Grilled Mushrooms
Large grilled mushrooms filled with goodness.
My wife is not a big fan of mushrooms so when I made this for lunch today, I didn’t expect much to be eaten. I’m happy to say I was wrong. This recipe was a success even with Caroline!
As it’s not quite outdoor tandoori weather yet, I decided to make these in the oven. I can assure you I’ll definitely be demonstrating this tandoori recipe on the barbecue or in the tandoor oven when weather permits. Watch this space.
I would normally make such recipes with fresh homemade paneer but my work schedule today didn’t permit such luxuries so I used buffalo mozzarella. To be honest, there isn’t a big difference in flavour. Unless you feel like making a batch of paneer, go for the mozzarella.
These mushrooms are stuffed with figs among other things which gives them a slightly sweet flavour that goes really well with my homemade curry leaf vinaigrette. That’s the green bit on the top.
This is a lite vegetarian dish which works well as a main or side dish.
