Barefoot Blogging: Lemon Herb Mushrooms

Yeah, I realize that the actual recipe is butterflied chicken but we "don't eat no meat" around here. What I did realize is the lemon rub for the chicken would taste great on portobella mushrooms. For the two of us I halved the amount of rub so I mixed half a quarter cup of herbs (instead of all rosemary I did half rosemary and half lemon thyme), 2 garlic cloves (more than half but what the hell), 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, a little less than 1 Tbs of lemon juice, 2 tsp olive oil and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. I then took the gills off the underside of 4 portobellas and rubbed the mixture in really well while I preheated the oven to 425. before popping the mushrooms in the oven I put some Parmesan cheese over the top and bake about 12 minutes until the cheese was nice and melty. I whipped up some mashed potatoes and green beans and dinner was served.
The lemon rub did go very well with the meaty mushroom. I just wish I had put more cheese on the mushrooms

I would so much have rather had your mushrooms, green beans and mashed potatoes for dinner. I'm suprised the lemon rub didn't work well on the mushrooms. It sounds like it would be heavenly. Maybe with more cheese, like you said.
Great job! Your mushrooms look wonderful. it seems like you can never add enough cheese to things doesn't it?!
Thanks! Cheese and cake, two very good reasons why I could never go vegan.
