Magic Mushrooms!

Portobello mushrooms are the mature versions of the small, brown crimini button mushrooms that are a little more common in the produce aisle, and their range of vitamins and minerals is impressive. Included in their nutritional arsenal are high levels of selenium, riboflavin (vitamin B2), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), copper, niacin (vitamin B3), potassium and phosphorus. Selenium is a micro mineral needed for the proper function of the antioxidant system, which works to reduce the levels of damaging free radicals in the body. These powerful antioxidant actions make selenium helpful not only against colon cancer by protecting colon cells from cancer-causing toxins, but in decreasing asthma and arthritis symptoms and in the prevention of heart disease. In addition, selenium is involved in DNA repair, yet another way in which adequate intake of this mineral is associated with a reduced risk for cancer.
Crimini mushrooms are also a good source of iron, which is primarily used as part of hemoglobin, the molecule responsible for transporting and releasing oxygen throughout the body. But hemoglobin synthesis also relies on copper. Without copper, iron cannot be properly utilized in red blood cells. Fortunately, Mother Nature supplies both minerals in portobello mushrooms!


Grilled Portobello Magic Mushrooms
Ingredients:
• 6 Portobello mushroom caps (1 per person, adjust recipe accordingly)
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tsp. dried thyme
• 2 tsp. dried oregano
• 3 coves minced garlic
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Wash mushroom caps well, carefully removing any dirt. Pat dry.
2. Throw all marinade ingredients together in a large plastic bag, smoosch around making sure it is well combined. Place mushrooms in the bag, seal it up, roll contents around to coat, and let sit in the fridge for up to 12 hours (minimum 1 hour). If you think of it, take the bag out from time to time and roll it around – this ensures that the mushrooms are well coated with marinade.
3. Prepare the grill by heating it up to medium-high. Place mushrooms on lightly oiled grill, gill side up, close grill lid and cook for 5-7 minutes or so, until grill marks appear on the underside. Flip, and repeat gill side down. The mushrooms are cooked when they are warm through and have lost a little of their “plumpness” (but they are also great raw!), so no worries about undercooking them.
4. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, or slide one into a wholegrain bun or wrap with some fresh veggies. Alternatively, you can slice them up and maybe add them to a salad - spinach with pine nuts and parmesan? YUM!
