Ingredients
- 500 grams oyster mushrooms
- 80 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 50 milliliters white wine vinegar
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 piece lemon, zest only
- 1 liter water
Directions
Step 1
Clean the oyster mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt. Avoid rinsing them with water as they can absorb moisture.
Step 2
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot with 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the oyster mushrooms and blanch them for 3 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the mushrooms and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool, gently squeeze out any excess water without mashing them.
Step 4
Peel the garlic cloves and finely slice them.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic slices, parsley, thyme leaves, oregano, red chili flakes, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Add the blanched oyster mushrooms to the bowl and gently mix everything, ensuring the mushrooms are fully coated in the marinade.
Step 7
Transfer the mushrooms and marinade into a clean, sealable container. Press down lightly to make sure the mushrooms are submerged in the marinade.
Step 8
Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 9
Serve the marinated mushrooms chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer, side dish, or salad topping. Drizzle with a bit of the marinade before serving for added flavor.
