Mushroom Monday Challenge

I love getting emails from all of you about Mushroom Monday recipes, but today I was lucky enough to receive a handwritten recipe from Mary E. in London, Ontario.

She wanted to share her tried, tested and true pickled mushroom recipe with everyone...

Quick Pickled Mushrooms

1 pkg mushrooms
1/2 cup oil
3 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup table salt
2 cloves chopped garlic
Fresh Basil
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Wipe mushrooms and trim stems. Combine with ingredients in a glass, stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Cover and cook mushrooms for 8-10 minutes. Chill in marinade. Makes about 1 pint for immediate use.

She also noted that she has tried this recipe with portabellas, and even added some chopped red peppers (but preferred it without.)

Thanks Mary for sharing your favourite recipe with us!
