tasty marinated mushrooms

After a nice long walk around the town a week or so ago, we came back home at about noon and after a quick lunch, got stuck into being 'productive'. 

I decided to do some marinated mushrooms and here is how I do them:

Make sure you have at least two clean glass jars with a wide opening.

You will also need:

canned whole mushrooms 

olive oil

cider vinegar

wine vinegar

garlic

salt and pepper

Italian seasoning and if it is available in your supermarket, the spicy Italian Seasoning is a great addition too.

The above are the items needed, you can decide on the amounts used. Today I used three cans of mushrooms, so will give you those quantities.

Open and drain three cans of mushrooms, place them in the clean glass jars.

Crush 6 gloves of garlic, 4 caps of cider vinegar, 8 caps of wine vinegar, salt and pepper, a teaspoon of Italian Seasoning and 2 cups of light olive oil in a jug. Mix well.

You can place the above ingredients in a blender, but it will make the mix quite 'frothy'. Better to mix with a spoon or fork.

Pour the garlic / oil mix over the drained mushrooms that are in the jars. Leave them stand for at least 24 hours. Longer if possible. Though I do tend to turn them over every few hours to start with. That way I know all the mushrooms are well and truly coated with this delicious olive oil / garlic marinade.

Serve with cheese, crackers or other appetizers and drinks. Make sure you have some toothpicks handy for guests to handle the slippery little mushrooms.

Sit back and enjoy!
