"Miso, garlic, and butter strike a power chord that makes anything addictively delicious – shellfish, noodles, steak, tofu, you name it. I particularly like it on juicy grilled mushrooms for a great vegetarian main or hearty brunch dish". - Tim Anderson
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Smash together the butter, miso, garlic and lots of pepper to make a thick paste. Heat the grill to high. Place the mushrooms, gill side up, on a rack on a baking tray, and place them on the top rack of the oven. Grill for 4-5 minutes until browned, then slather each one with the miso garlic butter. Return to the grill for another 2-3 minutes so the butter melts and fuses with the mushrooms. Remove from the grill.
Grill the sliced sourdough (1 slice per 2 mushrooms) and grill for 30-45 seconds per side under the hot grill until just golden and heated through. You could also use a toaster.
Cut each mushroom into quarters before serving on top of the toasted sourdough and garnish with parsley (or chives) and drizzle over any miso-butter juices.
