When relaxing in nature, everyone mostly cooks meat on the grill - pork, lamb, chicken and even beef. This is a barbecue classic. But let's dilute this holiday of taste for the meat-eater and fry a delicious mushroom kebab? First, we will select the best champignons, wash and marinate them in mayonnaise, soy sauce or oil with the addition of garlic and other favorite spices.

They can be combined with other types of forest or “domestic” mushrooms - such a kebab will look very impressive, and the taste of the dish will not disappoint expectations. The champignons do not fry over coals for very long; cooking from the very beginning until serving will take about an hour (with short marinating). Join us, it will be delicious!
Let's figure out how to properly cook champignons on the grill - features of frying mushroom kebabs
- It is best to bake over smoldering coals champignons with medium-sized caps - they are easy to put on wooden or metal skewers and are convenient to eat. It will also take a little time to fry them.
- Mushrooms, like a sponge, absorb flavors and aromas. Therefore, it is advisable to marinate them before cooking. The base of the marinade is most often mayonnaise or sour cream, soy sauce, vegetable (olive or refined sunflower) oil, and live beer. Champignons go well with various spices - garlic, dill, ground black pepper, coriander, mustard, herbes de Provence, etc.
- Before marinating, you need to prepare the mushrooms - cut off the contaminated tip of the stem and wash the cap. It is better to avoid prolonged washing so that the mushrooms do not absorb a lot of moisture. If the skin is too dirty, you can gently scrub it off with the hard side of a sponge.
- Usually, champignons are cooked whole on the grill, with the stem slightly shortened. But if the mushrooms are large, you can cut them in half or even into 4 parts. When grilling or grilling, you can separate the stems from the caps.
- When preparing shish kebab from champignons on the grill, you can place it on long wooden sticks (skewers), ordinary skewers, and place it on the grill.
- Before placing mushrooms on the grill, you need to make sure that the coals are well burned - they have become completely gray. The shish kebab should be cooked, turning as it browns.
- Between the champignons, you can put thinly sliced lard or bacon on the skewers - the kebabs will turn out even more juicy and rosy.
- On average, the preparation time for such a dish is 15-25 minutes, depending on the size of the caps.
- Mushrooms go well with chicken and other meats, and many vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, onions, sweet peppers, tomatoes). Therefore, these products can be safely combined in one dish.
- It is advisable to fry mushrooms of approximately the same size over an open fire so that they reach the same temperature at the same time.
- When strung on wooden skewers, the caps often crack. To prevent this from happening, you need to thread the mushrooms through the blunt end.
- If you use wooden skewers, they need to be soaked for at least 2 hours in cold water - then they will not smolder.
