Grilled oyster mushrooms

A quick, lovely side. I usually bread these like Milanese cutlets, but grilled is delicious too.

INGREDIENTS

OYSTER MUSHROOMS

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

GARLIC

PARSLEY

SALT

PEPPER

I clean without washing to avoid excess water absorption and remove stalks.

I wipe tops with damp paper.

Then gently underneath.

I heat griddle and add mushrooms.

I cook one side and turn.

I chop grilled mushrooms on a board into a bowl.

I make sauce with chopped parsley, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic.

For milder garlic, I make cream and refrigerate in a jar.

GARLIC CREAM

10 GARLIC CLOVES

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

I peel garlic, remove germs, cover in water in a saucepan, boil, drain and discard water, then cover with fresh water and boil again.

I repeat 3 times, drain and blend with extra virgin olive oil until smooth and thick. Garlic flavour remains but is less strong.
