Thyme Mushrooms

Recipe by Jamie Oliver from Oliver's Twist

Pin It

The thyme brush used for this is a great way to combine the thyme flavour with the mushrooms. You could use it for any other griddled vegetables or meat as well.

Serves 4

Ingredients

8 large flat field mushrooms
1 bunch fresh thyme
Extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
1 red chilli finely chopped
Finely grated zest & juice of 1 lemon
Extra virgin olive oil
balsamic vinegar optional

Method

Heat a heavy griddle pan on the hob.
Slice the bottom off each mushroom, then place the tops on the griddle, flat side down.
Wrap some string around the thyme to make a brush.
Put the brush end with a large pinch of salt in the mortar and then bash, adding about 5 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil and the white wine vinegar.
Add a bit more salt and pepper.
Using the thyme bundle as a brush turn the mushrooms over and brush with the thyme oil- keep dabbing them while they are cooking.
When the mushrooms are cooked, place them on a serving plate and sprinkle them with the parsley, chilli and lemon zest. Squeeze over the lemon juice and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Add a little balsamic vinegar if you like.

I loved the flavour of the thyme and the zest with the mushrooms. I even make this if i am making eggs as a side accompaniment. Simple but very tasty. This is always rotation if i want something quick to make.
