Ingredients

6-8 Whole Portobello Mushrooms

3/4 Cup of Butter or Margerine

1/2 Tsp of Garlic (Granulated works best)

1/2 Tsp of Onion (Granulated works best)

1    Tbsp of Lemon Juice 

      Salt and Pepper to Taste

Preparation

• Preheat grill to 400 degrees celcius.
• Dampen a cloth or paper towel and gently clean the mushrooms.  Using a cloth helps the mushrooms avoid absorbing unnecessary liquid (And yes mushrooms should always be cleaned otherwise they can be gritty).
• Melt the butter and add the garlic, onion, juice, salt and pepper (If you're using fresh garlic and onion, it is ideal to let the butter sit a while to incorporate all the flavours).  Brush the mushrooms with the butter mixture and place on the grill.
• Cook the mushrooms four to five minutes on each side and serve.
• Enjoy!
