Instead of wrapping the mushrooms in bacon, you can also combine 2 Tbs olive oil, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 Tbs chopped basil and the grated rind and juice of one lemon. Spoon the mixture over 300g of big brown mushrooms and leave to stand for 5 minutes, before putting on the braai.

Mushroom Burger
