Ingredients
Portobello Mushrooms
3 (cleaned, stems removed and chopped)
Olive Oil
2 tablespoons (plus extra for brushing)
Garlic Cloves
4 (coarsely chopped)
Sea Salt
to taste
Black Pepper
to taste
Lemon Juice
2 (tablespoons)
Whole Grain Baguette

Instructions
1
Start by cleaning the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel. Remove the stems and finely chop them.
2
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems and coarsely chopped garlic until fragrant and lightly golden. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to taste. If you prefer, this step can be prepared in advance.
3
Brush the top of each portobello cap lightly with olive oil and place them, stem-side down, on a moderately hot BBQ grill. Grill for about 10 minutes until the edges display nice browning grill marks.
4
Flip the mushrooms over and generously spread the sautéed stem and garlic mixture over the undersides. Optionally, brush a little more olive oil on top. Continue grilling for an additional 5 minutes.
5
Once cooked, remove the mushrooms from the grill and drizzle the remaining lemon juice over them. Allow the mushrooms to cool slightly.
6
While the mushrooms cool, slice the whole grain baguette into pieces and lightly toast them. You can do this on the top rack of the BBQ for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
7
After the mushrooms have cooled, cut them into quarters or slice them into thick pieces. Arrange the mushroom pieces on the slices of toasted baguette, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately for a delectable treat.
