Ingredients

• 4 large caps portobello mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 200 grams broccolini
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
• 2 tablespoons (or vegan butter) butter

Directions

Step 1

Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

Step 4

While the mushrooms marinate, boil the baby potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

Steam or blanch the broccolini for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender, then set aside.

Step 6

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, brushing them with leftover marinade as they cook. Remove from heat when they are tender and slightly charred.

Step 7

In a separate large skillet, melt the butter (or vegan butter) over medium heat. Add the boiled potatoes and sauté until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in lemon zest and parsley, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

Arrange the grilled mushrooms on a platter alongside the crispy potatoes and broccolini. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
