I get big, fresh mushrooms and either fry on low heat or grill until
tender. I sometmes marinate in soy sauce and spices before I cook.

There seems to be some pretty good cooks on this list, esp. when it
comes to veggies.
I want to make Portabello Mushroom sandwiches, and was wondering if
any of you have a recipe or concocotion of some sort? When we were
in Toronto, I had one at Gretsky's that was luscious, but of course I
can't remember what all was in it, besides the mushrooms and cheese -
Monteray Jack, I think.
So any contributions would be appreciated. VBG
Thanks.
Linda
I've had them marinated in balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Very yummy!

Yes Sharon!! Yummy! I used to do that and then grill them and serve with
pasta...but my husband decided he didn't like it...sigh - man has no taste
buds. Never thought of putting them in a sandwich after
grilling...hmmmm...

There were some picnic sandwiches featured in an issue of
Gourmet .. like I can recall when ... I'll try to look when I'm
not so exhausted. But the one that I loved the sound of and
subsequently made was a grilled veggie sandwich that was maybe
the best sandwich I'd ever eaten. On a small baguette or other
crusty bread, layer:
grilled portabello mushrooms, sliced
grilled small eggplant slices
grilled red, yellow peppers (& any other color you have)
sprinkle with good quality balsamic vinegar & a few grinds of
black pepper over each layer. Press a bit & wrap. Better if
they stand for a couple of hours. That lets the flavors blend
nicely & soak into the bread a bit without getting soggy.

The first time I had them was at a vegetarian barbeque. The mushrooms were
grilled and then served as "hamburgers". They were delicious! Yum, I think I
know what's for dinner tomorrow!

OK, here it is 2:30 a.m. and I'm sitting here going through my email
instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing and you guys are posting
these mouth-watering food ideas. All I had the energy to make for dinner
was soup (after slinging large slabs of flagstone all day) and I AM HUNGRY!
No Fair...not a portabello in the house...sigh.
But thanks - think I know one of the things we'll have to eat next week
once I hit the grocery store.

I'm glad you liked it Tera. Guess what I did for dinner last
night?
jaime
Wow! Thanks to all for these great ideas! Keep 'em coming if you
have more! I'll be preparing Jaime's recipe for dinner tonight, and
will use the others later.
What fun!!!

Thanks so much.

Me too, Marge. What are you up to?? I'm finally getting around
to moving the Pennsylvania bluestone my neighbors gifted to me.
All I'm doing at this point is moving it from the front of the
house to the back. Then I'll begin to lay them in.
Hard, hard, hard work for a couple of ol' ladies. :)
Jaime, who only made that grilled stuff 'cause she happened to
have it all on hand. Then collapsed. how in the world are you
up at 2:30 a.m. after working like that?

Trying to get this paving project I started last fall done! Would have,
too, if I could have gotten out of the office to get to the stone yard to
exchange a couple and get a few more...almost there! Now the faithful auto
is in the shop, so I'll be lucky to get them tomorrow.

Tell me about it! I ain't gettin' any younger and I sure know it after
hefting those flags around - and just why is it that you have to lift the
heaviest ones the most times in order to get them to seat properly???
Coming down the back stretch, I have to make two walks (on either side of
my sand bed) meet at a drain I put in to take the rainwater off in the far
left corner of the end. Of course, the right side ended up about 1/2 inch
lower than it was supposed to be when I turned the corner, so I got to lift
about six feet of nicely set paving and re-set it. I do just *love*
re-doing stuff...NOT.
Some of the big ones are too heavy to "lift" and carry - have to walk them
from the rack to the site...sloooow. Watch your back - bluestones are
unforgiving!

Well, it's the night owl in my blood...but I was not being productive and
got to pay that piper's price...so now it's after 4:30 a.m. two days later
and my inbox is still overloaded :-) I may never get caught up on email in
this lifetime.
But, I am quitting! And, now, revisiting this topic, I find I am hungry
again! Ack!

Just as an aside to this thread, Crimini mushrooms, found commonly alongside the common white mushrooms in grocery stores, are actually baby Portabellos.
