  2. Blend the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, soaked porcini, a little soaking liquid, warm water and salt into a smooth sauce.
  3. Mix olive oil, soy sauce, pomegranate molasses, maple syrup, garlic, paprika, cumin and pepper.
  4. Toss the mushrooms in the glaze and leave for 30 minutes.
  5. Thread the mushrooms onto skewers.
  6. Grill or BBQ over high heat, brushing with glaze as they cook.
  7. Cook until softened, sticky and lightly charred.

Notes

King oyster mushrooms work especially well because they stay meaty on the grill. Keep glazing as they cook for the best sticky finish.
