The Method

1
In a bowl, combine the mole sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2
Place the portobello mushrooms in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the mole marinade over them. Ensure the mushrooms are well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour, in the refrigerator.
3
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
4
Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade.
5
Grill the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Adjust grilling time depending on the size of the mushrooms and the heat of your grill.
6
Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove them from the grill and place them on serving plates.
7
Top each mushroom with a generous amount of softened goat cheese.
8
Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
9
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality, authentic mole sauce.

If you don't have a grill, you can also bake the mushrooms in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.

Add a sprinkle of toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for extra crunch and flavor.

Serve with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
