Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Large oyster mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons Salted butter, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to prepare it for grilling the mushrooms.
Clean the oyster mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim the mushroom stems slightly to ensure they cook evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients well to form a uniform compound butter.
Brush both sides of the oyster mushrooms lightly with vegetable oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill.
Place the mushrooms on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have beautiful grill marks.
Transfer the grilled mushrooms to a serving platter, cap side up.
While the mushrooms are still hot, spoon the herbed butter generously over each mushroom cap, allowing it to melt and infuse the mushrooms with flavor.
For an added touch of richness and texture, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms if desired.
Serve immediately as a delicious starter or side dish, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
