Ingredients
 

  • 16 ounces (450 g) baby bella mushrooms (brown mushrooms)

For the marinade

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons tamari sub gluten-free soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ bunch (20 g) fresh parsley divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the mushrooms. Remove any dirt off the mushrooms with a soft brush, clean cloth, or paper towel. Cut them in half.
  • Make the marinade. Wash the parsley and remove the thick stems. Chop it very finely with a chef’s knife or use a food chopper. Mince the garlic (I like using a garlic press). In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil with the tamari, garlic, parsley, and pepper. Add in the mushrooms and mix with your hands until well coated. Let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to grilling or overnight.
  • Make the skewers. Prick the mushroom caps (not stems) onto metal skewers (or pre-soaked wooden skewers). I like to add a small piece of cork (from a wine cork) at the end as a skewer stopper.
  • To cook them on the grill. Preheat the grill to 400-475°F (200-250°C) with the griddle insert if you have one. Place the skewers on the griddle of your grill or on an aluminum foil tray to prevent the mushrooms from being in direct contact with the flame. Keep the burners at medium-high heat and close the lid. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip the skewers with tongs and grill for another 5-7 minutes or until tender. Try to keep the grill at least at 400°F (200°C) the whole time.
  • To cook them in a cast-iron grill pan. Preheat your pan over medium heat until hot. Then, brush it with oil and increase heat to medium-high. Place the mushroom skewers cut side down in the pan and press them flat with a spatula to obtain nice grill marks. Cook for 2 minutes over medium-high. Flip the skewers, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook them for another 5 minutes (or more depending on their size).
  • Serve. Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with the rest of the marinade and top with more parsley.

Notes

  1. Don't marinate the mushrooms for more than 24 hours or they will loose their firm texture.
  2. Let the mushrooms rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop fully and the juices to redistribute.
  3. Storage: You can store leftover grilled mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
