Default Barbequed Mushrooms with Avocado

Barbequed Mushrooms with Avocado


Serves: 4 person(s)
Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 12 mins
Yield: 4 x mushrooms

A mushroom dish perfect for brunch or an alfresco lunch!

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 small red chilis, finely chopped
2 Tbsp thyme leaves
4 large flat mushrooms, stalks removed
1 salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 slices pancetta
1 small avocado, flesh mashed
2 Tbsp lowfat sour cream

Directions:

Preheat a barbeque plate or char-grill on medium-high heat. Combine oil, garlic, chilis and thyme in a small container. Brush over both sides of each mushroom. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Place pancetta onto barbeque plate or char-grill and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove and set aside.

Place mushrooms flat-side down onto barbeque plate or char-grill and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until just tender.

Meanwhile, combine avocado, sour cream and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well.

Place mushrooms onto serving plates. Top with avocado mixture and pancetta. Serve immediately.

Note: If available, nonfat sour cream can be used to further reduce total fat.
