     Marinated Mushrooms
Ideal served as a nibble with drinks, as part of an antipasto platter or piled onto bruschetta for lunch.

1 tablespoon olive oil

3000 grams baby button mushrooms, wiped and trimmed

1 cup white wine

2 bay leaves

½ teaspoon dried oregano

2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced

6 whole black peppercorns

2 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar

¼ cup New Zealand extra virgin olive oil

 

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.  Add the mushrooms and cook over a high heat, stirring, for 2 minutes.  Remove the mushrooms and place in a bowl.

 

Add the wine, herbs, garlic and peppercorns to the pan and cook over a high heat for 2 – 3 minutes or until the wine is reduced to approximately half its volume.

 

Remove the pan from the heat, cool for 5 – 10 minutes, then stir in the wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.  Pour the mixture over the mushrooms.  Cover and refrigerate for 3 – 4 hours.  Drain the mushrooms before serving.
