Ingredients:

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, olive oil, and vinegar.
- Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Marinate the Mushrooms:
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat both sides of the Portobello mushroom caps with the prepared marinade.
- Ensure that the mushrooms are evenly coated for maximum flavor infusion.
- Cover the mushrooms and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Preheat the Grill or Oven Broiler:
- While the mushrooms are marinating, preheat your grill to medium heat or set your oven broiler to low.
-
Grill the Mushrooms:
- Once the grill or broiler is preheated, place the marinated Portobello mushrooms directly on the grill grates or on a rack positioned low in the oven.
- Grill or broil the mushrooms for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and lightly charred.
- Keep a close eye on the mushrooms to prevent burning, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain an even cooking temperature.
-
Serve Hot:
- Once the mushrooms are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill or oven.
- Serve the grilled Portabella mushrooms immediately while they are still hot and flavorful.
