Avocado Chimichurri with Portobello Steaks

Avocado Chimichurri by Luke Hines
  • Serves: 4

  •       

Ingredients

4 large portobello mushrooms, stalks removed
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ tsp smoked paprika
3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
Avocado Chimichurri
2 Shepard avocados, diced. The firm flesh of a Shepard avocado lends itself to holding together well when diced.
½ bunch of flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
¼ red onion, finely diced
½ tsp chilli flakes
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
zest and juice of 2 lemons

Method

1

Arrange the mushrooms in a shallow dish. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, oil, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic in a bowl, then pour over the mushrooms. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes, turning the mushrooms halfway through to ensure they are evenly coated in the marinade.

2

Meanwhile, prepare the chimichurri. Add the parsley, garlic, onion, chilli flakes, oil, salt, pepper and lemon zest and juice to a bowl and whisk well. Add the avocado and toss to combine. Set aside.

3

Heat a barbecue grill plate or a large chargrill pan to medium–hot.

4

Transfer the mushrooms to the barbecue or pan and cook for 4–6 minutes, turning halfway through and brushing over any remaining marinade as you go, until they are caramelised and a deep golden brown.

5

To serve, divide the mushrooms among plates and top with the avocado chimichurri.
