A delightful recipe for marinated mushrooms with a Mediterranean twist, perfect as a side dish or appetizer.
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the oil and garlic.
Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from browning too much.
Stir in the coriander seed, thyme, oregano, and black pepper, cooking for another minute.
This step helps release the flavors of the spices.
Pour in the red wine vinegar and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Simmering helps meld the flavors together.
Add the mushrooms, cover, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
Ensure all mushrooms are evenly coated with the marinade.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl or airtight container and let it cool.
Cooling allows the flavors to settle.
Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
The longer the mushrooms marinate, the more flavorful they become.
Serve the marinated mushrooms chilled or at room temperature.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
