Ingredients
2 large Portobello mushrooms or 3 medium, cleaned with a damp cloth
- Marinade:
3/4 tsp (0.75 tsp) smoked paprika
1 tsp (1 tbsp) extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp (1 tsp) white wine or use a tsp white wine vinegar or omit
2 tsp vegan Worcestershire sauce or use soy sauce (tamari to make glutenfree)
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic minced
a generous dash of salt and pepper
- Creamy Smoky Garlic Sauce:
1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) or more salt
1/4 cup (32.25 g) raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 15 minutes if needed)
1 tbsp arrowroot starch or use flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp oil
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp nutritional yeast optional, if you like the gravy cheesier, use more
1 to 2 tbsp white wine
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) water
chopped fresh basil and black pepper to taste for garnish
5 cloves of garlic minced
Directions
- In a shallow dish, mix all the ingredients under marinade. Place the portobello mushrooms in the dish and brush the marinade all over, Let it marinade for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Heat a grill or a heavy bottom pan over medium heat. Spray or brush oil on the pan. When hot, place the mushrooms on the pan, partially cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. If the the mushrooms are thin, they will cook through in the time. If they are thick, transfer to the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until a knife goes through easily. To Bake the marinated mushrooms without grill step, bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the shallow dish.
- Make the sauce: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and pinch of salt and cook until translucent.
- Transfer half of the mixture to a blender. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Blend a couple of times of 1 minute cycles so the cashews blend in.
- Pour the blended mixture into the skillet with the remaining onion garlic and cook over medium heat until thickened. Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Add a dash of thyme and a tsp of vegan worcestershire or soy sauce for additional flavor if needed.
- Serve the mushrooms drizzled generously with the creamy sauce, fresh basil (adds great flavor) and black pepper.
