Ingredients
- 500 grams button mushrooms
- 60 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
- 30 milliliters red wine vinegar
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 240 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel or using a soft brush to remove any dirt. Trim off the stems if necessary, leaving the mushrooms whole.
Step 2
Bring a medium pot of water (240 milliliters) to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the mushrooms to the boiling water and blanch them for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the mushrooms and set them aside to cool slightly while preparing the marinade.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Step 5
Once the mushrooms have cooled enough to handle, add them to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mushrooms and marinade to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to develop. For best results, marinate overnight.
Step 7
Before serving, give the mushrooms a quick toss to redistribute the marinade. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or appetizer.
