Recipe: Herb-Marinated Mushrooms
For this low-maintenance marinated mushroom appetizer, we packed in tons of flavor, but kept the ingredient list nice and short. The best part about serving marinated mushrooms as a holiday appetizer is that it can be made a week in advance and tucked away in the back of your fridge until you are ready to serve.
These herby mushrooms can be served after a few hours of making them, but are really the tastiest after they’ve been marinating in the vinegar and olive oil for a couple days. Just be sure to take the bowl out of the fridge and let the mushrooms reach room temperature before serving.
