(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • For the parsley-less chimi:
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped shallots
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp. finely minced fresh red chile
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt, or more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • For the mushrooms:
  • 1 1/4 lbs. Portobello mushroom caps
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish

Directions

  1. Make the chimi: In a small bowl, stir together the vinegar, oil, shallots, garlic, scallions, chile, cilantro, salt and black pepper.

  2. Prepare the mushrooms: Set the mushrooms gill-side up. Use a spoon to scoop out the gills and discard them.

  3. Arrange the mushrooms on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and rub all over with about half the chimi. Marinate on the counter for 30 minutes.

  4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until really hot but not smoking.

  5. Season the shrooms with salt and pepper and grill them, domed-side down, until grill marks form, 4-5 minutes. Flip and grill, basting a couple of times with the marinade, until charred on both sides and tender all the way through, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

  6. Put the mushrooms on a cutting board, let them rest for a couple of minutes, then slice into thick slices. Serve them with the remaining chimi and garnish with scallions.
