Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 grams) mushrooms (white button, baby bellas, etc.)
- ¼ cup (57 grams) butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasoning Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt (plus more for sprinkling)
Garnish Ingredients:
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Ignite the outdoor cooking surface to a moderate temperature, ensuring an even heat distribution around 350°F for optimal mushroom preparation.
- Carefully segment mushrooms into symmetrical halves or thirds, considering their individual dimensions, and transfer the sliced fungi into a spacious mixing vessel.
- Craft a luxurious aromatic sauce by blending melted butter with finely chopped garlic, incorporating complementary seasonings like salt, ground black pepper, garlic salt, and freshly chopped parsley into a harmonious mixture.
- Cascade the fragrant garlic butter concoction over the waiting mushrooms, gently manipulating the ingredients to ensure comprehensive and uniform coating.
- Position a generous sheet of heavy-duty parchment paper, strategically center the seasoned mushrooms, then meticulously fold and seal the packet using precise rolling techniques to create a secure culinary envelope.
- Carefully transfer the sealed parchment package onto the preheated grilling surface, allowing initial cooking for approximately 15 minutes, then cautiously rotate and continue grilling for an additional 10-15 minutes to achieve perfect tenderness and flavor infusion.
- Extract the packet from direct heat, permitting a brief resting period to allow flavors to settle, then elegantly present the mushrooms either within the original packaging or transfer to an attractive serving dish, finishing with a delicate sprinkle of additional garlic salt to enhance the taste profile.
Notes
- Prep mushrooms evenly to ensure consistent cooking and beautiful presentation.
- Choose fresh, firm mushrooms like cremini or portobello for maximum flavor and meaty texture.
- Adjust butter mixture by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aromatic depth.
- Consider using alternative cooking methods like oven roasting if grilling isn’t available, maintaining similar temperature and timing.
- Swap butter with olive oil for a dairy-free version that
