Shiitake Mushrooms with Young Pecorino Cheese

This elegant vegetarian appetiser brings together the earthy, rich flavour of roasted shiitake mushrooms with the mild, buttery notes of young pecorino fesco. It is a sophisticated addition to any antipasti platter, offering a wonderful contrast between the warm citrus dressing and the fresh parsley. Roasting the mushrooms intensifies their savoury depth, while a gentle marinating period ensures every bite is infused with a bright, zesty finish.

Perfect for effortless entertaining, this dish can be prepared ahead of time, allowing the cheese to slightly soften as it absorbs the lemon and garlic-scented oil. Serve it at room temperature with crusty bread or alongside other Mediterranean-inspired small plates. It is a nutritious, high-protein snack that feels truly indulgent without being overly heavy.

How to make Shiitake Mushrooms with Young Pecorino Cheese
