DanCole42 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 This week I was going to do a grilled flat iron with a side of mushroom-something. I picked up some white buttons and some pretentious-looking mushrooms that started with a "p." Instead, I'll be grilling the flat irons for use in picnic sandwiches. Can anyone recommend any picnic-friendly uses for my mushrooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 There's a recipe in the Two Fat Ladies cookbook that calls for hollowing a loaf of bread and stuffing it with steak and grilled mushrooms. If you're interested I could try to find the recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyy Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Cook's Illustrated has a terrific recipe for marinated mushrooms. I skip the red pepper and shallot and use dried herbs, but only because I usually make these on a whim and don't have those around. I also like to crumble in some goat cheese at the end. Yummy. Marinated Mushrooms Skillet size limits the yield of this recipe; if you would like to double it, cook the mushrooms in two separate batches but marinate them together. Thyme, parsley, or basil makes a good last-minute addition--use only one, however, not all three. Makes about 3 1/2 Cups of marinade. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon for finishingv 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes table salt 1 pound cremini mushroom or white buttom mushrooms, cleaned, left whole if small, halved if medium, quartered if large 2 teaspoons lemon juice from 1 lemon, plus 1 tablespoon for finishing 1 medium clove of garlic, sliced very thin 1 large shallot, chopped fine (about 1/4 cup) 1/4 small red bell pepper, chopped fine (about 1/4 cup) 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or basil ground black pepper 1. Heat 3 tablespoons oil, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add mushrooms and 2 tablespoons lemon juice; cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms release moisture, moisture evaporates, and mushrooms have browned around edges, about 10 minutes. Spread mushrooms in single layer on large plate or rimmed baking sheet; cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. When cooled, transfer mushrooms to medium bowl, leaving behind any juices. Stir garlic, shallot, and bell pepper into mushrooms, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 6 or up to 24 hours. 2. Before serving, allow mushrooms to stand at room temperature about 1 hour. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and thyme and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper just before serving.

yeuxblu Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I love a grilled portabello with the gils (no clue what the real name is for the underside of a shroom) scooped out and rep-laced with pesto and feta. It's simple but one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
