\"Marinated<\/p>\n

Cute button mushrooms soaked and bathed in olive oil, seasoned with herbs and\u00a0spices all ready to be picked up and popped. These are so totally awesome!<\/p>\n

Inspiration for these cute mushrooms is from One Perfect Bite<\/a>. I saw Mary’s post and made them the next day with some changes of my own. The mushroom lovers out there – you gotta try this out. Serve them as hors d’ oeuvres, or as a\u00a0 side dish, with potatoes or green salad, pasta or grilled meat.<\/p>\n

Marinated Mushrooms<\/h2>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 1\u20442 Cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. 1 lb. Cremini or Button Mushrooms, stemmed<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. 2 Tablespoons White Wine Vinegar<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. 1\u20444 Cup Roasted Red Peppers or Pimento, chopped
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. 1\u20442 tsp. fresh Thyme Leaves<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. 1\/2 Teaspoons Dried Oregano<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. 2-3\u00a0 Cloves Garlic, roughly minced<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. 2 Green Hot Peppers, Chopped (Optional)
    \n<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    Heat oil in a skillet\/pan over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n

    Add all the other ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are just soft, 4-6 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Transfer mushrooms to a non reactive bowl; cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours for the flavors to deepen.<\/p>\n

    Use them up within a few days; tastes best when the mushrooms still retain the crunch. Serve chilled, warm, or at room temperature.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    I liked the heat in this recipe along with the other flavors that came from the hot chilli peppers I added. I you do not want the fiery kick, feel free to leave it out. With or without the hot peppers, it is an enticing diet friendly dish; sure to become a fast favorite with vegetarians and the non vegetarians.<\/p>\n
