Cooking for people

Ingredients

4 large portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed and wiped clean

Marinade

2 tbsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup olive oil
1 tsp. garlic powder
0.5 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. dried oregano
kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Aji Verde Sauce

1.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
0.3 cup fresh mint leaves
2 cloves garlic
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded
0.5 cup mayonnaise
0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
kosher salt, to taste

1 Food Prep

In a shallow baking dish, whisk together your marinade ingredients. Add your mushrooms to the marinade and flip to coat. Let your mushrooms marinate for at least 20–30 minutes.

While your mushrooms marinate, make your Aji Verde sauce. Place your sauce ingredients together in a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until mostly smooth (you will still have some green specks). Season to taste with additional salt if needed and set aside.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets

Method: Direct-Heat Grilling

Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)

How to Gauge Grill Heat Without a Thermometer

Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:

• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds

Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.

When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

3 The Cook

When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place your mushrooms on the grill and cook until deep brown and caramelized, about 3–4 minutes on each side. If there is any marinade leftover, you can brush your mushrooms as they cook.
Serve your mushrooms hot with the Aji Verde sauce drizzled over the top.
