Ingredients

• 400 grams Button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 2

Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems if necessary.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, tahini, soy sauce, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the marinade and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes for enhanced flavor.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

Thread the marinated mushrooms onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill (or oven) and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred.

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the satay mushrooms to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately, and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Satay Mushrooms as a delicious appetizer or light main course.
