Portabella mushrooms are perfect for grilling. They can stand alone or be added to a number of dishes. This large mushroom is a tender addition to a burger or as a meat substitute for a vegetarian sandwich. The meaty texture is filling and mushrooms have wonderful health benefits. They are rich in selenium, help promote oxygenation of the blood and cellular energy production and are rich in antioxidants. Marinate the portabella caps for some extra flavor before you put them on the grill. You can use your favorite marinade or create a special one to compliment the dish you plan on making. For an Asian inspired taste, try using Saki, oil, salt and pepper. You can let them marinate overnight or allow them to simply cook with the flavors. Once the caps are tender and have been grilled on both sides, they are ready for you to enjoy. In this video, Chef Mark will give you step by step cooking lesson for grilled mushrooms. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
