Grilled Portobello Mushrooms & Shallots With Rosemary-Dijon image

These can easily become the star attraction to your next grilled meal! For the grilling itself, build a moderate, medium-heat fire. The veggies come out tender and full of smoky flavor and can be served warm or at room temp. If grill marks do not appear after 5 minutes, adjust either the heat level or the position on the grill. I have made these with chunks of red onion with equally good results. These have great flavor! Interesting factoid: Once the mushroom reaches 4 to 6" in diameter, it is called a Portobello rather than a Portabella. Adapted from Cook's Illustrated magazine, May, 2009. Hope you enjoy.

Time 33m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 medium shallots, peeled
6 portabello mixed mushrooms, 5 inches in diameter (about 4 ounces each)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
2 small garlic cloves, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
3 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Thread shallots through roots and stem ends onto 2 metal skewers.
  • Scrape most of the gills out of the mushrooms.
  • Using sharp knife, cut ¼-inch slits, spaced ½ inch apart, in crosshatch pattern on non-gill side of mushrooms.
  • Brush shallots and mushrooms evenly with ¼ cup olive oil and season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon table salt) and pepper to taste.
  • Whisk remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, rosemary, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt (or ¼ teaspoon table salt) together in small bowl, set aside.
  • Grill vegetables over medium heat, brushing with sauce, turning several times, until tender and caramelized, 16 to 18 minutes (move vegetables as needed to ensure even cooking).
  • Transfer vegetables to platter; remove skewers from shallots and discard any charred outer layers.
  • Re-whisk remaining marinade, pour over vegetables, and serve.
