Rosemary skewers of chargrilled sherry-scented mushrooms

This is a simple dish using button mushrooms. They take up more flavour from the rosemary if they’re skewered a few hours or even a day ahead.

  • difficulty Easy level

Ingredients

  • 300 g button mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp dry sherry
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tbsp oregano leaves, chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra, to serve
  • 12 rosemary skewers, about 10cm long, from the tough part of a rosemary plant, most leaves trimmed
  • lemon juice, to serve

Sitting time 30 minutes

The dish is designed to be part of a banquet or shared meal.

Instructions

Place the mushrooms in a large bowl and drizzle with sherry. Add garlic, oregano, 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt, and toss to combine. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.

Pierce each mushroom with a rosemary skewer. Thread the mushrooms onto the skewers so there are about 3 or 4 on each, depending on the size.

Heat a chargrill to high and cook the mushrooms for 2 minutes each side or until scorched. Grind some pepper over the top and serve warm, with a drizzle of extra olive oil and lemon juice squeezed over the top.
