Hi everyone, Jess here. What to do when getting to your fresh mushrooms is not going to happen? Try marinating them!
Here’s a quick and simple recipe, If you ‘re going to teat these puppies within a day or two, no cooking is necessary! I especially wanted to go no-cook because I’m working with a very delicate herb today, Johnny Putt’s micro basil.
The marinade is flexible in ingredients, sugar and vinegar can be adjusted slightly to taste.
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces button mushrooms (Scrubbed and ends trimmed)
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp EVOO
- 3 tablespoons micro basil (or whatever herbs tickle your fancy
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and quartered lenghtwise
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Gently pack your mushrooms in a clean mason jar, layering herbs and garlic pieces in between.
Combine remaining ingredients whisking until dissolved and pour over mushrooms. Marinate overnight for best results (if you can’t wait, it’s ok).
If you are not going to get to you mushrooms right away, might I suggest this recipe from Food 52 that involves a just a bit of stove prep. I haven’t had the pleasure of testing it yet, but I’ll update this page once I do! Hope you like this one. As always, if you try it, let me know your adaptations and how things came out!
