Ingredients

• 1 lb assorted wild mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• Extra chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them inside the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins.
3. Light the paper napkins and allow the fire to build for about 20 minutes until you have a hot, even heat across the flat cooktop.

Step 2: Prepare the Mushrooms

1. Clean the wild mushrooms and pat them dry with a towel.
2. In a bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Toss the mushrooms in the mixture until well coated.

Step 3: Grill the Mushrooms

1. Place the mushrooms on the flat cooktop of the Arteflame grill, closer to the center for higher heat.
2. Let them grill for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and tender.
3. Adjust their position on the cooktop to ensure even cooking without burning.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

1. Once the mushrooms are beautifully seared, drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
2. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.
3. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Tips

• Use a mix of mushrooms like chanterelles, oyster, and shiitake for a variety of textures and flavors.
• Don't overcrowd the mushrooms—this helps them caramelize instead of steaming.
• Cook the mushrooms closer to the center of the cooktop for a nice sear and finish them on the outer edges where it’s slightly cooler.

Variations

1. Spanish Chorizo & Mushrooms: Add sliced Spanish chorizo to the grill and mix with the mushrooms for a smoky, spicy twist.
2. Truffle Infused: Drizzle a small amount of truffle oil over the mushrooms after grilling for a luxurious finish.
3. Cheesy Garlic Mushrooms: Sprinkle grated Manchego cheese over the mushrooms during the last minute of grilling.
4. Smoky Paprika & Sherry: Add a splash of Spanish sherry while grilling and increase the smoked paprika for deep, rich flavor.
5. Herbed Butter Delight: Mix fresh thyme and rosemary into the butter mixture before coating the mushrooms.

These Spanish-style grilled wild mushrooms are a delicious, easy-to-make dish that brings out deep, smoky, garlic-infused flavors. Cooking them on the Arteflame grill ensures they have the perfect sear, with rich caramelization and no burning. Whether served as a side dish or a main course, this dish is sure to impress.
