Grilled Portobello Mushroom Steak
Nothing reminds me of Fall more than mushrooms: Wood Ears, Chanterelles, Criminis, Enoki, Hedgehog, Oyster, Maitaki, or Hen of the Woods. All of these, and the more wild varieties, can make me salivate. Mushrooms, when cooked properly, evoke an earthy sense, a delectable reminder of the forest, and being told as a child not to eat "those."
Living in the desert we don't have many mushrooms, but when the fall crops arrive I love to go to the market and pick out the large fan-shaped Portobello mushrooms.
