Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons Peanut butter (smooth, sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 pieces Skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes prior)
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. If they're too large, halve or quarter them to ensure even cooking. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, fresh lime juice, ground coriander, ground cumin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the mushrooms to the bowl with the marinade and toss well to coat each piece. Cover the bowl and let the mushrooms marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour, allowing the flavors to develop.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush lightly with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated mushrooms onto the skewers, distributing them evenly. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
Place the skewered mushrooms on the hot grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the mushrooms are nicely charred and tender, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade for added flavor.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grilled mushrooms with fresh cilantro and a light pinch of salt before serving.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or a main dish accompanied by your favorite low-carb sides.
