Ingredients:
- 4 King Oyster mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- 2 garlic cloves, halved and crushed
- Salt and pepper
Chimichurri sauce:
- Half a small purple onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup of parsley and cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 crushed garlic clove
- Half a hot green pepper, finely chopped
- Grated zest of one lemon
- 2 tablespoons of vinegar
- Half a cup of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Method:
Heat the olive oil, rosemary and garlic in a large skillet over a low heat for about 2 minutes. Remove the garlic.
Cut about 2cm from the base of each mushroom, cut in half and make criss-cross cuts 1/2 cm deep on the internal surfaces. Season with salt and pepper.
Reheat the spiced oil over a low heat and place the mushrooms in the pan cut side down. Cover with a heavy flat plate to flatten the mushrooms and ensure they are well charred. Fry for about 10 minutes. Remove the plate and turn the mushrooms over; fry for another 5 minutes.
Mix all the chimichurri ingredients.
Serve the mushrooms with the chimichurri on the side, and your favorite accompaniments.
Bon appétit!
