Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Fresh Mushrooms
  • 4 cups Water plus ½ teaspoon salt

Mushroom Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 tablespoons White White Vinegar or your favorite vinegar
  • 1-2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon Crushed Red Chili Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Parsley optional

Instructions

  • Bring the WATER and SALT to a boil in a 3.5 quart saucepan. Meanwhile, trim the stems from the MUSHROOMS and brush off any visible dirt.
  • Add the MUSHROOMS and cook for about 3 minutes, or until tender.
  • Drain the MUSHROOMS in a colander and let cool slightly.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: OLIVE OIL, VINEGAR, GARLIC, ITALIAN SEASONING, RED CHILI PEPPER, SALT, BLACK PEPPER, and optional FRESH PARSLEY.
  • Add the MUSHROOMS to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If chilled, rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving to soften the olive oil and bring the flavors back to life.

Notes

Mushroom options: Use white button, cremini, or baby bella mushrooms. If using portobello mushrooms, slice them into ½ inch strips.
Alternate cooking method: Sauté the mushrooms in olive oil until tender, then marinate as directed.
Vinegar options: Use red wine vinegar for a bolder, tangier flavor or balsamic vinegar for a sweeter, richer finish.
Boost umami: Add a splash of soy sauce for a savory flavor boost.
Add-ins: Add sliced red onion, capers, or olives for added flavor and texture.
