5 medium, fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed

2 portobello mushrooms, stems removed and sliced lengthwise

2 Tbs (30mL) lemon juice

1 tsp (2g) fresh ginger, minced

1 1/2 Tbs (25mL) tamari

2 Tbs (30mL) rice syrup

1 Tbs (15mL) sesame oil

2 Tbs (30mL) vegetable broth

Directions

Combine last 6 ingredients in a small jar or bowl. Pour marinade over mushrooms arranged in a single layer in a baking pan. Turn the mushrooms so both sides are coated. Marinate 1 hour, flipping mushrooms occasionally.
