Ingredients
- 500 grams Mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F), or heat your grill to medium heat.
Step 2
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim the ends of the stems if needed.
Step 3
Cut a large piece of aluminum foil, approximately 18 inches long, and lay it flat on your work surface.
Step 4
Place the mushrooms in the center of the foil.
Step 5
Dot the mushrooms with unsalted butter, then drizzle olive oil over them for added richness.
Step 6
Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper evenly over the mushrooms.
Step 7
Fold the edges of the foil up and over the mushrooms, sealing tightly to create a pouch. Make sure the packet is tightly sealed so the steam stays inside while cooking.
Step 8
Place the foil packet on a baking sheet if cooking in the oven, or directly on the grill grates if grilling.
Step 9
Cook for 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and juicy.
Step 10
Carefully open the foil packet (watch out for the hot steam) and sprinkle chopped parsley over the mushrooms. Add a splash of lemon juice if desired for a bright finishing touch.
Step 11
Serve hot as a side dish or topping for steak, chicken, or pasta.
