Such a lovely name. I did not give this fungi the respect it deserves until about a year ago.
Since my lifestyle change, I had not eaten any meat and wanted something more substantial and of a texture different from that of potatoes, rice, or salads. This is what I created and it tastes great.
- 2 Portabellas (per person)
- Mrs. Dash seasoning (or equivalent)
- roasted red pepper (from glass or, fresh if you have time to roast
- green and yellow zucchini
- 1 Tbsp Liquid Smoke
- 1/2 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp butter
- (Provolone cheese if you’re not Vegan.)
Wipe the portabellas with a paper towel. Do not wash them because they’ll get water-logged and unsuitable. Heat the oil and butter in pan, add the portabellas, top down, then red peppers on the side. Sautee covered, for about 10 minutes on medium heat.
Cut zucchini (like french fries) and add to pan. Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash. Turn the portabellas, zucchini, and red peppers, and continue to sautee, covered, for another 5-8 minutes. Place red peppers on top of the portabellas and then add cheese and Liquid Smoke. Cover again and cook for another few minutes until the cheese has melted. Looks really nice and colorful.
