Ingredients

• 500 g Cremini or button mushrooms
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 30 ml Red wine vinegar
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 15 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tsp Dried oregano
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 250 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp cloth or rinsing briefly under cold water. Trim the stems if needed.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine water, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to combine the ingredients.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have absorbed the marinade.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mushrooms to cool in the marinade for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer the mushrooms and marinade to a serving bowl or an airtight container. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.

Step 7

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld fully.

Step 8

Before serving, bring the mushrooms to room temperature and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve as a side dish, salad topping, or appetizer with crusty bread.
