Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Portobello mushrooms
Provide the main body of the dish, softening and releasing juices as they cook.
Olive oil
Conducts heat and helps the mushroom surfaces brown evenly in the pan.
Balsamic vinegar
Adds acidity that brightens the earthy flavor of the mushrooms.
Romano or parmesan cheese
Adds savory, salty flavor and a little browned richness when tossed with the warm mushrooms.

The step that matters

Cook until the juices have released and the mushrooms have browned. Mushrooms are mostly water. Cooking them over steady medium heat lets that moisture evaporate so the slices brown instead of steaming and turning soggy.
