2 Grill Prep
- Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
- Method: Two-Zone Method
- Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

3 The Cook
- When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
- Grill the mushroom caps directly over the coals for 1 minute on each side.
- Remove them from the grill and fill each cap with ⅓ cup of the tomato, onion and basil mixture. Drizzle generously with balsamic-miso pan sauce.
- Next, put the stuffed mushroom caps on the cooler side of the grate, away from the coals. Close the grill lid and cook until the mushrooms soften, about 15 minutes.
- For the salad dressing: Whisk ¼ cup of olive oil and the lemon juice into the ¼ cup of reserved balsamic-miso pan sauce.
- Make 4 individual beds of arugula. Place a stuffed mushroom cap on top of each bed.
- Top with feta cheese and drizzle with the salad dressing.
