Best thing about summer are the BBQ and cocktail parties! When both come together it’s even better! But don’t bring yourself in a difficult position by serving loads of meat before you start the Main course! It’s a pitty if your guests are fullfilled when you bring the star piece. These Marinated Grilled Mushrooms are a great alternative. And they are one of my favorites! So take a quick look!

Marinated Grilled Mushrooms
Marinated Mushrooms are my favorite apetizer! If you had told me as a child I would have declared you insane. But now I would eat them every day! They are perfect for BBQ parties since they are perfect to make ahead. You can store them for a while. They even get better after a couple of days. Don’t forget to grill some lemon too! This “Sneaky Bastard Cocktail” needs to shine on your party!
Grilling the Mushrooms
I suggest you make the marinated grilled mushrooms a couple of days ahead of your party. Just put a sief with chopped mushrooms on the grill while you’re preparing a piece of meat. They don’t take much space nor time to prepare. Why using a sief? It’s a cheap option to make sure the mushrooms don’t slip through the grates. Yet you don’t loose the smokey taste! For these mushrooms I put some vines on my Napoleon gas grill (Read more about it here) while making a Southern vegetable breadpudding! Interested in that recipe? Stay tuned it’s coming soon!
