Marinated and Grilled Mushrooms

Ingredients

1 pound Domestic Mushrooms

1 pound Shitake Mushrooms

3 Large Portabella Mushrooms

1/2 cup No-Stick Grilling Marinade for Vegetables

1tsp Kosher Salt

1 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground

Marinade

1 tsp Garlic, minced

2 tsp Dijon Mustard

2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar

2 tsp Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp Crushed Red Peppers

3/4 cup Olive Oil

1/2 tsp Kosher Salt

1 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground

1 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped

2 tsp Fresh Basil, chopped

Instructions

Trim the stems on the button mushrooms so that they are even with the bottom of the mushroom. Gently remove and discard the stems of the shitake mushrooms. Remove and discard the stems from the portabella mushrooms. Using a small spoon, scrape the underside of the portabella mushrooms to remove the dark gills. Cut the portabella mushrooms into 6-8 wedges.

Place the mushrooms in a large mixing bowl with the non-stick marinade. Use a rubber spatula (or your hands) mix and coat all of the mushrooms with the non-stick marinade. Marinate for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the marinated mushrooms with the salt and pepper.

Prepare the grill. Preheat a grill screen over medium direct heat. Spread the marinated mushrooms on the hot grill screen and cook 10-14 minutes, turning once while cooking.

Marinade

Combine all of the marinade ingredients and mix well.

As soon as the hot mushrooms come off of the grill, place them in the marinade and toss evenly to coat all of the mushrooms. Keep the mushrooms in a warm place for at least 15 minutes before serving. Best when allowed to marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

Serve warm or chilled.

Braised Beef Short Ribs with Smoked Gouda Grits

I am a huge fan of short rib entrees. They work especially well for large dinners as the doneness is all the same and no one has to worry about who prefers rare and who prefers medium. Plus, the bone acts as a conductor of heat, keeping it warm for longer. Smoked gouda adds depth and creaminess to grits. This version was created by Chef Nevil Barr, New South Restaurant Group’s Chief Culinary Officer. It’s made an appearance on the Crescent City Grill menu and we often use it for catering large groups (if multiplying the recipe for large groups, go easy on the salt and Creole seasoning, you can always add more at the end).

Apple French Toast

French toast has been a favorite since childhood—probably one of the first things I could make on my own. Pancakes were my grandmother Muz’s domain, but French toast was all mine. King’s Hawaiian Bread is always a solid choice, but if you can find a bakery that makes fresh brioche or sweet sourdough, grab it. Never been shy about my love for apples, especially Honey Crisp and Fuji. Apple pie’s always been my go-to, but this recipe takes the best part of apple pie and turns it into breakfast.
