6 ea Whole portabella mushrooms
— cleaned, stems removed ——————————–VINAIGRETTE——————————– 1/4 c Vinegar
3/4 c Olive oil
1 ts Sugar
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper

Prepare vinaigrette: Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a lidded jar. Shake well just before using. Lay clean mushrooms in a shallow baking dish and pour 1/2 cup of vinaigrette over it. Cover and marinate for up to 24 hours, turning the mushrooms once. When ready to cook, drain dressing; reserve for another purpose. TO GRILL: Place on grill over warm coals for 5 to 10 minutes, turning once. TO BROIL: Place on a baking sheet and set under broiler for 5 to 8 minutes. TO BAKE: Place baking dish in preheated 425 F oven for about 15 minutes. NOTE: You may substitute sliced portabellas. However, you may need to grill them on a piece of foil to avoid breakage. Poke holes in the foil to assure a good smoky flavor. Kyra Effren, “The Dallas Morning News” Posted by Karen Mintzias
