Mushroom Pintxos

Roasted Garlic Tahini

Date Syrup

Method

Mushroom Pintxos

  1. 1

    Prepare the mushrooms

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and trim the stems if necessary. Place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the mushrooms

    Drizzle the olive oil over the mushrooms, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Assemble the skewers

    Thread two mushrooms onto each skewer, leaving a bit of space between them for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Roast the mushrooms

    Arrange the skewers on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly golden.

Roasted Garlic Tahini

  1. 5

    Roast the garlic

    Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast them in the oven alongside the mushrooms for about 20 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.

  2. 6

    Prepare the tahini

    In a blender, combine the roasted garlic (squeezed out of the skins), tahini, lemon juice, water, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to achieve desired consistency.

Date Syrup

  1. 7

    Make the date syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine the pitted dates and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the dates are very soft.

  2. 8

    Blend into syrup

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. If it's too thick, add a bit more water to reach desired syrup consistency.
