Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Trim off any tough stems if needed.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the mushrooms and blanch for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, white vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Once the mushrooms have cooled to the touch, add them to the marinade in the bowl. Toss well to ensure the mushrooms are thoroughly coated.
Transfer the marinated mushrooms to a sealable container or a zip-top bag. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld (overnight is ideal for maximum flavor).
Before serving, sprinkle the marinated mushrooms with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, appetizer, or part of an antipasto platter. Enjoy!
