Grilled King Trumpet Mushrooms with Almond Dip

This creamy almond dip would be a terrific and unexpected pairing with any vegetable crudité.

Ingredients

4 Servings

cups whole blanched almonds

1

tablespoon fresh lemon juice

4

tablespoons olive oil, divided

1

tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Banyuls vinegar or sherry vinegar, divided
Kosher salt

1

pound king trumpet mushrooms, stems trimmed, halved lengthwise
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°. Set 6 almonds aside for serving. Toast remaining nuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden, 8–10 minutes. Let cool.

    Step 2

    Transfer almonds to a blender and blend until almonds are finely ground. Add lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 Tbsp. vinegar, and ½ cup water. Blend, adding more water by the tablespoonful if needed to help blend, until dip is fairly smooth (you’ll have a few small pieces of almond throughout). Season generously with salt.

    Step 3

    Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Toss mushrooms and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Grill mushrooms, turning occasionally until tender and lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Return mushrooms to bowl and toss with remaining 2 tsp. vinegar.

    Step 4

    Serve mushrooms with almond dip with reserved almonds finely grated over.
