4 large portabella mushrooms
Marinade:
1/4 cups red cider vinegar
1/8 cups tamari
1/4 cups water
2 tbsps. sucanat
2 tbsps. sesame oil
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
4 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fire oil or other hot pepper oil
Brush any dirt off of mushrooms, and cut off stem of mushroom. (Save the stem pieces for gravy). Then make a marinade out of ingredients. Stack mushrooms in a tupperware container and pour over mushrooms. You might need more marinade to completely cover mushrooms. Refrigerate for at least four hours.
Then heat a large frypan to medium heat, with a dash of olive oil. Place mushrooms in pan cap down. Pour more marinade over mushrooms as they cook. Flip mushrooms after about five minutes. Add more marinade to new side. Cook about five more minutes or until the mushrooms are nicely browned on both sides.
After mushrooms have cooked I place them in the warm oven and use the remaining juice in the pan to make gravy. I add the minced marinaded stem pieces, and a tablespoon more oil. Brown up the pieces, then I add flour stirred into water to thicken, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, a dash of tamari, salt and pepper to taste. This gravy is sensational served over garlic mashed potatoes, or baby red potatoes.
Makes 4 servings.
