Portobello mushrooms are famously meaty, so they make a great vegetarian main ingredient, whether grilled, roasted, or sauteed. We rounded up our best portobello mushroom recipes for everyone to enjoy, on Meatless Monday and beyond.
If you’ve ever been confused by the question of whether it’s portobello or portabella, they’re the same thing—and these large-scale fungi are actually just grown-up cremini mushrooms. (Specifically, once a cremini gets to be bigger than 4 inches in diameter, it’s called a portobello.)
Now that we’re all clear, here are 9 delicious ways to eat them.
And note that you can also chop portobellos into smaller pieces and use them anywhere button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms are called for, but it’s well worth highlighting the portobello’s larger-than-average cap in big, steak-like slices or by serving it whole.
