This is a modified recipe from the one below a few posts. I could only find the HUGE Portabello mushrooms, so I improvised a bit and we ALL LOVED the results!! I will add that you don't want to skimp and get alternate mushrooms!! The flavoring of the Portobello mushrooms is SO MUCH BETTER!! We just happened to serve this with apple juice and it enhanced the flavor SO nicely!! It reminded me of the movie Ratatouille!! I LOVE that MOVIE!! Here's the quote from IMDB.com
"Remy: [cooking a mushroom over the chimney] The key is to keep turning it to get the smoky flavor niiice and even.
Remy: [laying still, Remy reaches up and tastes food, sits up suddenly] You gotta taste this! This is... oh, it's got this kind of... mmm, it's burny, it's melty... it's not really a smoky taste. It's kind of like a certain... Pshah! It's got like this " Ba-boom! Zap!" kind of taste. Dont you think? What would you call that flavor?
Remy: Yeah! It's lightningy! We gotta do that again! Okay, when the next storm comes, we'll go up on the roof... I know what this needs! Saffron. A little saffron would make this!
