I like to marinade and grill the things.

A simple, and utterly delicious marinade I've grown addicted to is red wine, crushed garlic, and some Thai green chili paste. The longer you can let them soak, the better. The chili paste adds some flavour and a lot of 'zip'. So, watch the amounts.

Hope this is useful.

ya im thinking grilled. they have a barbeque so thats a bonus.
i only worry that i might not be able to find any thai green chili paste. ill definitley look though! :)
how long would you marinate them? im thinking i will probablly only have an hour or 2. would that be enough to soak in the flavours?

Yeah. Should be okay.

Keep the marinade handy while you're grilling, and pour it over the mushrooms. Not too much garlic (maybe one or two cloves) and certainly not too much chili paste...

Short-term notice? I'd give 'em portabellos slathered with A1 and minced garlic. Broil or roast.

It's actually pretty good and would taste nice with steak. ;)

hm sounds good
thanks!
im guessing im going to grill/broill them. would you put any olive oil on, or just A1?

If I'm not being lazy, I thin out the A1 with olive oil and brush it on liberally, especially inside the cap. Sometimes I marinate them for a short time, after pricking the 'shrooms all over with a fork. I use jarred minced garlic--it doesn't dry out and go bitter under high, dry heat.

oil and season the heads and grill, chop onion, garlic and the stems and sauté to brown with oil and sasonings to get color/caramelise/flavor, add water and simmer to make that a mushroom stock, add slurry of flour and water to thicken for a mushroom gravy for grilled heads and/or steak.

I would saute and then deglaze the pan with a bit of cream and fresh tarragon to make a bit of a mushroom sauce...
