Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cremini or button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 units Skewers (if needed)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or gently brushing away any dirt. If the mushrooms are large, slice them in half; otherwise, leave them whole.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss them gently but thoroughly, ensuring that all mushrooms are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for 20-30 minutes at room temperature for optimal flavor infusion.
If using skewers, thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each mushroom for even cooking. If not using skewers, proceed with grilling them individually.
Preheat the grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Place the mushrooms on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure they are evenly charred and cooked through. The mushrooms should develop a rich, smoky aroma and lightly caramelized edges.
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. These mushrooms pair beautifully with grilled meats, crusty bread, or a fresh salad.
