LEMON PEPPER KING SATAY kebabs on grillLEMON PEPPER KING SATAY

INGREDIENTS
1 pound king oyster mushrooms, caps removed

5 tablespoons olive oil (divided,
3 tablespoons/2 tablespoons)

2 lemons, juiced (approximately ¼ cup)

1 garlic clove, finely minced

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ tablespoon fresh cracked black pepper

DIRECTIONS
Soak wooden skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking to prevent burning or use metal skewers.

Heat a cast-iron pan to medium heat and pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil, then add mushrooms.

While mushrooms are searing, use a second cast-iron skillet or other heavy bottomed pan to press them down for 2 to 3 minutes.

Flip the mushrooms, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water to the pan and repeat for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Pull from heat and allow pressed mushrooms to cool on a work surface.

Slice vertically into strips, then pierce and weave with skewers. Transfer to plate or dish for marinating.

In small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic.

Pour over the skewers and let sit for 30 to 60 minutes.

Heat a cast-iron grill pan or charcoal grill on medium heat, brush oil mixture, add skewers and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Serve hot with fresh squeezed lemon!
