Ingredients

  • 14 ounces whole mushrooms (3-3½ cups chopped)
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 4-5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼-⅓ cup fresh chopped Italian parsley

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl combine the chopped mushrooms and salt. Cover the bowl lightly with a tea towel and let sit for 1-1½ hours. Then drain and squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the mushrooms.
  2. If you prefer a milder mushroom taste, then in the medium bowl combine the chopped mushrooms and 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice (no salt), let sit for an hour, then add 1 teaspoon of salt, mix and let sit for another 30- 45 minutes. Then drain and squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the mushrooms.
  3. Place the mushrooms in a clean bowl and toss with the olive oil, 1-1½ tablespoons of lemon juice* and the fresh chopped Italian parsley. Let sit 20-30 minutes for flavours to blend. Serve with bruschetta or crusty bread.
  4. *If you make the milder mushrooms then you might want to omit the extra lemon juice or add just a bit.

Notes

  • Store-bought mushrooms including white button mushrooms or brown baby bellas mushrooms are what I use most often. You can also use cremini mushrooms, portobello mushrooms or even shitake if you would like. 
  • Provided you don’t eat them all right away (they are that good!), you can store them refrigerated in an airtight container for 5 days. The flavor will continue to develop making them so addictive! Do not freeze marinated mushrooms.
