Pan Seared Portobello Mushrooms

Flavorful and yummy, this can be made in as little as 20 minutes and pairs well with most sides. I have served this as a main with pasta and as a side with mushroom rice and scallops. Perfect vegetarian main dish or can be a great side dish.

Ingredients:

• 16 ozs portobello mushrooms (sliced into 1/2″ thick pieces)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 – 2 tbsp olive oil
• Handful of parsley (roughly chopped)

Instructions:

1. Season the mushrooms with garlic powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, half the parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Let the seasoned mushrooms sit on a cutting board or dish for 10 minutes to marinate.
3. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a saute pan on medium high heat.
4. Place mushrooms in a single layer being careful not to crowd. You will need to cook in batches.
5. Cook on the first side for 3 minutes, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Lower heat if the mushrooms are browning too much.
6. Add more olive oil in between batches.
7. Top the finished mushrooms with the remaining fresh parsley and serve.
