ABOUT Tangy Marinated Mushroom Salad RECIPE

Tender succulent mushrooms, boiled in a vinegar water bath and marinated in a delicious marinade with oil, lots of garlic, fresh green chilis/jalapenos and crushed dried red chilies— a terrific tangy and spicy appetizer for any occasion.

Ingredients Serving: 3

500 gm button mushrooms
6 to 7 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced (or more!)
2 to 3 tbsp vinegar (more if you like your salad tangy)
2 tsp salt
3 to 4 tbsp or more olive oil/any salad oil (just enough to coat the salad)
2 tsp crushed red pepper
2 jalapenos/Serrano peppers/green chilies, finely chopped
Additional salt if needed

Instructions

Rinse mushrooms thoroughly and gently rub off residue. Cut each mushroom into quarters, the large ones into 6 pieces.
In a small bowl, mix oil, just enough to coat the mushroom, minced jalapenos/green chillies, minced garlic, crushed red pepper and ½ tsp salt. Keep aside.
Place water in a large pot along with vinegar and salt and bring to boil. Once the water comes to a boil, add the chopped mushrooms and cook uncovered, at rolling boil for 3 minutes. The mushrooms reduce in size drastically.
Immediately, drain them into a colander; once drained, do not rinse or run cold water over it!Ttransfer them to a bowl. While they are hot, pour marinade over them. Adjust the amount of oil.
Toss lightly but thoroughly. Add salt if necessary. Adjust spices and seasonings according to taste. Mix well and refrigerate covered for at least 4 hours; flavors develop over time. Stir mushrooms occasionally to distribute the marinade.
Adjust seasonings if needed again to get desired flavor. The longer the mushrooms are marinated, the more piquant the taste.
Remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving to enjoy the best flavor! These tangy, spicy marinated mushrooms taste great as a salad, over toast, on crackers or in bruschettas!
Store leftovers, if any, in the refrigerator in a closed container.
