Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Large button mushrooms
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers (if grilling whole mushrooms)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. If desired, trim the stems for a uniform appearance.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you preheat the BBQ.
Preheat the BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
If grilling whole mushrooms, thread them onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are secure and spaced slightly apart. For sliced mushrooms, use a grill basket to prevent them from falling through the grates.
Place the mushrooms on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or main course.
