Stuffed Mushrooms Steamed on a BBQ Plank
Cooking mushrooms steamed on wood is simply, in my opinion, the best way to eat mushrooms. They absorb the moisture from the wood incredible well, as well as the different flavours of the wood, to make them very moist, tender and tasty but not mushy or slimy.
Even cooking mushrooms simply ( BBQ or in the oven) with a drizzle of olive oil and some salt and pepper, you can enjoy the amazing flavour and texture of mushrooms. I am really looking forward to trying lots of different mushrooms, with their differing flavours and textures, on wood. I'll keep you posted.
Any of the woods can be used for cooking mushrooms such as Oak, Beech and Cherry but, as always, take care with the Cedar because it is very sweet and spicy and the flavour can be too over powering for some. Just a matter of taste.

1. Heat some oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion, spring onion and garlic until soft.
2. In a bowl mix your fried onion mixture with the bread crumbs, cheeses, mayonnaise, herbs and salt and pepper.
3. Divide your mixture up between the two mushrooms and gently fill them up with the mixture. Place your Stuffed Mushrooms onto your BBQ Plank and sprinkle with some parsley.
4. Preheat your BBQ to a medium heat and place your pre-soaked BBQ Plank with the mushrooms onto the BBQ Grill, close the lid and BBQ for 12-15 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and the top begins to brown.
This is the vegetarian version but you can add the chopped prawns or chopped smoky bacon to the mixture for the meat eaters.
