Marinated Mushrooms

Marinated Mushrooms are so easy to make and are just as easy to eat. This mushroom appetizer is cooked and marinated in a vinegar and oil mixture that is seasoned with mustard and parsley.

You can vary the ingredients to suit your taste. If you are a garlic lover like me then add a clove of garlic to the marinade. You can also add some Tarragon or Basil. For those of you who like a kick to their fungus, go ahead and add a few pinches of red pepper flakes.

This recipe can be made ahead of time. I make ours at least a week before the party to give the mushrooms extra marinating time.

Marinated Mushroom Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb fresh mushrooms or canned whole mushrooms, drained
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable or olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 T. brown sugar

Preparation:

Clean mushrooms, trimming the end of each stem. Leave the mushrooms whole.
In a saucepan, mix the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
Add mushrooms and simmer 5-6 minutes or until the mushrooms appear darker in color.
Remove and let cool. Then chill in a covered bowl, stirring occasionally.
Drain and serve.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
