Portobello Piccata
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushrooms
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Slice the mushrooms into 1/2 inch thick pieces.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Dredge the mushroom slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushroom slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the unsalted butter until melted and well combined with the sauce.
- Return the cooked mushroom slices to the skillet, coating them with the lemon-caper sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the mushrooms through.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve the portobello piccata hot, with a side of pasta or crusty bread.
