Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds button mushrooms (Or baby portobello mushrooms)
- 16 ounces Italian dressing
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- hardwood for smoking
Instructions
- Place mushrooms in a large bowl or gallon sized bag and pour in Italian dressing. Add in salt and pepper and rotate bag to ensure even coverage.
- Optional: Mushrooms can marinate 1 hour, or even overnight if desired.
- Light hardwood chunks in your smoker until a steady stream of smoke appears.
- Place mushrooms in a single layer in your smoker set at ~250 degrees and let smoke for 60 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and have reduced in size.
Grilling
- If using a grill, place 2 chunks of hardwood over charcoal. (If using propane, omit hardwood)
- Set mushrooms over indirect heat to ensure they don't burn. Let grill until mushrooms are tender and reduced in size. Cooking time will vary depending on grill temperature.
Notes
Don't worry too much about the exact temperature while making these. For this smoker recipe, I use 250 degrees because that is the most common temperature you will typically be smoking your meats at while the mushrooms are cooking. These will smoke great at any temperature as long as it is cool enough not to burn the mushrooms.
These will taste best if using a hardwood, such as cherry wood, to create smoke, but they will still taste exceptional if you are making these on a grill without hardwood.
