Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a succulent mushroom, its earthy flavor intensified by a vibrant marinade. These marinated mushroom wedges offer a delightful culinary experience, transforming simple fungi into a star dish. We begin with hearty mushrooms, carefully sliced into substantial wedges that are perfect for soaking up all the delicious flavors.

The magic truly happens with the marinade, a luscious blend of sun-dried tomatoes, fragrant herbs, and savory garlic. The sun-dried tomatoes, with their concentrated sweetness and tangy zest, form the base of this flavor explosion. Olive oil binds the ingredients together, creating a rich, emulsified sauce that clings beautifully to the mushrooms.

The mushrooms luxuriate in this flavorful bath, absorbing the complex notes of the marinade, ensuring that each bite is bursting with taste. Once the mushrooms have had ample time to absorb the flavors, they are ready for the griddle. The hot surface sears the exterior, creating a delightful caramelized crust that adds a touch of smoky sweetness.

The insides become tender and yielding, offering a pleasing contrast in textures. As they cook, the aroma fills the air, a tantalizing invitation to indulge. These marinated and griddled mushroom wedges are incredibly versatile.

They make an excellent side dish, complementing grilled chicken, seared steak, or roasted vegetables. You can also serve them as a vegetarian main course, perhaps alongside a fresh salad or a bed of quinoa. They are equally delicious served hot off the griddle or at room temperature, making them perfect for picnics and potlucks.

Garnish them with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra touch of elegance. Their rich umami flavor and satisfying texture make them a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, appealing to both mushroom lovers and those who are new to the fungi experience. Elevate your next meal with these simple yet sophisticated mushroom wedges and experience a burst of Mediterranean sunshine in every bite.

Instructions

    1.
    To prepare the pesto, add the basil to a food processor along with the garlic, lemon zest, pine nuts, Parmesan and sundried tomatoes. Blend to form a chunky paste.
    2.
    Add four tablespoons of olive oil and season to taste. Blend until you have a pesto sauce.
    3.
    Slice the mushrooms into wedges about 1/2 inch thick. Add to a mixing bowl with the lemon juice.
    4.
    Add 3 tablespoons of the pesto and use your hands to rub the dressing all over the mushrooms. Set aside for 10 minutes.
    5.
    Heat a griddle pan with the remaining olive oil over a medium/high heat. Add the mushroom wedges to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes each side until tender and caramelized. You may need to do this in batches. Serve with any remaining pesto.
