Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g button mushrooms
- 1 L water
- 150 ml white vinegar
- 50 ml sunflower oil
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 10 g fresh dill
- 10 black peppercorns
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or rinse them briefly under cool water, then pat dry with a paper towel. Trim off any blemished parts and cut larger mushrooms in half for uniform size, leaving smaller ones whole.
In a large pot, bring the water, white vinegar, bay leaves, black peppercorns, salt, and sugar to a boil.
Add the mushrooms to the boiling mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still firm. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
While the mushrooms are cooking, finely chop the fresh dill and slice the garlic cloves thinly.
Once the mushrooms are done cooking, drain them well in a colander, discarding the bay leaves but retaining the peppercorns.
Transfer the drained mushrooms to a mixing bowl. Add the sunflower oil, fresh dill, and sliced garlic. Stir gently to coat the mushrooms evenly with the marinade.
Allow the mushrooms to cool slightly, then transfer them to a clean, lidded glass jar or container. Pour any residual marinade over the mushrooms to submerge them fully.
Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the marinated mushrooms chilled as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a flavorful charcuterie board.
