Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Button mushrooms
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small Jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 120 milliliters Water
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms thoroughly and trim any tough ends. Slice the mushrooms into quarters or halves depending on their size.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moon shapes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown lightly.
Add the red onion slices to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. If using, stir in the diced jalapeño.
Pour the warm mushroom and onion mixture into the bowl with the marinade. Add 120 milliliters of water to the mixture and toss everything together until well combined.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For even better flavor, cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, give the mixture a gentle toss and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve as a side dish, taco topping, or with crusty bread for a light appetizer. Enjoy!
