Ingredients
For 2 people (
)
Recipe
- 0.33 cup(s) Fresh thyme leaves, picked from stems
- 1 pinch(es) Dried chili powder
- 2 Garlic clove, peeled and finely sliced
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 6 tablespoon(s) Extra-virgin olive oil
- 4-8 Large flat field mushrooms (such as crimini, portobello or shitake)
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Baked Mushrooms Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Pound your thyme, chili and a little of the garlic in a pestle and mortar or shaker.
- Squeeze in the lemon juice and add the olive oil.
- With your hand or a brush, rub the mushrooms all over with this mixture. Make sure all the flavored oil is used up.
- Tightly pack the mushrooms together, bottom side up, in an ovenproof dish or roasting pan, and with a knife make 2-3 slits randomly over each mushroom. Insert a slice of the remaining garlic into each slit.
- Dot some olive oil over the mushrooms, season and bake for around 15-25 minutes - cooking time depends on the size of the mushrooms. Cook until they are soft, slightly colored and juicy.
- Taste one to see, continue cooking if need be. You can also use these as a topping to your favorite salad.
