Simple Marinated Mushrooms
These are a terrific appetizer to make ahead. Be sure to have some sliced baguette available for dunking in the drippings.

Ingredients
- 1 pound (about 24) fresh white button mushrooms ((bite-sized), cleaned)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 1 large garlic clove, (minced)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, (crushed)
Steps
-
Place water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
-
Trim the mushrooms by cutting off a thin slice of the stem of each mushroom. Drop the mushrooms into boiling water and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes; do not boil. Drain the mushrooms and cover with cold water. Let stand until cool. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, oregano and red pepper flakes. Add the mushrooms to the olive oil mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until well coated. Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours or longer, stirring occasionally (overnight is even better). TIP: You can also marinate the mushrooms in a large zip bag. I prefer to do it this way since it's so easy to turn the bag and redistribute the marinade.
-
When ready to serve, drain the mushrooms from the marinade (reserving a little bit of the marinade) and place the mushrooms on a platter with toothpicks for serving. Drizzle some of the reserved marinade on top
