Sue Lau's Note:

Mmmmmmmmm......Pile these on a warm piece of pita bread stuffed with feta cheese and pitted kalamata olives. Now this is eating!

These are awesome. So easy to make, so full of flavor. We ate them wrapped in a pita with kalamata olives and feta cheese. For ease of preparation, instead of threading the shrooms on skewers I just cooked them in my grill basket. What a breeze. Absolutely divine!! Thanks for posting. Next time I will triple the recipe.

These were good, very tasty but we found it a bit tangy for our taste. It helped eating this with rice. Thanks for letting us try this.

Great recipe. Initially, I thought the mushrooms would turn out too tart, also, but I needn't have feared. Once removed from the marinade and finished off on the grill, they were absolutely PERFECT. A complement to our grilled Father's Day lunch in way-too-hot Greece.
