Using a mandolin or knife, thinly slice (less than 1/4-inch) the portobello mushrooms.  in a deep baking dish, combine the vinegar, oil, tamari, maple syrup, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt.  whisk to combine.

Gently arrange the mushroom sliced flat in the baking dish to absorb the marinade.  cover and store in the fridge for 2 hours.  remove and stir, flipping the mushrooms over to ensure all the liquid is being evenly absorbed, then re-cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. the mushrooms may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
