Ingredients

• 1 lb whole mushrooms (button or cremini)
• 3 tbsp butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up your Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place them in the center of the grill and stack firewood on top.
3. Light the napkins and let the fire burn for about 20 minutes until the cooktop reaches the optimal temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the marinade

1. In a bowl, mix butter, garlic, parsley, dill, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and lemon juice.
2. Add the mushrooms and toss until fully coated.
3. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 3: Grill the mushrooms

1. Place the mushrooms on the flat cooktop near the hotter center zone.
2. Let them sizzle for about 5 minutes, flipping occasionally.
3. Once golden brown and slightly charred, move them to a cooler zone to finish cooking for another 5 minutes.

Step 4: Serve and enjoy

1. Remove the mushrooms from the grill and serve hot.
2. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Tips

• Use a mix of mushrooms for different textures and flavors.
• For extra smokiness, grill with a piece of wood for added aroma.
• Do not overcrowd the mushrooms; give them space to sear properly.

Variations

1. Spicy variation: Add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes to the marinade for a bit of heat.
2. Cheesy variation: Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the mushrooms while they cook.
3. Balsamic glaze variation: Drizzle balsamic vinegar over them just before serving.
4. Smoky paprika variation: Double the smoked paprika for a deep smoky flavor.
5. Garlic butter variation: Add an extra tablespoon of butter and a bit more garlic for an ultra-rich taste.
