Change Measurements: US | Metric

Directions:

Prep Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 15 mins

1. 1 Place mushrooms on three pieces of foil stacked together and crumple sides to make a 'pan' that will hold the juices. You can use a metal pan underneath for added stability.
2. 2 Grate rind from lemon on top of mushrooms.
3. 3 Squeeze juice from lemon and add to 'pan'.
4. 4 Add remaining ingredients.
5. 5 Leave 'pan' open on top and grill until tender, 6-8 minutes.
6. 6 These can also be baked or broiled in oven until tender or cooked in a saucepan on top of stove.
7. 7 I usually 'baste' the juices over the mushrooms every so often but it does not seem to affect the outcome if you do not.
