"If I grew mushrooms, would that make me a fun-ghi?" said Simeon with a smile before his post-grad graduation ceremony at the CTICC, where Denny Mushroom conference posters were stuck all over the walls of the convention centre.
So-called "beef mushrooms" make a wonderful substitute for meat on the braai, as they hold their own against the heat and retain their flavour well.
Grilled Beef Mushrooms:
- Brush mushrooms with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and fresh thyme leaves.
- Grill on a medium-hot braai for 10 - 15 minutes, turning often.
