Introduction

Experience the bold flavors of Sweden with these fire-grilled mushrooms infused with garlic and dill. Cooked to perfection on the Arteflame grill, these mushrooms make a fantastic appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

• 1 lb whole cremini or button mushrooms
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oil-soaked napkins.
3. Light the napkins and let the fire spread. Your grill will be ready in about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Mushrooms

1. Clean the mushrooms and trim any long stems.
2. In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, fresh dill, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
3. Toss the mushrooms in the butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 3: Grill the Mushrooms

1. Place the mushrooms directly on the flat-top cooktop near the center for a high-heat sear.
2. Allow them to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden brown, slightly crispy exterior.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

1. Move the mushrooms to a slightly cooler part of the cooktop and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
2. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with additional fresh dill.

Tips

• For an extra smoky flavor, place a few wood chips onto the fire while grilling.
• If your mushrooms release too much liquid, give them space on the griddle so they can caramelize instead of steam.
• Use a cast-iron press to help sear the mushrooms evenly.

Variations

1. Spicy Swedish Mushrooms: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
2. Sour Cream & Chive Mushrooms: Serve with a dollop of sour cream and fresh chives.
3. Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms: Drizzle with balsamic reduction for a touch of sweetness.
4. Parmesan Crusted Mushrooms: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan towards the end of grilling.
5. Mustard Herb Mushrooms: Mix in a teaspoon of whole-grain mustard for a tangy twist.
