Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with Pea Sprouts
- 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 pound fresh pea sprouts (or other accessible sprouts)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound Cacio di Roma, or other semi-soft sheep's milk cheese
- 4 domestic mushrooms
- Special Equipment: Truffle slicer or small mandolin
- Preheat grill or broiler.
- Drizzle the portobello mushrooms with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Place the mushrooms on the grill so that they are centered near the heat.
- Grill until soft and nicely cooked, and barely charred, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Sprinkle some lemon juice on the mushrooms after they have been charred and splash them with red wine vinegar.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the pea sprouts, olive oil, and remaining lemon juice, so that the sprouts are evenly coated in the liquid.
- Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and divide among 4 plates.
- For a nice effect, stack the sprouts like little hay stacks.
- Using a peeler, shave cheese over and around salad.
- Using the mandolin, slice the domestic mushrooms in paper thin slices over and around the salad.
- Place the portobellos on each haystack and serve.
