0.5 kg of mushrooms (portabella are the best, but we also use 'funghi pleurotus'... just get big, pretty ones... not the champignon white guys)
for the marinade (you can double this if you want them super saucy!):
4-5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons mustard (whole grain is better)
2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper

Steps:

1. mix the marinade together 2. add it to a bowl of the fresh mushrooms and gently toss them so that they're covered in the marinade. 3. set your table, because they don't take long to cook - let the mushrooms marinade for about 15 - 20 minutes. 4. spread the mushrooms out on a stove top grill (if you don't have a grill, I suppose you could just do it in a frying pan 5. Depending on the size of the mushrooms, they usually only need 10-15 minutes. Don't let them dry out - use a spoon to cover them with the marinade. Helps to heat the plates in the oven before you eat, otherwise they cook off pretty quickly.
