Grilled Shitake Mushrooms

Ingredients:

4 - 6 large shitake mushrooms* - stems trimmed and brushed
clean with a paper towel
¼ cup of fresh organic lemon juice, or juice from 2 organic
lemons
½ cup of extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves smashed (with the side of a knife) and skins
removed
3-4 anchovy fillets
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh marjoram
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

In a small food processor or blender, puree the lemon juice, olive oil and anchovies. Transfer to a bowl and stir in fresh herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Place marinade and mushrooms in a large bowl so marinade will cover the mushroom caps and marinate for at least 20 minutes and or up to 1 hour.

To Grill Mushrooms:

Place mushrooms over medium low heat on grill, gill side up. Grill mushrooms covered, until marked and softened about 10-15 minutes. Turn mushrooms and grill about 1-2 minutes (be careful as to not char the gills). Serve immediately.

*Use Portobello mushrooms if you can't find the large shitakes.
