Ingredients

• 500 grams large mushrooms (such as portobello or cremini)
• 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 30 ml fresh lemon juice
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove all dirt, then slice them into thick slices, about 1 cm each.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary sprigs (leaves only), thyme sprigs (leaves only), minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Place the marinated mushroom slices on the grill, ensuring they are evenly spread out and not overlapping.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the mushrooms to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or a delicious appetizer in your Mediterranean meal.
