Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cremini or button mushrooms
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 30 ml Red wine vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 15 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 250 ml Water
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp cloth or rinsing briefly under cold water. Trim the stems if needed.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine water, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to combine the ingredients.
Add the mushrooms to the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have absorbed the marinade.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mushrooms to cool in the marinade for 10 minutes.
Transfer the mushrooms and marinade to a serving bowl or an airtight container. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld fully.
Before serving, bring the mushrooms to room temperature and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve as a side dish, salad topping, or appetizer with crusty bread.
