Ingredients

  • 24 ounces cremini mushrooms
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds whole or
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic (peeled)
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 1/2 strips fresh lemon rind (white pith cut away)
  • 4 tablespoon dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar (I use aged white vinegar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil for finishing

Instructions

  • Trim ends of mushrooms, wipe the mushrooms with a damp towel to clean. Cut large mushrooms in half; mushrooms should be similar in size. Alternately, thickly slice the mushrooms.
    Add 2 tablespoons to a large skillet, I use All Clad. Set heat to meduim high. Add all the mushrooms, quickly toss to coat and let the mushrooms brown around the edges. Stir up - let brown again, not stirring. Repeat this 4 times, until mushrooms are golden around all edges.
  • Add the next 5 spices - chili flakes, fennel, thyme, oregano, pepper and the garlic. Cook, stirring over medium-low heat to toast the spices.
    Add the rosemary sprigs and lemon rind, stir to incorporate.
  • Add the wine, vinegar and sea salt. Bring to a boil, toss all and turn heat off. Let the mushrooms marinate with all ingredients.
  • Lastly, add lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil.
    Add to a bowl to fit and let marinate. Cover when cool and refrigerate. Mushrooms are ready to enjoy, yet their flavor enhances the next day. Serve with plenty of coarsely chopped parsley.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve the mushrooms with all their juices over toasted bread, such as ciabatta.
    A wonderful appetizer - use as part of a tapas display.
    Add to warm cooked pasta and let marinate together.
