  • Mushrooms
  • Garlic
  • Fresh Curly Leaf Parsley
  • Lemon, Juice Of
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Mazing Mushrooms

  1. If using button mushrooms (about 1 pound), leave them whole. If using field mushrooms (about 1 pound), slice them fairly thinly.
  2. In a large serving bowl, combine the mushrooms with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Toss gently to coat the mushrooms evenly with the dressing.
  4. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tartness or olive oil for richness. The dressing should be slightly tart.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, tossing occasionally to ensure even flavor distribution.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
