Portobellos with watercress

Yield: 4 servings

Measure Ingredient
½ cup Watercress
\N \N Stems removed
1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
¼ cup Olive oil
2 larges Portobello caps
\N \N Cleaned, stems removed
\N \N Sliced 1/2\" thick
\N \N Salt
\N \N Mixed green salad (opt)

Note: If you want to saute the portobello stems, slice them lengthwise into quarters; saute them for a minute before adding the caps because they are firmer and take longer to cook.

Combine the watercress, ¼ cup water, and the vinegar in a blender and blend until you have a puree. Transfer to a large saute pan along with the oil and begin to warm over medium heat. Add the mushroom caps. Lightly salt the mushrooms, and cover with a loose-fitting lid.

Braise for 3 min. Remove the lid and season to taste. Serve alone or in a salad with mixed greens.
