Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large mushrooms (such as portobello or cremini)
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove all dirt, then slice them into thick slices, about 1 cm each.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary sprigs (leaves only), thyme sprigs (leaves only), minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Add the mushroom slices to the bowl and toss until all the mushrooms are evenly coated with the marinade. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 15 minutes while preheating the grill.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the marinated mushroom slices on the grill, ensuring they are evenly spread out and not overlapping.
Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are tender and have beautiful grill marks.
Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish or a delicious appetizer in your Mediterranean meal.
