Mushrooms with Garlic Butter Ingredients/Directions

About 1 pound mixed wild or domestic mushrooms (white buttons, portabello, shiitake, chanterelle)
2 cloves garlic minced very, very fine
1/2 cup butter
Juice from half a lemon
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Salt and pepper

1. Cut all the mushrooms to a uniform size (about 1/2 inch).

2. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, butter, lemon and parsley. Set aside in a cool place.

3. Lay out a piece of aluminum foil about 2 feet long and place the mushrooms about 1/4 of the way across. Season with salt and pepper, and then distribute the butter mixture over them. Fold foil in half, over the mushrooms and roll up edges to seal.

4. Cook on hot grill for about 8 to 12 minutes, depending on heat, until foil puffs up.

Yield: Serves 4 to 6
