Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Cremini or white button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt. If needed, use a damp cloth or paper towel. Avoid rinsing them under water as they can become waterlogged.
Slice the mushrooms thinly and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme (if using), salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the sliced mushrooms and toss gently to ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Allow the mushrooms to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
Before serving, give the mushrooms a quick toss to redistribute the marinade. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired.
Serve the marinated mushrooms chilled or at room temperature. They make an excellent topping for salads, crostini, or as part of a charcuterie board.
