Cuisine Mexican Servings Ingredients 1 pound Chicken of the Woods mushrooms 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce 2 tablespoons Lime Juice 2 cloves garlic minced 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon Cumin 1/2 teaspoon chili powder Salt and pepper to taste Fresh cilantro for garnish optional Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Clean the Chicken of the Woods mushrooms thoroughly and trim off any tough parts. Cut them into large, bite-sized pieces that will be easy to grill.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, tamari or soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to make a marinade.
3. Place the mushroom pieces in a shallow dish or a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all the mushrooms are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed and have turned gray.
5. Remove the marinated mushroom pieces from the dish or bag, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
6. Place the mushroom pieces on the grill, arranging them in a single layer. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred. Baste with the reserved marinade occasionally during grilling to enhance the flavor.
7. Once cooked, remove the grilled mushrooms from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
8. Serve the Grilled "Polo Asado" Chicken of the Woods Mushrooms hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the mushrooms, adding a bright citrusy touch.

Recipe Notes

Now, let's talk about personalization. While my recipe is a masterpiece in its own right, I encourage you to embrace your creativity and experiment with alternative ingredients. Here are a few side notes to spark your imagination: If you prefer a milder smoky flavor, reduce the amount of smoked paprika and chili powder. Feeling adventurous? Add a touch of heat with a pinch of cayenne pepper or a drizzle of sriracha sauce. Craving a burst of freshness? Squeeze a lime juice over the grilled mushrooms just before serving. If you are not up for grilling, try cooking the Chicken of the Wood in a cast iron pan. You can achieve a good char and fully cook the mushrooms by covering them with a lid. Remember, the art of vegan cooking knows no bounds. Allow your taste buds to explore and savor the endless possibilities!
