Red Wine & Balsamic Marinated Mushrooms

Red Wine & Balsamic Marinated Mushrooms are cooked with garlic and simmered in a mixture of red wine and balsamic vinegar, resulting in tender mushrooms soaked in a tangy, deeply flavored marinade. The dish can be served whole as antipasto, sliced for salads, or on crostini. The marinated mushrooms bring a savory umami component enhanced by the acidity and sweetness of the vinegar and wine.
