Roasted Portobello Mushroom Packets with Garlic, Shallots, and Balsamic Vinegar

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I love mushrooms!  They add that indescribable umami flavor to everything and Portobello ones add meaty heft as well.  I’ve described how I normally roast them in foil packets in a previous post but tonight, I made a variation where I added a garlic, shallot, and balsamic vinaigrette puree to the packets before I roasted them.

Time to make Roasted Portobello Mushroom Packets with Garlic, Shallots, and Balsamic Vinegar!

Serves 4-5 

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium shallots, coarsely chopped
  • 10-15 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons ghee or fat of choice
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
  • Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 large Portobello mushrooms, tops wiped clean and stems and gills removed
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Equipment:

  • All of my recommended kitchen tools are listed here.

Method:

Preheat oven to 400 F and coarsely chop the shallots and trim the ends of the garlic.

Coarsely chopped onions and garlic cloves on a cutting board.

Throw the shallots and garlic into a mini-prep food processor or finely mince by hand, Mr. Yan Can Cook.

Shallots minced in a food processor.

Add your choice of fat and vinegar to the minced alliums in a 3:1 ratio of oil to vinegar.  Season the vinaigrette mixture with a good sprinkling of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Place each Portobello mushroom on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, stem side up.  Lightly coat each ‘shroom with extra virgin olive oil and some salt and pepper.  Put a dollop of vinaigrette into each mushroom, spreading until the cap is filled.

A portobello mushroom cap turned upside down filled with the shallot mixture.

Tightly seal each mushroom packet and place on a baking tray.  Stick the tray in the oven and roast for ~25 minutes.
