• Ingredients:
  • 10 oz package of FunGuy Mushroom Stuffers
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
  • 5 fresh basil leaves
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pinch coarse salt
  • 12 cherry red and yellow cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cucumber
  • 3 oz fresh mozzarella
  • 12 slices of smoked salami
  • Fresh ground black pepper

While raw marinated mushrooms are an absolute hot weather essential, they can be even more delicious after being thrown onto a hot grill!

Just be sure to stack that summer time flavor with sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh cucumber, and a slice of salty salami and mozzarella. It’s the antipasti dish that’ll last you all the way through barbecue season and straight into the holidays!

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Brush off any debris from the FunGuy mushrooms with a damp towel. Pop out the stems and place the caps into a bowl, discarding the stems. On a cutting board, roughly chop the thyme, oregano and basil. 
  2. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, chopped herbs, and salt in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms and let them sit for about 20 minutes. 
  3. While the mushrooms marinate prepare the rest of the ingredients for assembly. 
  4. Cut the cherry tomatoes on half and set aside. Peel and slice the cucumber into rounds and set aside. With a small spoon or melon baller scoop small half balls out of the mozzarella and set aside. 
  5. With a paper towel oil a grill pan or a grill grate for a grill and place it over high heat on the stove or grill. 
  6. Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Lay the mushrooms hole side up on the hot grill pan or grill grate and allow them to cook 3-4 minutes on each side. Liquid should form in the cap as they cook so be certain to discard once finished cooking. 
  7. To assemble lay the mushrooms out on a cutting board with the hole side up. Place one half of the cherry tomato into each mushroom, add a slice of salami, slice of cucumber, a mozzarella ball, and the other half of a cherry tomato on top. Secure everything with a tooth pick. 
  8. These are good served warm, or at room temperature but be certain to drizzle some of the the remaining balsamic marinade on top of each mushroom stack and enjoy!

Have a Fun meal!
