Method to make:

1-    Preheat broiler. Place mushrooms, stem side down, on rack over a broiler pan.

Brush generously with oil and broil until slightly soft. Move to a bowl and stir in remaining ingredients. Marinate at least two hours.

2-    Preheat the broiler. Line a broiling pan or shallow baking pan with the rock salt or a layer of crushed foil. Cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise, then lengthwise. In a small bowl, mix the parsley with the garlic.

Tip:
To prepare mushrooms, gently clean with a damp paper towel or wash under cold water and pat dry. Trim or remove stems.
