Ingredients

• 1 lb Swiss wild mushrooms (such as chanterelles, porcini, or morels)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place them in the center of the Arteflame grill.
3. Stack firewood on top of the napkins.
4. Light the napkins and let the fire burn until the grill reaches cooking temperature (about 20 minutes).

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 3: Skewer the Mushrooms

1. Thread the mushrooms onto the soaked wooden skewers, keeping them slightly apart for even cooking.
2. Brush the mushrooms generously with the garlic butter.

Step 4: Grill the Mushroom Skewers

1. Place the skewers on the flat cooktop of the Arteflame grill in a medium-heat zone.
2. Grill for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
3. Brush with more garlic butter while grilling for extra flavor.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Transfer the grilled skewers to a serving plate.
2. Garnish with additional parsley and serve immediately.

Tips

• Use a mix of wild mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
• Keep the heat moderate to avoid burning the garlic in the butter.
• If using metal skewers, be careful as they retain more heat.

Variations

1. Spicy Swiss Mushrooms: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a spicy kick.
2. Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the skewers before serving for a tangy twist.
3. Cheesy Mushroom Skewers: Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the mushrooms while they are still hot.
4. Herb-Infused Mushrooms: Use rosemary and sage instead of parsley and thyme for an earthier flavor.
5. Lemon Butter Mushrooms: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the garlic butter for a bright zesty finish.

Conclusion

Grilled Swiss wild mushroom skewers are a delicious and easy dish to prepare on the Arteflame grill. Searing them on the hot cooktop locks in their natural juices and enhances their rich, earthy flavor. Perfect for both casual barbecue nights and gourmet outdoor dining.
