Marinated button mushrooms

6 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1poundsLarge button mushrooms
½cupOlive oil
2tablespoonsLemon juice
2tablespoonsWhite wine vinegar
3Garlic cloves; peeled and crushed
2tablespoonsChopped fresh parsley
1teaspoonDried whole oregano
Salt; to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste

Directions

Trim stems off mushrooms and save for another use. Bring large pot of water to a boil and blanch mushrooms for 2 minutes. Remove and drain well. Mix remaining ingredients together in medium-size bowl and add drained mushrooms while they're still hot. Toss together and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, tossing a couple of times while marinating. Serve as an hors d'oeuvre with toothpicks. Serves 6 to 8 as an appetizer.

Comments: I love these things and you will like them much better than those you find premarinated and soaked in too much vinegar in a bottle at the supermarket.
