The best thing about grilling portobello mushrooms, aside from the meaty deliciousness, is that they are substantial and similar in texture to a piece of grilled meat. The difference between portobellos and meat is that mushrooms are much easier on the digestive system. Marinating the mushrooms is essential if you want to avoid the inherent earthy flavor of mushrooms. While it’s your decision to remove the stems of the mushrooms, we recommend discarding them because they can be fibrous and unpleasant.
