Portabello Mushrooms

You will really enjoy this version of Portabello Mushrooms with Fresh Orange Sauce. It is really good and makes an excellent entreé accompaned with fresh bread or rolls and a salad. It is very easy as there is not much preparation. When cleaning mushrooms, rinse over running water and let water flow through the gills. Then take a paper towel and remove any bruised bits.

Ingredients

  • 2 large Portabello Mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • Juice of 2 medium size oranges
  • ½ cup sliced onion
  • 2 teaspoons garlic
  • 1 teaspoons coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Method

  • Rinse and slice mushrooms into 4 pieces each
  • Heat oil on medium setting. Saute onions then add spices
  • Add mushrooms and mix with spices. Close lid, lower heat & cook for about 6 min.
  • This slow cooking will let out juices from the mushroom. Now add half the orange juice and blend.
  • Cook another 5 minutes, add the rest of the juice and simmer, turning mushrooms to be well coated
  • When mushrooms appear cooked, increase the temperature while watching the contents. This will allow the juices to be absored in the mushroom and reduce the amount of liquid.
  • The sauces should be thick and not runny. It should now be ready to serve
