Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Button mushrooms
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 60 milliliters White wine vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (for garnish)
- 120 milliliters Water
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them quickly under cold water; pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic cloves (crushed but left whole) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let them brown.
Add the cleaned mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to release their own juices.
Stir in the white wine vinegar, water, fresh thyme sprigs, bay leaf, black peppercorns, salt, sugar, and red chili flakes (if using).
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have absorbed the flavors.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the mushrooms cool completely in the marinade.
Transfer the mushrooms along with their marinade into a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to deepen.
Before serving, discard the thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and garlic cloves. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer, side dish, or topping for crusty bread.
