Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Clean the button mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Trim off any tough stems if needed.
Step 2
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the mushrooms and blanch for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, white vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Once the mushrooms have cooled to the touch, add them to the marinade in the bowl. Toss well to ensure the mushrooms are thoroughly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the marinated mushrooms to a sealable container or a zip-top bag. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld (overnight is ideal for maximum flavor).
Step 6
Before serving, sprinkle the marinated mushrooms with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 7
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, appetizer, or part of an antipasto platter. Enjoy!
