11447 Marinated Mushrooms 40 mins, plus marinating time 10 mins About 6 servings Wed Mar 05 16:40:00 -0800 2008 Tue Oct 20 14:06:08 -0700 2009 Easy Cal-Med CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11447 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:06:08 GMT The longer these fungi sit the better The longer these fungi sit in their lemon and herb marinade the better. An antipasti plate is one of the most low-effort and delicious ways to warm up a crowd before a meal, especially if you include these mushrooms. Serve an assortment of purchased cured meats and breadsticks with some homemade snacks like our Marinated Bocconcini and these lightly tangy and herby mushrooms. True to the nature of marination, these fungi get better with age, so make them a few days ahead for the best flavor. And if there happen to be leftovers, try them in a salad or sandwich.

Game plan: Because of all the olive oil in the marinade, the mixture will solidify in the fridge. To serve, just remove the mushrooms from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes ahead and let them come to room temperature so the oil liquifies again.

These mushrooms will last up to 10 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
