Grilled Mushrooms with Charred Sourdough and Tarragon Aioli

25 Minutes | easy | Serves 2

This simple dish is so delicious and works well at any time of day. You could also use portobello mushrooms, and feel free to add flavours to them before grilling. We think they work best grilled as they are, however, as there’s so much flavour in the aioli. You could also use a high quality shop bought mayonnaise for this, and add the garlic and tarragon.

Ingredients

  • 500g chestnut mushrooms
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 150ml oil
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed or grated
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Handful tarragon leaves, chopped
  • 2 slices sourdough
  • Drizzle olive oil

Directions

1.

First, make the aioli

First, make the aioli by combining the egg yolks and mustard in the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment – you could also use a hand whisk. Begin adding the oil a drop at a time, whisking until completely incorporated before adding more. As the mayonnaise begins to thicken, begin adding the oil in a thin stream, until it’s all used up.

2.

Stir in the lemon

Stir in the lemon juice, garlic, tarragon and some salt and pepper. The aioli will take quite a lot of salt.
