Mushroom with Garlic and Chilli Sauce
These mushrooms smell and taste delicious, and are ideal for vegetarians at barbeques.
Preparation:
- If using wooden skewers soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using (this prevents them from burning when you cook).
- Make the dipping sauce by heating the sugar, rice vinegar and salt in a small pan, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Add the garlic and chilli, pour in a bowl and keep warm.
- Thread three mushroom halves onto each skewer. Lay the skewers side by side in a shallow dish.
- In a mortar or blender, pound or blend the garlic and coriander roots. Scrape into a bowl and mix with the sugar, soy sauce and a little pepper.
- Brush the soy sauce mixture over the mushrooms and leave to marinate for 15 minutes. Prepare the barbeque or grill and cook the mushrooms on each side.
- Serve with the dipping sauce.
Useful tip:
To prepare mushrooms, you must always remember not to wash them as they will absorb moisture and this will affect the taste and make them soggy... more
