Cecila came up with this combination for actress
Darryl Hannah, a vegetarian who cooks for meat eaters.
The Philippines-inspired cold tomato and lime dressing
is compatible with grilled fish or chicken as well as
mushrooms. To prevent the bamboo skewers from
splintering in the heat of the fire, soak them in cold
water for about half an hour and place them in the
freezer for a few minutes before cooking.

Combine all marinade ingredients in a glass or ceramic
bowl. Add the mushrooms, toss to coat and set aside
to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
