Grilled Shiitake Mushrooms

INGREDIENTS

• 4 ounces Modern shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed
  (about 1-1/2 cups)
  
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/4 cup Parmesan shavings or 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan

INSTRUCTIONS

If you don’t have a vegetable grilling rack, you can thread the mushrooms on skewers for easy outdoor grilling. Place several on each skewer. Great as an appetizer.

Preheat rack for outdoor grill or broiler. Lightly brush both sides of shiitakes with olive oil. Place mushrooms, round side up, on vegetable grill rack or in broiler pan; sprinkle with salt and top with cheese. Cook until shiitakes are hot and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Yield: 6 to 8 mushrooms
