Fire-Roasted Mushrooms With Ricotta Salata
- 2 pounds mushrooms (a combination of chanterelle, portobello, cremini, and/or white mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 shallot, grated
- lemon zest from 1 lemon
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 ounce (about 1/4 cup) ricotta salata, shaved
- Fire up a grill to medium-high. We'll use direct heat for this dish.
- PREP THE MUSHROOMS Wash and dry the mushrooms.
- Cut the mushrooms into uniform, just-beyond-bite-sized pieces. They'll shrink when you cook them.
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, the thyme, the sugar, the salt, the garlic, and the shallot.
- MARINATE! Add the mushrooms and toss to coat. Allow the mushrooms to soak up the marinade for 5 minutes.
- Place a grill basket for vegetables on the grill, and preheat it for 10 minutes before adding the mushrooms.
- AND THEN GRILL Put the mushrooms in the grill basket and grill them, stirring every 3 minutes or so, for about 20 minutes total or until they're tender and cooked throughout. Add the lemon zest at the last moment. Stir.
- Transfer the mushrooms to a platter and sprinkle with the red wine vinegar. Top with the shaved ricotta salata.
