Portabella mushrooms have become my go-to for family bbq’s. I bring my own already marinated, along with a few extras to share. Here’s the recipe for a magically delicious marinade (found in Mollie Katzen’s Get Cooking).
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and pepper
Directions: Wisk ingredients together. Place a spoonful over the smooth side of each mushroom cap. Flip caps and pour the rest of the mixture over the mushrooms. Cover and refrigerate for anywhere from two hours to two days. Heat caps over a hot grill or saute in a pan for about five minutes on each side, depending on size. They are delicious every time!
*In a rush Ken’s Light Balsamic Vinegar makes a pretty good marinade, too.

Do you ever bring your own food to get togethers? What do you bring? How do you handle it?
