OK.. here's mine:

Portobello Marinade



4 Portobello Mushrooms

1 cup canola oil

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 Tbs minced garlic

1 Tbs minced shallot

2 Tbs chopped Thyme

Pinch of Salt & Pepper



Cut the stems of the Portobello mushrooms off so that the caps are flat. Mix
all ingredients together and pour over Portobello mushrooms and the stems.
Let marinate for at least 1 hour. Place in a roasting pan with a rack and
bake at 300 degrees for 55 min to 1 hour.
