Ingredients
- 16 oz assorted mushrooms (portobello, cremini, shiitake)
- 8 oz fresh chanterelle mushrooms
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill
- Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
- Stack firewood on top of the soaked napkins.
- Light the paper and let the fire build. Allow about 20 minutes for the grill to reach optimal cooking temperature.
Step 2: Prepare the mushrooms
- Clean and trim the assorted mushrooms.
- Toss them with a tablespoon of melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Grill the mushrooms
- Place the mushrooms on the flat cooktop griddle, positioning them closer to the center for a stronger sear.
- Let them cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
Step 4: Make the chanterelle butter sauce
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the griddle.
- Sauté the chanterelle mushrooms along with garlic, shallots, and thyme for 4-5 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Add the final tablespoon of butter and let it melt into a luscious sauce.
Step 5: Serve and garnish
- Drizzle the chanterelle butter over the grilled mushrooms.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Tips
- Grilling mushrooms directly on the Arteflame flat top helps caramelize them for enhanced flavor.
- Use hotter sections of the cooktop to sear quickly while transitioning to cooler areas to prevent burning.
- Always remove meats and mushrooms when they are slightly under your desired doneness, as they continue cooking off the grill.
Variations
- Swedish Herb Blend: Add a mix of dill and juniper berries to the butter sauce for a Nordic twist.
- Spicy Garlic Butter: Infuse the butter sauce with chili flakes and extra garlic for a fiery kick.
- Cheesy Delight: Finish the mushrooms with crumbled blue cheese for extra richness.
- Truffle Infused: Drizzle truffle oil over the mushrooms for an elegant touch.
- Roasted Nuts Crunch: Add toasted almonds or walnuts for a delightful crunch.

These Swedish-inspired grilled mushrooms with chanterelle butter are a surefire way to impress your guests. Every bite bursts with umami flavors and delicate butter richness. Whether served as a main dish or a side, this Arteflame-grilled masterpiece is bound to be a favorite.
