Pro Tips
- Don't wash mushrooms under running water — they absorb moisture like sponges.
- Portobello caps are the best for BBQ — they hold up and have great flavour.
- Grill smaller mushrooms on a skewer or in foil to prevent falling through grates.
- A touch of balsamic vinegar at the end adds excellent depth.
Resting Time
Rest for 2 minutes after removing from the BBQ. This allows juices to redistribute for a juicier result.
