Steps:

• Boil vinegar and water.
• Wash, clean mushrooms. If small, leave whole. If large, cut and quarter, slice them so they are not too big.
• Cook for 5 minutes.
• Drain liquid. I like to squeeze out some of the liquid out of mushrooms. Place in quart size glass jar, add garlic, spices and drizzle of oil. Shake it up and refrigerate. Can stay up to two weeks if they last that long.

EASY MARINATED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a large pot, add water (just need enough water that will cover the mushrooms) and the lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
• While you bring the lemon water to a boil, clean and wash mushrooms.
• Trim off the stems. If you have some larger mushrooms like I did, cut the larger ones in half (the mushrooms do shrink when you boil them in the water, so don't cut the smaller ones)put them in a large pot.
• When the lemon water has come to a boil, carefully add the mushrooms. Let them boil for about 5 minutes (you don't want to boil them until they're super soft, just a quick boil).
• While the mushrooms are doing their quick boil, bring the marinate to a boil.
• In a small pot, add the olive oil, vinegar, garlic cloves, salt, oregano, dried parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and let boil for about 3 minutes (should be about same time as it takes to boil the mushrooms, it's ok if it goes over a minute or two). When it's boiled for a few minutes, remove from heat so you can deal with the mushrooms.
• Remove the garlic cloves from the olive oil marinate and reserve in a small plate.
• Drain the mushrooms in a colander. Spoon them into your canning jars (or whatever container you are storing them in)add a garlic clove to each jar, and leave about 1/2 inch of headspace on the top.
• When you have your mushrooms ready in the jars, stir the marinade together and carefully pour the olive oil marinade over the mushrooms in the jars, being sure to leave that 1/2 inch of headspace on the top.
• Cover, using lids and store them in the refrigerator. They can be stored in the refrigerator up to two weeks.
• Serve at room temperature.
• Use the marinated mushrooms in salads, antipasto, pasta salad, or just enjoy straight from the jar.

EASY ITALIAN MUSHROOM FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan add olive oil, mushrooms, salt, garlic, chopped Italian parsley, hot pepper flakes and water. Cook on medium heat for approximately 20-25 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and water has evaporated.
• While mushrooms are cooking cook the fettuccine in boiling salted water until al dente, drain then add to the cooked mushrooms along with half a ladle of pasta water. Cook on medium heat while tossing until water has evaporated and becomes almost creamy. Serve immediately. Top with freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese if desired. Enjoy!

SLOW COOKER ITALIAN MUSHROOMS RECIPE

ZESTY MARINATED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Carefully wash the mushrooms and trim the stems so they are no longer than 1/4-inch from the mushroom cap. Use the stems in another recipe or compost them. You can cut the larger mushrooms in half if you wish, but it is not strictly necessary.
• Add the mushrooms to a large stainless steel stockpot with the lemon juice and cover the mushrooms with fresh water. Bring to a boil.
• When it reaches a boil, set your timer and let it boil for 5 minutes.
• Drain the mushrooms and load them into half-pint jars leaving 1/2 inch of headspace in each jar.
• In another saucepan, stir together the white wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic cloves, salt, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Fish the garlic from the boiling brine and tuck 1 clove into the mushrooms in each jar.
• Stir the vinegar and oil dressing well and ladle over the mushrooms in the jars, maintaining the 1/2 inch of headspace.
• Moisten a paper towel with vinegar and use that to wipe the rims of the jars clean.
• Fix jar lids in place and tighten appropriately.
• Use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a canner full of boiling water that covers the jars by 2 inches.
• Put the lid of the canner in place, return the water to a boil, and process for 20 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the jars to a towel-lined counter or wire cooling rack and allow them to cool completely, preferably overnight, before removing the rings, wiping the jars clean and labeling.
• Use the marinated mushrooms in salads, antipasto, or just enjoy straight from the jar.
