(The meal kind of ended up looking like a face, with mushrooms for eyes – thankfully we were able to cover those accusing fung-eyes with the other halves of the bread rolls before eating them!)
After reading about grilled portobello mushrooms in the Vegetables section of Veganomicon, I decided to give them a try. I love grilled mushrooms on pizza, but I’ve always shied away from cooking mushrooms myself because of the various warnings I’ve heard about not washing them before cooking. I’m still a little nervous about whether wiping them off gets the mushrooms really clean or not, but I guess they must have been okay since neither Alex nor I got food poisoning!
Anyway, the mushrooms tasted great, but I think I prefer them small and sliced rather than huge and whole. We served them with Cajun Fries from Vegan with a Vengeance, which were lovely – I bought paprika and cayenne especially for that recipe, so I’m really glad we liked the spices!
