Portobello mushrooms vary in size so look for small ones that will give you eight to a pound (500 g). If unavailable, you can quarter larger ones after grilling if desired. Use a potato peeler to shave off curls of cheese.

Quarter red onion, thinly sliced
2 oz (60 g) Parmesan or Asiago cheese, shaved

1/2 cup (125 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
