Grilled Mushrooms with Oregano and Garlic
Unless you really aren't a mushroom fan (and I don't know too many such folks), grilled mushrooms are a classic, easy recipe fit for the holidays and every day. The tang of garlic, Greek olive oil and oregano make these grilled mushrooms even better. You can serve them right out of the oven, or at room temperature. In my house, they disappear almost as fast as I serve them. To find true Greek olive oil and the same oregano that perfumes the mountainsidesof Greece, go to my online store here.
