Portobella Mushrooms (Agaricus Bitorquis) are an extremely large,
round, firm, dark brown Mushroom. This Mushroom is the fully mature form
of the White Button Mushroom. This Mushroom measures between 5 and 8
inches in diameter with an open, flat cap. Because this Mushroom is the
elder of the species it's gills are fully exposed which means that some
of the Mushroom's moisture has evaporated. The reduced moisture creates
a dense, meaty texture and enriched flavor. This Mushroom has a
delicious mild, woodsy flavor. Poratobella are like White Button or
Champignon Mushrooms only larger and have a deeper flavor. Use the Portobella wherever you would a White Button if you want to enhance the
flavor. This Mushroom comes as a large sliced about 3--4 inches long and
1/2 - 3/4 of an inch wide.
Suggested Use:
Portobella Mushrooms are delicious and versatile. With a rich, firm
texture, they're an excellent choice for grilling or broiling. Their
savory flavor compliments steaks, chops, poultry, seafood and grilled
vegetables. Use them in stews, soups, couscous and casseroles. Marinate Portobella in red wine, garlic and herbs.
