JFires Market Bistro’s Grilled Tomato and Oyster Mushroom Salad



Ingredients

2 Purple Cherokee tomatoes
1 lb. oyster mushrooms, cleaned and separated
1 large sprig fresh hot and spicy oregano, cleaned and destemmed
6 to 8 fresh Thai basil leaves, cleaned
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
1 clove garlic
1 tsp. kosher salt



Preparation

• Preheat the grill to 250 degrees.

• Slice the tomatoes at least 1 inch thick and set them in a large bowl.

• Place the oyster mushrooms in the bowl.

• Using a very sharp knife, stack the oregano and basil leaves on top of each other and slice into thin strips. Sprinkle over the oyster mushrooms and tomatoes.

• Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture in the bowl.

• Place the garlic clove and salt together on chopping board. Use the side of the knife to make a paste of the garlic and salt, chopping and smashing until you’ve got a minced, juicy combination. Add the garlic mash to the bowl.

• Gently combine the ingredients, making sure they are completely mixed.

• Place the tomatoes and oysters on the grill, using a spatula to coat the vegetables with the herbs and garlic.

• Grill each piece for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.

• Serve immediately.
