Marinated Mushrooms



As you have already guessed, I am getting up every morning and thinking " what should I marinate today???" oh no.... really my one and only intention is making another addition to our antipasto platter. Of course you have a huge selection of ingredients to place in your platter but since I will skip decorating the plate with processed meat; I want to make an addition on the "vegetarian" side. I used two different recipes, one for canned mushrooms and the other for the fresh ones. The key for success is using extra virgin olive oil and good quality vinegar as well as fresh ingredients.

For the white mushrooms on the left:
  • 1 can of mushrooms ( 250 gr)
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic, mashed
Whisk all the ingredients and pour over strained mushrooms. The original recipe recommends using garlic salt but because of the preservatives they include; I replaced it with ordinary salt and add a clove of garlic instead. You can also add oregano or slivered parsley leaves. Mushrooms will ve ready to eat after 24 hours.











For fresh mushrooms on the right:

  • 500 grs small button mushrooms
  • 1 cup (240ml) red wine
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablesppon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves of garlic, mashed
Place all the ingredients in a small pot and bring to a boil. I had pretty bigger mushrooms that I bought for stuffing. I had to slice them to use in this recipe but you can have a better presentation with small ones. Take the pot from the flame as soon as it boils, cover and let cool. It will be ready to eat when it reaches the room temperature. Fresh oregano or parsley leaves are both recommended for better flavour. Serve cool or as it is. Bon apetito!
