Ingredients

• 8 pieces Large oyster mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons Salted butter, softened
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to prepare it for grilling the mushrooms.

Step 2

Clean the oyster mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim the mushroom stems slightly to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients well to form a uniform compound butter.

Step 4

Brush both sides of the oyster mushrooms lightly with vegetable oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill.

Step 5

Place the mushrooms on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have beautiful grill marks.

Step 6

Transfer the grilled mushrooms to a serving platter, cap side up.

Step 7

While the mushrooms are still hot, spoon the herbed butter generously over each mushroom cap, allowing it to melt and infuse the mushrooms with flavor.

Step 8

For an added touch of richness and texture, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a delicious starter or side dish, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
