- 1 avocado
- 1 clove garlic, pressed (divided)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 bunch cilantro
- Freshly milled black pepper
- 2 portobello mushrooms
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Remove the Portobello stems. Mix ½ clove pressed garlic with the balsamic vinegar and spoon this mixture over the Portobello caps. Set aside while you prepare the guacamole.
- Put the other ½ clove pressed garlic in a bowl with the olive oil, lime juice, and avocado. Mash with a fork.
- Remove the cilantro leaves from the stems. Wash and spin-dry the leaves. Chop finely.
- Stir the chopped cilantro into the avocado mixture. Taste, adding more lime juice if necessary.
- Bring a stovetop grill plate to high heat. Place the mushrooms on the grill for about 2 minutes per side. If you don’t have a grill plate, put them in the oven under the broiler.
- Using an ice cream scoop, form balls with the guacamole and place them on the mushrooms before serving.
