You really get a limey zing with these, pairs nicely with the chili - makes me think more Mexican than Spanish, but whichever way you look at it, they taste great. I was a little worried about them being dry, but they weren't. I'd be tempted to make a little more of the dressing next back and hold it back to toss with the cooked mushrooms after - so there is lots of the tasty sauce to go around. I probably cooked mine longer than the recipe states, so I had no problem with them being underdone. thanks Cadillacgirl!

We had tapas for dinner last night and the consensus of the the group was that these were good. I liked the dressing but despite broiling and then baking, the mushrooms stayed very firm and didn't really absorb much of the garlic oil which I was expecting. I might try the oil again with a different method of cooking the mushrooms. Made for ZWT 8
