Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large king oyster mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Prepare the king oyster mushrooms by cutting off the caps and using a fork to shred the stems lightly, creating a 'lobster tail' texture.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together.
Coat the mushroom pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
While the mushrooms marinate, prepare the garlic herb butter by melting the vegan butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the garlic butter mixture, along with the nutritional yeast and lemon zest. Mix well and remove from heat.
Grill the marinated mushrooms for 5-7 minutes on each side, until they develop a nice char and are tender.
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and immediately brush with the garlic herb butter.
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve hot.
