Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms
- 120 ml Olive oil
- 60 ml Red wine vinegar
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 240 ml Water
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by brushing off any dirt with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if needed.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the mushrooms and blanch them for 3 minutes. Drain the mushrooms in a colander and set aside to cool slightly.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh parsley, thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Place the slightly cooled mushrooms into an airtight container or a mixing bowl. Pour the olive oil and vinegar mixture over the mushrooms. Toss gently to coat.
Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Before serving, let the mushrooms come to room temperature and give them a gentle stir. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
