Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms
• 6 pieces Garlic cloves
• 60 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
• 30 milliliters White wine vinegar
• 15 grams Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 10 milliliters Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat 30 milliliters (half) of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly browned.

Step 4

Remove the mushrooms from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 30 milliliters of olive oil, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, fresh parsley (finely chopped), thyme leaves, red chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk together to create the marinade.

Step 6

Once the mushrooms have cooled slightly, add them to the marinade. Toss well to ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the mushrooms and marinade to an airtight container. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 8

Before serving, give the mushrooms a gentle stir. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a flavorful appetizer or side dish. Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
