Grilled Cuban-Style Mushrooms
For a vegetarian option at your next barbecue–make friends with fungi! This mushroom recipe is a flavour bomb. Use half the marinade before cooking, then the remainder as a finishing sauce. These juicy mushrooms are not only a great source of selenium, B vitamins, and copper, but they also have a meaty texture that makes a great meat substitute.
