Marinated grilled Portabella mushrooms with Feta Cheese

Jumbo grilled portabella mushrooms marinated in lemon, balsamic and peppers, then topped with chunks of Feta cheese to finish.

Remove the portabella stems, rinse under water then soak them in a Lemon-Dijon vinagrette marinade for an hour or two.

Or you can cheat and just use an off-the-shelf Italian salad dressing. grilled portabella mushrooms
Depending on how large the portobella you've selected for grilling really determines how many to serve per person.

Occasionally you'll find some very large mushrooms at your supermarket, these ones are usually big enough to just serve 1 per person as a grilled vegetable side dish.

Place the mushrooms in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them and seal the bag.

Refrigerate 1 - 2 hours.

The portabella mushrooms absorb a significant amount of the marinade so don't let them soak much longer then the 2 hours.

Step 2:
Oil the BBQ grates well and preheat the grill to 450F - 475F.

Place the marinated portabella face side down (side that had the stem), close the lid for 5 - 7 minutes.

Lift the BBQ lid and flip the mushrooms over and spoon 2 tablespoons crumbled Feta cheese on each portabello. Close the lid.

After another 8 - 10 minutes lift the lid and if the cheese has melted to your satisfaction then remove the portabella mushrooms with a spatula to a serving plate.

Serve immediately, Enjoy!
