Description
A deliciously marinated cremini mushroom dish that can be served as an appetizer or side.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12–16 oz cremini mushrooms, cleaned with stems on
- 4 garlic cloves, divided (2 smashed, 2 minced)
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme, plus 1 tsp chopped leaves, divided
- 1 small sprig fresh rosemary
- 2 bay leaves, divided
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt (for poaching water)
- 1/4 cup finely diced shallot
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tbsp red vinegar
- 3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/4–1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2–1 cup quartered artichoke hearts
- 1–2 tsp lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a medium pot with 4–5 cups of water. Add the smashed garlic, thyme sprigs, rosemary, and 1 bay leaf. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir in 1/2 tsp salt. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3–5 minutes, just until they begin to soften. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large non-metal bowl, combine the minced garlic, remaining bay leaf, shallot, olive oil, white vinegar, red vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper, chopped thyme, parsley, red onion, and artichoke hearts. Whisk until the mixture is evenly blended.
- Add the warm mushrooms to the bowl and gently coat them in the marinade. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding lemon juice if you’d like extra brightness. Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes; for deeper flavor, chill 8 hours or overnight. Stir occasionally. They will keep for up to 10 days.
- Let the mushrooms come to room temperature before serving. Adjust seasoning if needed and garnish with additional parsley.
