Grilled Shiitake Mushrooms

• ⅓ pound shiitake mushrooms (per serving)
• Olive oil, for basting
• Kosher salt and freshly milled black pepper

Prepare a charcoal grill.

When the coals turn dusty red, set an oiled rack 4 to 5 inches above the coals.

Brush the mushrooms with oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

Place the mushrooms on the rack and grill until they blister and become slightly limp.

Serve with a sprinkling of thyme leaves.
