Bursting with bold Mediterranean-inspired flavors, these Quick and Easy Zesty Marinated Mushrooms are the ultimate no-fuss recipe for a healthy and savory side dish or appetizer. Tender button mushrooms are blanched and bathed in a vibrant marinade of olive oil, white vinegar, zesty lemon juice, minced garlic, and a medley of herbs and spices, including oregano and red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. With just 10 minutes of prep time, this make-ahead dish is perfect for entertaining or weeknight meals. Serve these tangy, herbaceous mushrooms chilled or at room temperature, topped with fresh parsley for a pop of freshness. Theyβre an ideal addition to antipasto platters or a flavorful accompaniment to your favorite main courses.
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!
