Marinated Mushroom Skewers

I find this way of presenting mushrooms on skewers so cute. They would work beautifully on a barbecue – and we know mushrooms and barbecues are best friends – but they are equally successful when roasted in the oven. The way I’ve done them here is tangy with balsamic vinegar and herby with thyme, but I’m thinking a big hit of spice could work rather well too for another time.
