Best Shiitake Skewers Recipes

GRILLED SEA SCALLOP AND SHIITAKE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in a bowl. Add soy sauce, olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir to coat.
• Place scallops, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a separate bowl. Stir to coat.
• Soak wooden skewers in water while mushrooms and scallops marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Thread mushrooms and scallops onto separate skewers. Grill until mushrooms soften scallops are opaque, about 3 minutes per side. Cook mushrooms for 1 to 2 minutes more if needed. Serve immediately.

GRILLED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS ON ROSEMARY SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place vinegar in a small bowl; whisk in oil. Add rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a shallow nonreactive dish, arrange mushrooms, stem-side down, in an even layer. Brush each mushroom cap with marinade, and set aside. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Trim rosemary sprigs to a length to hold two mushroom caps, leaving about 1 inch of the skewer exposed. Thread rosemary, stem-end first, crosswise through the mushrooms, removing rosemary needles if needed to skewer. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until warm. Cook the skewered mushrooms, stem-side up, on the grill for about 6 minutes, until subtle grill marks appear. Serve warm with remaining vinaigrette on the side, if desired.

ROSEMARY SKEWERS OF SHIITAKE MUSHROOM, BROCCOLI AND GARLIC CLOVES

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
• Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain and cool.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the garlic cloves until they are golden and soft. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• To make the skewers: Remove the leaves from the bottom 2/3 of the rosemary sprigs and reserve them for future use. Skewer a mushroom, broccoli floret and a roasted garlic clove onto each rosemary sprig. Put the completed skewers on a baking sheet, brush them with the marinade, and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the rosemary skewers over medium-high heat for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Serve with a small wedge of Cambozola cheese.

SHIITAKE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the shiitake and thread them on bamboo skewers. Combine the sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and chili paste and whisk to combine. Begin cooking by brushing the shiitake with the marinade and placing them on the grill. Grill to taste, approx 5-6 minutes.
• Begin cooking pasta, by adding to boiling water and simmering for approximately 8 minutes.
• Heat wok and fry the ginger in a little sesame oil for a minute. When fragrant, add the carrots and squash followed in 2-3 minutes by the pea shoots or snap peas. Turn the peas into the hot carrot squash mixture and remove from heat. Drain the pasta well and combine with the vegetable sauté, dressing with any extra marinade and soy sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
