Description

These Marinated Fresh Mushrooms are the perfect blend of earthy and bright flavors. The key lies in the vibrant marinade, combining olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and aromatic tarragon to create a zesty dressing that penetrates the porous mushrooms. The garlic adds a subtle pungency that balances the acidity. Ideal for summer gatherings, wine nights, or as a refreshing starter to a Mediterranean meal, they require no cooking&# 226;ÂÂjust time to let the flavors meld. The result is a tender, juicy bite that is both elegant and simple. Serve them chilled or at room temperature for maximum flavor impact.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove the stems from the mushrooms.
  2. Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp paper towel.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, tarragon, and crushed garlic.
  4. Whisk the mixture vigorously until well blended and emulsified.
  5. Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the marinade.
  6. Let the mushrooms stand at room temperature for at least 3 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate.
  7. Alternatively, cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 2 days for a deeper flavor.
  8. Before serving, remove from refrigerator if chilled and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  9. Drain off excess marinade from the mushrooms.
  10. Arrange mushrooms on a serving platter, garnishing with cherry tomatoes and pitted ripe olives if desired.
