In the summertime when BBQing, Italians like to grill sausages and chops or one of my favourites, thick slices of bacon! So good.

And of course besides the side salads including a delicious cold Bean Salad and of course you gotta have Bruschetta. From  a Simple Bruschetta with a delicious topping of  Fresh Tomatoes to some simple Oven Dried Tomatoes.

Just before leaving on our trip to Canada we had a few friends over for a BBQ and I wanted to do something different as a spread for the bruschetta. Since I had a package of mushrooms in the fridge I knew they were going to be the star.

It had to be a creamy, cheesy mushroom spread I decided. I didn’t want to blend the mushrooms I wanted to leave them chopped, but not raw. Best way to do that was to chop them up quite small.

I placed them into a medium size bowl and drizzled them with the juice of a half lemon and some salt, and let them sit for about 30 minutes.

They release quite a bit of water so I then drained them and squeezed out as much of the excess water as possible. But remember don’t rinse them! I then added some fresh chopped Italian parsley, oregano a little olive oil and of course some cream cheese.

        Hi Leanne, it should keep for up to 3-4 days refrigerated. Covered well in plastic or in an airtight container. 🙂

        Hi Heena, yes but the mushrooms basically cook with the addition of the lemon and salt. Hope that helps.
