Grilled whole portabellos and portabellinis

  • In a large bowl combine the olive oil, chilli flakes, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to coat well.
  • Braai mushrooms top down to start, then flip after 5 to 7 min and continue to cook until the mushrooms are just becoming tender.

Grilled white button and portabellini kebabs

  • Cut the bell peppers into 3 cm square pieces.
    On a long kebab stick alternate between white buttons, portebellinis and bell peppers.
  • With a pastry brush, generously brush each kebab with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook on the braai, turning the kebabs a quarter turn every 2 to 3 min.
    Cook until the mushrooms begin to get tender and the peppers begin to pick up color on their edges.

Braaied peppers

  • Brush the peppers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a hot braai and cook until the peppers are slightly blistered on all sides.
