Ingredients

 2 cloves garlic, crushed
 ¼ tsp sea salt
 ½ tbsp lemon juice
 ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil(omit for diabetics)
 2 portobello mushrooms
 crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
 dried thyme (to taste)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

2

In a small bowl add garlic and salt. While whisking with a fork, add olive oil and lemon juice until well homogenized. Add a couple shakes of thyme and red pepper.

3

Use a spoon to remove the gills and the stem underneath the cap of the mushroom. Wash the mushrooms and pat them dry with a paper towel. Brush all sides with some of the marinade.

4

Put mushrooms on a cookie sheet caps down and bake for 15 minutes.

5

Flip around, add some more of the marinade, and poke with a fork all around so the marinade soaks in and the extra liquid comes out.

6

Continue baking, flipping caps after another 10 minutes, poke on the top, add some more marinade, and continue baking until mushrooms are tender (5-10 minutes).

7

When cooked through, take out and serve with whole wheat artisan bread, sautéed red onion (in water), arugula, and heirloom tomato slices.

8

Pour a little of the marinade over the veggies to give it an extra kick.
