Description

Delicate mushrooms with a distinct aroma of garlic and a buttery note are a simple yet impressive appetizer in the style of modern Polish cuisine. Grilled on a grill pan or an outdoor grill, the mushrooms develop pleasant charred edges and intense flavor; served with homemade garlic butter and fresh parsley, they look elegant and appetizing. Perfect as an appetizer for spring gatherings, as a side to bread, or as part of a snack board. The combination of warm butter and sour lemon enhances the flavor of the mushrooms, while optional chili flakes or grated cheese add a spicy or creamy touch. Visually: golden edges, a shiny surface of butter, and green accents of parsley.

Preparation steps

Garlic butter

1

Prepare the garlic butter. Take the butter out of the fridge and cut it into small pieces, transferring it to a small bowl. If the butter is very hard, soften it in the microwave for 6–8 seconds (in short bursts to avoid melting). Peel the garlic and crush the cloves with the flat side of a knife, then chop very finely or press through a garlic press. Wash the parsley, dry it with a paper towel, and chop finely. Add the chopped garlic, chopped parsley, the zest of half a lemon (only the yellow part), and a teaspoon of lemon juice to the butter. Season with 1 g of salt and 1 g of freshly ground pepper (a pinch of each) and mix thoroughly with a spoon until the mixture is uniform. The butter should be soft and easy to spread.

Ingredients: Butter, Garlic, Parsley, Lemon, Salt, Black pepper
Use a small bowl and a spoon or spatula. If you don't have a garlic press, chop finely with a knife. Do not melt the butter in the microwave — it should be soft, not liquid.

Preparation of mushrooms

2

Clean the mushrooms: do not soak them under running water. Wipe each mushroom with a damp cloth or paper towel, and trim any tough ends of the stems. If the caps are very large, you can cut them in half to make them a similar size. Arrange the mushrooms on a board, rinse quickly if they are very dirty, and dry them. In a bowl, mix 15 g of rapeseed oil with 1 g of salt and 1 g of pepper (a pinch of each). Using a kitchen brush or pastry brush, spread a thin layer of oil on the surface of each mushroom — this will prevent sticking and help achieve nice grill marks.

Ingredients: Rapeseed oil, Salt, Black pepper
Use a silicone brush for greasing. Don't use too much oil — mushrooms absorb moisture and excess fat will cause splattering.

Grilling

3

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare a grill. Heat the pan for 3–5 minutes until it is very hot (check with a drop of water — it should sizzle and evaporate). Place the mushrooms cap side down on the heated pan, leaving small gaps for the steam to escape. Grill for 3–4 minutes without moving them — the bottoms should have clear grill marks and a light golden color. Flip the mushrooms to the other side and grill for another 3–4 minutes until they become firm and the mushroom juice slightly evaporates. If the mushrooms are very large and juicy, the time may extend by 1–2 minutes.

Ingredients: Rapeseed oil
Use a grill pan with a diameter of at least 26 cm or a grill. Do not overcrowd the pan — it's better to grill in batches. If you are using an outdoor grill, keep the lid partially closed and monitor the temperature.

Finishing and serving

4

When the mushrooms are ready, remove them from the grill onto a wide plate. Immediately place a teaspoon of garlic butter prepared earlier on each mushroom — the heat from the mushrooms will melt the butter and coat the caps. Drizzle with 10–15 g of lemon juice (about half a lemon for the whole, depending on acidity) and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley for color. If using, optionally add 30 g of grated cheese or 1 teaspoon (2 g) of chili flakes on top.

Ingredients: Butter, Lemon, Parsley, Cheese, Chili flakes
Grated cheese can be shredded on a fine grater and sprinkled just before serving; if you want to melt the cheese, place the plate in a hot oven for 1 minute. Additionally, you can add chili flakes for heat.

Serving

5

Arrange the mushrooms on a wooden board or serving plate. Serve with pieces of fresh country bread or small toasts, so guests can scoop up the melted butter. Serve immediately while the butter is still liquid — that's when the flavor and texture are at their best.

Ingredients: Butter
The best dish is a flat, wide plate or board; serve the mushrooms hot. Avoid covering them in a closed container — they will become rubbery.

Fun Fact

💡

In Polish cuisine, although mushrooms are not a native forest species, they have gained immense popularity as a versatile ingredient — from soups to appetizers. Grilled mushrooms with garlic butter are a modern variation on traditional garlic butter often served with sausages or bread.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the mushrooms hot, immediately after brushing with butter. They pair well with dark bread, thin slices of pickled cucumber for a tangy contrast, and a glass of chilled, light vermouth or wheat beer.

🥡 Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Heat briefly on a grill pan over medium heat (1–2 minutes) — avoid the microwave, as the mushrooms will lose their texture. Store garlic butter separately in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze portions.
