Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Button mushrooms
- 60 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 30 ml White wine vinegar
- 2 small Shallots
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 120 ml Water
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or rinsing them briefly under cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel and trim the stems if necessary.
Peel and thinly slice the shallots, then peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves.
In a medium saucepan, combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, water, sliced shallots, crushed garlic, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, salt, and black peppercorns.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to gently simmer.
Add the mushrooms to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly in the marinade.
Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook the mushrooms for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have absorbed the marinade’s flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mushrooms cool to room temperature in the marinade.
Transfer the mushrooms and marinade to a glass container or jar. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
Serve the marinated mushrooms chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer, side dish, or salad topping.
