Grilled Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb cremini mushrooms
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• ¼ cup fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Clean the 1.5 lb mushrooms with a damp paper towel and trim the stems. Leave small mushrooms whole, halve larger ones so they cook evenly.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir to make a herb oil.

3. 3

   Toss the mushrooms in the herb oil until well coated. Let them marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes so the flavors soak in.

4. 4

   Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. The grill is ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grate for only 3 seconds.

5. 5

   Place the mushrooms on the grill in a single layer, cut-side down. Grill without moving for 4-5 minutes, until grill marks appear and they release easily.

6. 6

   Flip the mushrooms and grill the other side for 3-4 minutes, until tender and lightly charred. They should feel springy when pressed.

7. 7

   Transfer the grilled mushrooms to a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining herb oil and sprinkle with extra parsley if desired. Serve hot.
