Portobello Mushrooms
4 large Portobello mushroom caps, stems removed
4 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup vegetable stock
2 tbsp Montreal steak seasoning
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
Turn oven to 375F. In a large bowl add ingredients. Allow the mushrooms to marinate for minimum 30 minutes. In a large baking dish add all of the contents of the bowl, evenly spacing mushrooms, smooth side down. Ensure mushrooms are coated with marinade. Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes, until cooked to your desired texture (OR, if preferred, BBQ on a grill for 2 minutes on each side, until cooked to your desired texture). Serve with Cabernet Sauvignon Reduction, sautéed greens (see below) and roasted potatoes.
