Preparation
Clean the mushrooms by removing all soil residue, wipe them with a damp cloth, and dry with paper towels. If necessary, remove a small piece of stem to make them flat.
Brush them with a little extra virgin olive oil, then place them on a pan or non-stick griddle.
Cook them over medium heat, turning them on both sides (1-2) and adding a pinch of salt. It will take 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness; check they are tender by inserting a toothpick.
While they cook, prepare the seasoning: peel the garlic and press it into a small bowl, add the chopped parsley, a pinch of chili pepper (to taste), one or two tablespoons of soy sauce, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Mix well with a fork.
Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms onto a cutting board and slice them thinly (3).
Place them on a tray and sprinkle with the prepared seasoning. If you wish, you can add additional herbs like thyme.
The portobello mushroom slices are ready, you can serve them either hot or at room temperature, as a side dish or as a vegetarian main course.
