@ratpoison's (Not-Poisoned) Portobello Mushrooms Recipe
Ingredients:
3 large Portobello mushrooms
1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 bottle of Worcestershire sauce
Optional: Pepperoni (Elaine’s choice is to leave this out)
Optional: A sprig of rosemary for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare Your Workspace: Set up a safe cooking area, preferably with a grill.
Make the Marinade:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the brown sugar until it begins to dissolve, creating a rich, gooey mixture.
Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and stir until the ingredients are well combined.
If using pepperoni, add it to the marinade. Elaine suggests trying it without.
Marinate the Mushrooms:
Place the Portobello mushrooms gill side up on a tray.
Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are fully coated.
Let the mushrooms sit in the marinade for about an hour.
Grill the Mushrooms:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the mushrooms, gill side up, for about 10 minutes or until they start to smell fragrant.
Flip the mushrooms and grill for an additional 3 minutes on the other side.
Serve:
Garnish with a sprig of rosemary if available.
Enjoy the savory-sweet goodness of the "Not-Poisoned Portobello Mushrooms."
Tips and Variations:
Foraging: If you're up for an adventure, try foraging for rosemary or other fresh herbs in the area. It adds a delightful touch to the dish.
Survival Tip: Elaine reminds us that even in a post-apocalyptic world, creativity in the kitchen can bring a sense of normalcy and joy.
