Tahini Grilled Mushrooms

Tahini Grilled Mushrooms

Old Recipe Savoury,Savoury

“I'm kind of a low-key guy

 

I can have mushrooms in just about everything and anything.

Grilled veggies on the side is a personal favourite because, well, it’s veggies and nutrition. And also because it fills up the plate, so you don’t feel like you’re really on a diet.

These mushrooms, marinated in tahini sauce with yogurt and spices, are an awesome side dish to serve. You could even add more sauce to make it more gravy-like and have it with rice. This dish is great to serve at a BBQ feast.

You can marinate any vegetable in this sauce – baby corn, zucchini, carrots, peppers… and you can even marinate paneer with some onions and peppers.

About

Instead of mushrooms, you can use any other vegetable or paneer or potatoes.

I would avoid mixing the mushrooms with other veggies, as mushrooms release a lot of water whilst cooking and takes a while longer than other vegetables. Marinate and cook the other vegetables separately. Mushrooms require cooking at high heat, other veggies can be cooked on medium heat.
