Portobello Mushrooms…

Get out your smoker because these mushrooms are so delicious smoked!  To wash or not to wash a mushroom – that is the question?  I usually just wipe off any of the excess dirt that is on any mushroom, trim the stems and go for it!  With the Portobello mushroom, the first thing I do is spoon out the gills, I keep the stem intact; I find the gills give the mushroom a bitter taste!  Spray them with a hint of EVOO, salt and pepper to taste and I add some fresh rosemary (if I have any) and they are a mighty tasty treat that can accompany just about any protein or as tasty appetizer!
