Marinated Portobello Filet Mignon - Raw

Portobello mushrooms, the Filet Mignon of veggies! This is one of the tastiest, mouth-watering mushroom recipes. It's smoky essence and rich texture create a truly "meaty" dish that should satisfy the tastebuds of any family member or friend that thinks raw is boring.

The good news - it's EASY and takes very little time to prepare, however, I opted to dehydrate the veggies while they were marinating, making them tender, and slightly crisp. While it's not required, I prefer veggies with a "roasted" or "stir-fried" consistency over hard, crunchy ones.  Plan a little extra time if you want to dehydrate this dish, (or warm in your oven on LOW).
