Ingredients

• 500 grams Button mushrooms
• 120 ml Olive oil
• 60 ml Red wine vinegar
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 240 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by brushing off any dirt with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if needed.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the mushrooms and blanch them for 3 minutes. Drain the mushrooms in a colander and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh parsley, thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Step 6

Place the slightly cooled mushrooms into an airtight container or a mixing bowl. Pour the olive oil and vinegar mixture over the mushrooms. Toss gently to coat.

Step 7

Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 8

Before serving, let the mushrooms come to room temperature and give them a gentle stir. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
