Frequently asked

Should I remove the gills?+

Optional — removing them looks cleaner and tastes milder, but they're perfectly edible.

No grill?+

A hot grill pan or a 425°F oven both work; the oven takes about 15 minutes, flipping once.

What do I serve with them?+

They're burger-ready in a bun, great over polenta, or sliced into a grain bowl with whatever is in season.
