Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 60 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 30 milliliters red wine vinegar
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 240 milliliters water
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel or using a soft brush to remove any dirt. Trim off the stems if necessary, leaving the mushrooms whole.
Bring a medium pot of water (240 milliliters) to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the mushrooms to the boiling water and blanch them for 5 minutes.
Drain the mushrooms and set them aside to cool slightly while preparing the marinade.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Once the mushrooms have cooled enough to handle, add them to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mushrooms and marinade to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to develop. For best results, marinate overnight.
Before serving, give the mushrooms a quick toss to redistribute the marinade. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or appetizer.
