 3 tbsp Colavita Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 ¼ cup Colavita Balsamic Vinegar
 1 tbsp dried oregano
 1 healthy pinch each salt and black pepper
For Serving:

1

Place the mushrooms in a large rimmed dish or baking sheet.

2

Combine the Colavita Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive oil, Colavita Balsamic Vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

3

Whisk to combine, then pour over the mushrooms and use a pastry brush to distribute the marinade, flipping the mushrooms over to ensure they are coated on both sides.

4

Allow the mushrooms to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

6

Once hot, add the portobello mushrooms to the skillet, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Grill in batches if you must.

7

Sauté for about 3-6 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are deep golden brown on the edges and softened.

8

While cooking, brush with any leftover marinade for extra flavor.

9

Once cooked, remove from the pan.
