Mexican Mushroom Mixed Grill
Recipe courtesy of the Mushroom Council.

Recipe Ingredients:
1 pound fresh white or crimini mushrooms
2 jalapeño peppers, halved lengthwise, seeds removed
2 medium tomatoes, thickly sliced
1 large onion, peeled and cut in wedges

Basting Sauce:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice

Cooking Directions:
1 - Preheat grill or broiler.
2 - Trim mushroom stem ends; cut mushrooms lengthwise in halves. Taking care not to break caps, thread mushrooms lengthwise on skewers.
3 - For Basting Sauce: In a small bowl, combine oil, garlic, salt and ground black pepper.
4 - Brush basting sauce on mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes and onion.
5 - Arrange skewered mushrooms and vegetables in a single layer on the grill or broiler pan rack. Grill on all sides, brushing with more basting sauce before and after turning; remove each ingredient when browned and tender, about 10 minutes.
6 - Transfer mushrooms to a bowl. Dice onions and tomatoes; slice jalapeño peppers; add to bowl. Gently stir in cilantro and lime juice.
7 - Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs, if desired.
Makes 4 servings.
