• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or rinsing them briefly under cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel and trim the stems if necessary.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the shallots, then peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, water, sliced shallots, crushed garlic, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, salt, and black peppercorns.

Step 4

Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to gently simmer.

Step 5

Add the mushrooms to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly in the marinade.

Step 6

Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook the mushrooms for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have absorbed the marinade’s flavors.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mushrooms cool to room temperature in the marinade.

Step 8

Transfer the mushrooms and marinade to a glass container or jar. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.

Step 9

Serve the marinated mushrooms chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer, side dish, or salad topping.
