Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mixed fresh parsley and cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, cored, seeded, and finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, diced
  • 4 large portobello mushrooms, cleaned and stemmed
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for sauce and grill

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, lime juice, kosher salt, oregano, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Gently fold diced avocado into the herb mixture, taking care not to mash it.
  • Brush the cleaned portobello mushrooms generously with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Place mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour the avocado herb marinade over them. Cover and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl to make the Yummy Goodness Sauce.
  • Preheat grill to medium heat, about 350-400°F (175-200°C).
  • Grill portobello mushrooms for about 5 minutes on one side, brushing with Yummy Goodness Sauce as they cook.
  • Flip mushrooms and grill for another 5 minutes, continuing to brush with the sauce, until tender and nicely charred.
  • Remove mushrooms from grill and spoon any remaining avocado herb marinade on top before serving.
  • Serve warm as a main dish or as a flavorful side, enjoying the fresh, zesty, and smoky combination.
