Portobellos with watercress

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Watercress
Stems removed
1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
¼ cup Olive oil
2 larges Portobello caps
Cleaned, stems removed
Sliced 1/2\" thick
Salt
Mixed green salad (opt)

Directions

Note: If you want to saute the portobello stems, slice them lengthwise into quarters; saute them for a minute before adding the caps because they are firmer and take longer to cook.

Combine the watercress, ¼ cup water, and the vinegar in a blender and blend until you have a puree. Transfer to a large saute pan along with the oil and begin to warm over medium heat. Add the mushroom caps. Lightly salt the mushrooms, and cover with a loose-fitting lid.

Braise for 3 min. Remove the lid and season to taste. Serve alone or in a salad with mixed greens.
