With Memorial Day tomorrow, this Seasonal Sunday idea is all about keeping things simple, flavorful and perfect for the grill.
Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
Large portobello mushrooms marinated in bold sauces like Gochujang, Korean barbecue, Teriyaki or even oil-free Italian dressing, then grilled until tender and smoky.
These gigantic portobello mushrooms are one of the easiest things to throw onto the grill and they absorb marinades beautifully. Each one takes on a completely different personality depending on the sauce you choose.
Gochujang gives them a spicy, savory depth. Korean barbecue sauce brings sweetness and smoky flavor. Teriyaki creates that delicious sweet-salty glaze, while oil-free Italian dressing keeps things bright and light.
Simply marinate the mushrooms for a bit while the grill heats up, then place them directly on the grill over medium-high heat.

I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
