Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms
- 80 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 60 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 15 ml Red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 10 grams Fresh parsley
- 5 grams Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 500 ml Water
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them briefly under cold water. Pat them dry and trim the stems if needed.
Bring 500ml of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then add the mushrooms to the boiling water. Cook for about 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, remaining salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Chop the parsley and dill finely and stir them into the marinade.
Once the mushrooms have cooled slightly, add them to the marinade. Toss well to ensure all mushrooms are evenly coated.
Transfer the marinated mushrooms to a clean jar or airtight container. Pour any remaining marinade over the top and seal the container.
Allow the mushrooms to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld.
Before serving, bring the mushrooms to room temperature and garnish with additional parsley or dill if desired. Serve as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a larger spread of Greek-inspired dishes.
