Marinated Mushrooms

Marinated button mushrooms are typically included in an antipasto platter, but they make a great solo starter too. Use your favorite combination of wild or domestic mushrooms and, for a heartier dish, try swapping the white wine for red. These mushrooms will last for up to a week in the refrigerator.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
Two 12-ounce packages button mushrooms, rinsed and patted dry
2 garlic cloves, crushed with the side of a chef’s knife
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Juice from 1 lemon

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 500°F.

    Step 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring once or twice, until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 4 minutes.

    Step 3

    Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 10 minutes, stirring once after 5 minutes.

    Step 4

    Transfer the skillet to the stove top over high heat. Add the white wine and with a wooden spoon scrape up any bits that have clung to the pan. Allow the wine to come to a boil, then add the parsley and lemon juice.

    Step 5

    Transfer the mushrooms along with their cooking liquid to a container and allow to cool. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
