Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms
- 80 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 60 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 15 ml Red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 10 grams Fresh parsley
- 5 grams Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 500 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them briefly under cold water. Pat them dry and trim the stems if needed.
Step 2
Bring 500ml of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then add the mushrooms to the boiling water. Cook for about 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, remaining salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 4
Chop the parsley and dill finely and stir them into the marinade.
Step 5
Once the mushrooms have cooled slightly, add them to the marinade. Toss well to ensure all mushrooms are evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the marinated mushrooms to a clean jar or airtight container. Pour any remaining marinade over the top and seal the container.
Step 7
Allow the mushrooms to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld.
Step 8
Before serving, bring the mushrooms to room temperature and garnish with additional parsley or dill if desired. Serve as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a larger spread of Greek-inspired dishes.
