GRILLED MUSHROOMS WITH PESTO
Steps:
- Slice the mushrooms in half and mix them with the oil, season with the salt and pepper. Barbecue the mushrooms until golden colour. Transfer them over to a mixing bowl and add the pesto, cut the salad in peaces. Put the salad on a plate and add the mushrooms on top. Serve with whatever you are cooking
Tips:
- Select the Right Mushrooms: Choose firm, medium-sized mushrooms with intact caps. Portobello, shiitake, and cremini mushrooms are all great options.
- Marinate the Mushrooms: Marinating the mushrooms in the pesto mixture enhances their flavor and keeps them moist during grilling.
- Grill the Mushrooms Over Medium Heat: This prevents them from burning and allows them to cook evenly.
- Baste the Mushrooms with Marinade: Basting the mushrooms with the remaining marinade during grilling adds extra flavor and keeps them from drying out.
- Serve Immediately: Grilled mushrooms are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Grilled mushrooms are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. The pesto marinade infuses the mushrooms with a rich, herbaceous flavor, while the grilling process gives them a smoky, slightly charred exterior. Whether you serve them on their own, with a dipping sauce, or as part of a larger meal, these grilled mushrooms are sure to impress.
