Amazing baked marinated mushrooms *o*-OMG yum!

This is another one of my most favorite recipes, it's very easy & really tasty.

It's become a favorite, the original was from a book called 'Growing gourmet & medicinal mushrooms' by 'Paul Stamets'.
We changed it up a bit, so I hope you'll like it.

*Japanese style baked Mushrooms Recipe*

Ingredients:

- 2 Large Mushrooms, not fully opened (I use Swiss brown mushrooms, but any will do)

(Marinade)

- 1 tbs of Olive oil

- 2 tbs of Sesame oil

- 1 tbs of GF Soy sauce, or Tamari

- 2-3 tbs of White wine - (Mirin or Sake is fine)

- 1 tsp of Agave syrup or Golden syrup.

- 1-2 cloves of Garlic - minced

- A pinch of Black pepper

Serve with fresh rice or mashed potatoes if you're grain-free.

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F) & line a baking tray with foil.

2. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms, dice them finely & set aside. You may need to slice a bit off the top of the mushrooms so they will sit flat on the baking tray & won't tip over, however it's not always necessary, if you do, dice the offcuts finely & add them along with the stalks into the hollow area of the upturned mushrooms & sit them on the baking tray.

3. Mince the garlic & combine in a small bowl with all the other marinade ingredients & mix until honey has dissolved, then spoon the marinade equally into the hollows of the upturned mushrooms.

4. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the mushrooms have shrunk & softened.

Serve it however you like!

This is what the mushrooms look like before they're baked, filled with the diced off-cuts, stalks & marinade. You can see because they're not fully opened they have walls that hold the marinade. Once they're baked the mushrooms are sweet, salty & juicy. They have a fairly strong flavour & are best accompanied by something simple like steamed rice, lightly flavored noodles, etc.

Give it a go some time~
