This is an awesome vegetarian option. What I really love about portobello is their fat and meaty taste. You can find them small, sliced, “portobello” or “portobella”, whatever you call them… They are absolutely delicious: flavorful and delicates.
To add some texture to this dish I added wild rice which has a chewy outer sheath with a tender inner grain similar to a vegetable taste. Wild rice is actually a grain: the seed of wheat grass. It is full of nutriment and even if high in carbs, it is the best rice option with brown rice (definitely better than white rice!).
If you are looking for a nice presentation of a side dishes….This is it! But this dish can be served as an appetizers as well as various combinaison also: with quinoa, israeli couscous…
