Marinated Mushrooms

1 pound large brown mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper

In selecting mushrooms, look for firm, dry skin. Colors vary from white to brown.

Makes 4 servings.

Step 1:
Preheat broiler. Arrange mushrooms, stem side down, on rack over a broiler pan.
Brush generously with oil and broil until slightly soft. Transfer to a bowl and stir in remaining ingredients. Marinate at least 2 hours.

Step 2:
Preheat the broiler. Line a broiling pan or shallow baking pan with the rock salt or a layer of crushed foil. Cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise, then lengthwise. In a small bowl, mix the parsley with the garlic.

Tip:
To prepare mushrooms, gently clean with a damp paper towel or wash under cold water and pat dry. Trim or remove stems.
