Ingredients

• 500 grams Cremini or button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 4 units Skewers (if needed)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or gently brushing away any dirt. If the mushrooms are large, slice them in half; otherwise, leave them whole.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss them gently but thoroughly, ensuring that all mushrooms are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for 20-30 minutes at room temperature for optimal flavor infusion.

Step 4

If using skewers, thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each mushroom for even cooking. If not using skewers, proceed with grilling them individually.

Step 5

Preheat the grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the mushrooms on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure they are evenly charred and cooked through. The mushrooms should develop a rich, smoky aroma and lightly caramelized edges.

Step 7

Remove the mushrooms from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. These mushrooms pair beautifully with grilled meats, crusty bread, or a fresh salad.
