Roasted baby portobello mushrooms tossed with capers and onions in a deliciously seasoned tomato sauce. An easy mushroom recipe that makes a tasty side dish!
I made you a side dish and it’s really, really good! I promise!
But first, HEEEEY! How are you? How was your weekend? I’d rate mine at about a 3, given the circumstances – read about THAT here – but at least I got to unwind and watch some reality trash TV for 5 hours straight. It keeps things off your mind, ya know?
Also? Happy start to the week! Fingers crossed, we won’t be seeing any snow or below freezing temps like last week.
In food news, there is a great reason that I’m telling you about mushrooms today. I figured that I should probably stop talking about asparagus by now since I haven’t be able to, you know, shut the heck up about them. Thus, I decided to go with mushrooms and onions, instead.
But I made these ‘shrooms and we LOVED ‘EM. Like loved ’em-loved ’em. It was a nice change of pace. Occasionally we get in a rut of only asparagus, broccoli, or brussels sprouts and this was a welcome change.
There are two key components to making these killer Roasted Italian Mushrooms:
- STAR’s Olive Oil with Roasted Garlic
- STAR’s Capers
I mean, can you think of anything more flavorful than olive oil infused WITH garlic!? That’s just it; you can’t. STAR, in collaboration with Chef Ferran Adrià, carries a range of infused olive oils that are completely natural and original, allowing you to enhance the flavor of all your favorite dishes.
Then there’s the capers. You might disagree, but I think there are a handful of ingredients that can really add life to a dish: lemon, garlic, olives and capers. Olive oil and vinegar, too.
Capers, with their distinctive sharp flavor, are the perfect ingredient to add to marinades and sauces, as I did here. However, all I really wanted to do is stick my hand in the jar and eat ’em up, but I have people to feed, so…
This recipe is super easy to make. We’re just going to toss the mushrooms in the roasted garlic olive oil ➡ roast them ➡ prepare the tomato sauce with onions, capers and some lemon peel ➡ toss the mushrooms with the prepared sauce ➡ and TAH-DAHM! You really can’t go wrong with this.
ENJOY!

Italian Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 1 pound whole baby portobello mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, (I use STAR Olive Oil with Roasted Garlic)
- salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup tomato/pasta sauce
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon capers, (I like the ones from STAR)
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon rind
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
- Season the mushrooms. In a mixing bowl, combine mushrooms, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast. Transfer the mushrooms to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender and browned.
- Make the sauce. In the meantime, combine tomato sauce, onions, capers, and lemon rind in a microwave-safe cup or bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds or until thoroughly heated.
- Put it all together. Remove mushrooms from oven and let stand a few minutes. Afterward, toss the mushrooms with the prepared sauce. Garnish with parsley, and serve right away.
