Hadn't had any in over a year so got to work on it yesterday. Two of the shrooms were massive, marinated them for 3-hours:



Had to have a libation, went with 4-berry 'Rita with a little fresh chipotle and used Sotol instead of usual silver agave tequila, then discovered I prefer tequila much more:




Weighting the shrooms, threw on a small chunk of cherry wood for flavor


Bottoms up, there is a reason for this:


Moved shrooms to indirect, added olive oil packed sundried tomatoes, let then cook another 4-mins or so:

Fresh basil, drizzle of marinade on potato bun:

Massive shroom pancakes bun:

Have to add crumbled goat cheese:

Damn good and juicy with a glass of prosecco:


Not exactly what I would consider aesthetically beautiful, but it's the taste that matters. Top was closed about 90% of the cook time, all-in probably 15-minutes on grill, about 5 of that was indirect, then again the shrooms were much larger than normal.

Love them, but can't digest them. Looks great to me.

I just grilled a few yesterday as a side for a beef "Throwdown" competition.
Very tasty with just melted butter aslt and fresh cracked black pepper.

I was in the Chihuahuan desert just 3 days ago studying Sotols, Ocotillios, Agaves and other high desert plants at the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute.

I like the raw baby P's sliced thin in salad.

It was a meat replacement dish for us, it's a multi-use food.

Did you get to sample any distilled versions from the plants afterwards?? The sotol had an odd aftertaste, it wasn't necessarily unpleasant but definitely not as clean of a finish of better organic silver tequila from 100% blue agave. I wonder what the production level of agave plants are compared to 20-yrs ago as tequila has exploded over the last 10+yrs or so.

Can't help you with that, but sometimes it is surprising what one can find in Costco. My neighbors finally gave up on a multi-year effort to grow asparagus. I would think mushrooms would be a little easier, those came from the state of PA.

Oh I was just commenting really. I just started growing them as a hobby to eat, not really for the money, and surprisingly I can grow them in my room. it's pretty sweet


Gonna have to try those burgers when I get my first flush

This wasn't an alcohol production place. It is strictly a botanical/ desert sustainability research institute in the high desert of south Texas.

Does it matter if you remove the gills? Those look really good.

I was just going to mention that I like to remove the gills with a spoon. You have to be very gentle though.

You could, I like the way they absorb the marinade.
