The portobello mushroom is one of the most widely consumed mushroom varieties in the world. The button mushroom and cremini are the same variety of mushroom, just earlier growth stages than the portobello. The portobello is the oldest stage, so it has the most meaty and savory flavor. Portobello mushrooms taste intensely meaty and savory, with loads of umami. While they taste meaty, you do need to add protein if this is your main course. I added chickpeas and pine nuts for added protein. This combined with sautéed greens makes a delightful dish.
