Servings: 8 people, as a side
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby bella mushrooms
- Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons minced shallots (from about 2 large shallots)
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves
- 1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Boil the mushrooms. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Season generously with salt. Add the mushrooms and turn the heat down to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then drain well.
- While the mushrooms cook: Make the marinade. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shallot, garlic, parsley, thyme, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, and a big pinch of salt. Whisk as you slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil. Taste and adjust the salt to your liking.
- Marinate the mushrooms. Add the warm mushrooms and toss to coat. Cover and let sit for at least 15 minutes, or in your refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes
- I used baby bella mushrooms, also called cremini mushrooms, but you can use white button mushrooms.
- Be sure to toss the mushrooms in the marinade while they are warm so they soak up more of the flavor.
- For best flavor, make the marinated mushrooms one night ahead of serving and let them sit in the fridge, toss them occasionally to evenly distribute flavor.
- Store marinated mushrooms with their marinade in a tightly closed jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. Shake the jar occasionally to evenly coat the mushrooms in the marinade. In the oil solidifies, simply let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
