Delicious! I loosely followed directions, using just one big portobello mushroom and about half the marinade. I used red onion and broiled the mushroom in the oven. I served this on whole wheat buns with mayo and sliced cheddar cheese. Yum!Made a great dinner, along with steamed asparagus and a mixed greens salad. Thanks Sue!
