Ingredients
- 600 g button mushrooms (halved)
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 handful thyme (stemmed)
- 3 cloves garlic (peeled)
- 40 ml lemon juice (juice and zest of 1 lemon)
- 2 tbsp truffle oil
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Get a BBQ or a griddle pan up to a high heat.
- Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water.
- Using a stick blender, blitz the the olive oil, thyme, garlic, lemon zest and juice and salt and pepper in a narrow jar
- Pour three quarters of the marinade over the mushrooms and mix them well. Once they have sucked up the marinade, skewer them on the bamboo skewers.
- Mix the remaining marinade with the truffle oil and keep a basting brush handy
- Now, grill the skewers over direct heat on the BBQ or on the griddle pan. Aim for 3 minutes on each side so they end up tender with some good caramelisation.
- Give them one final basting of the remaining marinade with a basting brush and move them to a serving dish
- Splash them with whatever marinade is left and a lots of salt and serve immediately.
