This is a fantastic vegetarian grilled mushroom recipe from Alfred Prasad. Tandoor-grilled portobello, shiitake and oyster mushrooms with pickled onions and diced beetroot make for an exciting combination. The onions need pickling at least 10 days ahead, so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to prep.
