Bruschetta Part 2 - Marinated Mushrooms


This takes a little bit of advance planning but this is super easy and you can just marinate the mushrooms and dump them in your fridge and use them as a cold appetizer as well as put them on your bread and have it as a bruschetta

These are not only healthy but absolutely delightful to taste as well

You will need a sterilized glass Jar or bottle and these mushrooms need to be marinated for an hour and can last for upto a week in the refridgerator

You also need to wash the mushrooms and dry them very well with first a cloth and then a paper towel as the mushrooms need to be as dry as possible for the marination

Ingredients:
250 gm Mushrooms (one packet)
1 tsp plus 5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
2 sprigs fresh Rosemary (sometimes I just put dried mixed herbs in there when I don't want to especially buy rosemary only for Mushrooms)
1 Bay Leaf
5 peppercorns
2 large cloves Garlic (or 3 medium - small) chopped
2 red Chilies (whole if you like it mild, just slit in the centre if you want it medium, chopped fine if you like it hot)
2 tbsp Parsley (I sometimes replace this with coriander and it works really well too!) Chopped
Salt to taste

Take a teaspoon of olive oil in a non stick pan and fry the mushrooms with some salt
Saute it for 5 minutes on a high heat till the liquid of the mushrooms has been evaporated
Drain the Mushrooms in a sieve and let them cool off
Now put all the ingredients including the mushrooms into a jar and seal
Put in the refrigerator and store for at least an hour before serving
