From The Washington Post

[Guest guest]

I linked to the Washington Post Online from another site and now lost

the URL but I'm sure you could search The Washington Post and then find

their food section. This recipe is from an article on grilling and

salads by Michele Scicolone, a famous cookbook author.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

***FOR THE MUSHROOMS***

4 large portobello mushrooms -- stems removed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

***FOR THE SALAD***

8 ounces spinach leaves -- washed and spun dry

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

1/3 cup toasted pecans -- coarsely chopped

Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese -- for garnish

 

For the mushrooms: Preheat the grill or broiler. Wipe the mushrooms

with damp paper towels and set aside.

 

Combine the soy sauce, lemon juice and oil. Brush the mixture over the

rounded top sides of the mushrooms. Grill or broil (with the rounded

top sides facing the heat) until brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the

mushrooms and brush the gill sides with the remaining liquid. Grill or

broil (gill-sides up) until tender, about 4 minutes.

 

For the salad: Remove the stems from the spinach leaves. In a small

bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.

Add the dressing to the salad and toss well. Add the pecans and toss

again.

 

To assemble: Arrange the mushrooms on 4 plates. Pile the salad on top.

With a swivel-blade vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of the cheese

over the salad. Serve immediately.
