Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Button mushrooms
- 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 2 pcs Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Fresh basil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
1. Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them briefly under cool water. Pat them dry and cut larger mushrooms in half (leave smaller ones whole).
2. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water and carefully drop in the mushrooms.
3. Cook the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain the mushrooms and allow them to cool completely.
4. While the mushrooms are cooling, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley and basil.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper.
6. Once the mushrooms have cooled, add them to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to coat the mushrooms evenly.
7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the marinated mushrooms for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Serve chilled as an appetizer or side dish.
