Weds, 7th Feb 2007

I seem to be in the mood for bottling lately (pate, then anchovy dip) and now Italian Marinated Mushrooms.

I saw some really fresh firm large white button mushrooms in SS today and had to buy some to turn into this:









It has olive oil, garlic, onion, thyme, marjoram, paprika, parsley, wholegrain mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt & black pepper in it. The flavours made my head reel.... Once cooled, it will go into the fridge.

mmm, looks nice and the ingredients do complement each other. So do you eat those on its on or you use it for bbq/grilled stuff?* my guess*, never had this before :(

Hello AD & Pablo - I'll serve it cold with pita bread on the side. The mushrooms are sitting in quite a bit of by now highly aromatic olive oil so you dip the pita in some the oil and top it with a mushroom. This also appears as part of a anti pasto platter in some restaurants. Or as a salad with some mixed green lettuce.

Nice. These remind of sundried pickled aubergine slices that I would have with my mix meat sandwich from the European deli nearby when I used to live in Australia.

I've just had a quick taste - hmmmm, pretty good - the mushrooms are still firm and the sauce/oil is just bursting with flavour, a little went a long way.
