Grilled Portabella Mushrooms with Broccoli and Cheese

Looking for a new grilled vegetable side dish? Love mushrooms and broccoli? Don’t forget the cheese! I served this with a beef tenderloin roast that was just under 2 lbs. The broccoli was freshly blanched to the almost tenderness I like. The broccoli tenderness didn’t really change from the time spent on  the grill.

Do you run your mushrooms under water to clean them? The recommended method is by dry brushing lightly with a damp paper towel or soft brush. So which camp do you fall into? I’m a middle of the road girl when it comes to this. I usually use a damp paper towels but there are mushrooms that I run under water. It depends to me on how dry the mushroom cap is. When they are really dry and fresh I almost always use a paper towel. The gills underneath are still tight. But then there is that bargain at the grocery store that was just marked down and really cheap, yep I will buy them. Those I will run under cold water but I always leave them to air dry them on a paper towel. I use mushrooms like those for duxelles, stews and soups.

    Regarding cleaning mushrooms: I’m a middle of the road person too. If I’m going to cook the mushrooms, I will give them a quick rinse under running water; If I’m going to serve them raw, I wipe them off with a damp towel.

    This recipe looks amazing – combining my favorite veggies. I cannot wait to try it!
