How to Make

1. Prepare the Mushrooms:
   • Start by cleaning your mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems slightly but leave them mostly intact for a beautiful presentation.
2. Marinate:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, white vinegar, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
   • Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the marinade.
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Serve:
   • Remove the mushrooms from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to come to room temperature.
   • Toss them lightly to refresh the coating of the marinade and transfer to a serving dish.

Helpful Tips

• Marinating Time: For the best flavor, let the mushrooms marinate overnight. The longer they sit, the more they soak up all the wonderful flavors.
• Serving Suggestions: These mushrooms are fabulous on their own, but also make a great addition to salads, antipasto platters, or even as a garnish for grilled meats.

Substitutions/Variations

• Vinegar: You can substitute white vinegar with apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar for a different twist.
• Herbs: Feel free to experiment with different herbs like basil or thyme to suit your taste preferences.
