How delicious grilled marinated oyster mushrooms are, quick to prepare, and they keep in the fridge for a few days thanks to the marinade with oil and vinegar, making them really very pleasant, with a fresh and enjoyable taste that suits this meaty mushroom with a sweet and delicate taste. Oyster mushrooms can also be grown at home like cardoncelli mushrooms, belonging to the same family. In fact, I did it some time ago, I had bought a couple of mushroom bales, one of cardoncelli, and the other of pleurotus. I love them both, and since I cook them often, I thought, why not try growing them, since they are ready for harvest, you just need to water the bales and wait for the harvest. I’ll leave you the links if you want to try home cultivation too.

Steps
Once you’ve purchased or harvested oyster mushrooms from your home kits, it’s time to prepare them for cooking.
On a cutting board, gently detach them from the base, separating them one by one. For grilling, choose the larger and more uniform ones.
Do not wash them, but rub them lightly with paper.
Heat the grill, in my case the Rowenta double plate electric grill to the maximum temperature.
When the plates are hot, place a few mushrooms on the grill at a time, without overlapping, to cover the entire grill. Close it and cook for a few minutes; a couple of minutes should be enough, and then gradually lower the time as the plates remain hot. There’s no need to oil the plates if they are in perfect condition.
Remove the oyster mushrooms with silicone tongs, to avoid damage, and continue until all mushrooms are cooked.
On the cutting board, prepare a very fine minced mix of garlic, chili pepper, and parsley. Place in a bowl with oil, salt, and apple cider vinegar, and mix.
In a tray, prepare a layer of mushrooms, season with the prepared sauce, then another layer of mushrooms and more sauce, and so on. Let them marinate a bit before enjoying these delicious grilled oyster mushrooms. Perfect for any season, they are excellent as an appetizer but also as a side dish, especially for grilled meat.
