Grilled Mushroom
A large portobello mushroom cap flame-grilled with a light PERi-PERi marinade for a meaty texture and rich umami flavor. The Mushroom Council states that portobello mushrooms contain more potassium than bananas and are excellent sources of selenium and copper. This hearty side features a substantial 90g (3.2oz) mushroom cap with distinctive grill marks and a juicy center that soaks up the signature PERi-PERi spices. Each mushroom is hand-selected for size and quality before being brushed with a mild garlic-infused marinade and grilled to perfection. The earthy flavors complement Nando’s chicken dishes beautifully while offering a satisfying meat alternative. Ideal for one person as a nutritious side or as part of a vegetarian meal.
