Recipe Easy Marinated Mushrooms

[winterybella]

I don't know if this is something I would make but it sure is worth adding to the Cookingbites Challenge.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound cremini mushrooms
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• 1 bay leaf
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook mushrooms just until tender, about 3-4 minutes; drain well.
2. In a large bowl, combine mushrooms, olive oil, vinegar, red onion, garlic, sugar, oregano, peppercorns, red pepper flakes and bay leaf; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Transfer to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to 5 days.
4. Serve at room temperature, garnished with parsley, if desired.

This is really a 'pickled' mushrooms recipe, which delights me! Serve as part of a Meze alongside cold meats or fish and other vegetables. I'm going to make this recipe and report back.

OK. I made this today. I'll report back tomorrow after it has been allowed to marinate! I will also try to take a photo.

I have never had mushrooms this way but I would definitely like to give them a try.
There is no doubt in my mind that they would be good. I bookmarked this recipe so
I can make some. I can almost taste them now!! Great recipe!!

Here they are!

I was a bit sceptical about boiling the mushrooms first. Most advice says 'don't boil mushrooms!'. I've made pickled or marinated mushrooms before but they are usually cooked in the pickling solution. However, I followed the recipe to the letter except for the fact I used chopped fresh chilli rather than chilli flakes. It is a very easy recipe as long as you have the ingredients to hand. Unfortunately, I have a horrible cold at the moment, so I can't really taste much! I will report back when I've carried out taste tests on the family.
