If you have been following me for a while, you probably know that from time to time I like to cook vegetarian dishes for the wanna be vegetarian husband and yesterday we were invited to a vegetarian lunch and I thought to bring these delicious portobello mushrooms marinated in a pasilla adobo and then charred on a grilled pan.
They were a hit with everybody. The recipe for the adobo is in a previous post.
Let me know if you like this recipe, remember that your feedback is very important to me.

To cook the Portobello mushrooms
