaware that eight-year-old Travis has a dangerous plan that will ultimately change their world in ways they could never have imagined.
