Spice up your grill: Irresistible chilli-marinated mushrooms
When I make pork neck on the grill, I don't serve it with chicken skewers. Instead, I prepare a vegetable side dish on skewers that pairs perfectly with the meat. Mushrooms in a spicy marinade are always the biggest hit. They are so delicious that some people enjoy them as a standalone snack.
When planning grill dishes, it's worth considering not only what to put on the grill but also cold side dishes that will complete the meal. A potato salad with a delicious yogurt sauce fits this role perfectly. You can add hard-boiled eggs and crunchy vegetables to ensure full nutritional value during a family gathering.
Fill larger caps with a delicious stuffing
Use the spicy marinade not only for preparing neat small additions to meat. Coat larger caps in it and separately prepare a delicious stuffing to fill them to the brim. Inside, you can add sautéed spinach, feta cheese, tofu, as well as tomatoes and mozzarella. If there are any guests who do not eat meat, mushrooms with caprese can save your reputation.
Chilli sauce mushrooms for the grill
It's worth thinking about mushrooms for the grill a day in advance. If they marinate in the refrigerator overnight, they will be juicier and more intense in flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons chilli sauce, such as sambal oelek, sriracha, or tabasco
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- Parsley or cilantro
Instructions:
- Wash the mushrooms under a gentle stream of water, then dry them with a paper towel. If they are very large, cut them in half.
- In a large bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil with the spicy chilli sauce. Add a teaspoon of rice vinegar or lime juice, a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, and crushed garlic. Thoroughly coat the mushrooms in the prepared marinade.
- Cover with a lid and leave for at least 30 minutes.
- Skewer the chilli sauce-coated mushrooms or place them on a metal grilling tray.
- Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning and basting with the remaining marinade in the bowl.
- Sprinkle the hot mushrooms with chopped parsley or cilantro after grilling.
