  • 7 portobello mushrooms , cleaned
  • Extra-virgin olive oil to cover
  • 12 garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbsp. paprika
  • 2 Tbsp. Celtic sea salt

To make the Portobello Fillets: Place the mushrooms in a hotel pan or large metal roasting pan. Cover with olive oil and add the garlic cloves.

To make the Avocado Cream: Combine all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.

To assemble: Garnish the Portobello Fillets with the Avocado Cream and serve.
