Roasted Mushrooms

Funghi Arrostiti

Porcini or field mushrooms marinated in oil, garlic, and parsley, then grilled or roasted.

Easy

Roasted mushrooms are a basic dish, perfect for a rustic appetizer or a flavorful side dish. This recipe highlights the fleshy caps with a simple dressing, where extra virgin olive oil softens the surface while garlic and parsley add aroma and character. Grilling develops toasted notes and concentrates the mushrooms' aroma, maintaining a juicy texture if the heat is kept low. The caps can be prepared with porcini or button mushrooms, depending on availability, while the stems are saved for a risotto. Alternatively, grilled over embers, cooking can take place under the broiler from the oven. This dish is part of the Italian gastronomic tradition.

1

Clean the mushrooms

Clean the mushrooms thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel Moisturize them, without immersing them in water, to remove any residue while maintaining their consistency. Separate the caps from the stems and set the stems aside: they won't be used to cook the caps, but they can be used to make risotto.

2

Prepare the sauce

Pour some into a bowl tablespoons of the recommended extra virgin olive oil and add salt and pepper. Finely chop the garlic and parsley, add them to the oil, and stir until smooth, with the herbs distributed throughout the liquid.

3

Season the caps

Dip the caps in the aromatic sauce and gently turn them over, coating their surfaces with oil, garlic, and parsley. Let them marinate for a few hours: they should be well-seasoned and fragrant, with no dry spots on the surface.

4

Heat the grill

Heat the grill before adding the mushrooms and prepare a moderate heat. The heat should be sufficient to gradually cook the mushrooms, preventing the oil and herbs clinging to the surface from browning too quickly or burning.

5

Roast the mushrooms

Arrange the caps on the hot grill and cook them over moderate heat, turning them when the surface is well-browned. Continue cooking until the caps are tender inside, hot and fragrant, with a lightly browned surface and no charred spots. Alternatively, cook them under the broiler of the usual oven.

Chef's Tips

The editorial staff recommends cooking the caps over medium heat, so that the inside softens without burning the garlic and parsley in the marinade.
