Ingredients

• 250 grams Cremini or white button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently brushing off any dirt. If needed, use a damp cloth or paper towel. Avoid rinsing them under water as they can become waterlogged.

Step 2

Slice the mushrooms thinly and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme (if using), salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the sliced mushrooms and toss gently to ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Allow the mushrooms to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.

Step 6

Before serving, give the mushrooms a quick toss to redistribute the marinade. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired.

Step 7

Serve the marinated mushrooms chilled or at room temperature. They make an excellent topping for salads, crostini, or as part of a charcuterie board.
