Ingredients
- 500 g button mushrooms
- 1 L water
- 150 ml white vinegar
- 50 ml sunflower oil
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 10 g fresh dill
- 10 black peppercorns
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or rinse them briefly under cool water, then pat dry with a paper towel. Trim off any blemished parts and cut larger mushrooms in half for uniform size, leaving smaller ones whole.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring the water, white vinegar, bay leaves, black peppercorns, salt, and sugar to a boil.
Step 3
Add the mushrooms to the boiling mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still firm. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
While the mushrooms are cooking, finely chop the fresh dill and slice the garlic cloves thinly.
Step 5
Once the mushrooms are done cooking, drain them well in a colander, discarding the bay leaves but retaining the peppercorns.
Step 6
Transfer the drained mushrooms to a mixing bowl. Add the sunflower oil, fresh dill, and sliced garlic. Stir gently to coat the mushrooms evenly with the marinade.
Step 7
Allow the mushrooms to cool slightly, then transfer them to a clean, lidded glass jar or container. Pour any residual marinade over the mushrooms to submerge them fully.
Step 8
Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve the marinated mushrooms chilled as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a flavorful charcuterie board.
