How to Make Marinated Mushrooms

Making marinated mushrooms only requires a few simple ingredients and a couple of easy steps. Below, find a quick hitter overview of the recipe before you dive in.

• Boil the Mushrooms: In a large pot, combine water with vinegar, salt, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes. Drain the mushrooms using a colander.
• Make the Marinade: Cut the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. In a saucepan, bring water, salt, sugar, bay leaves, and peppercorns to a boil. Add the vinegar, bell pepper, and onion once the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Remove from heat.

• Marinate Overnight: Seal the jars and let the mushrooms marinate overnight. Serve and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Marinated Mushrooms

Find a collection of tips and tricks to help you make the best marinated mushrooms below.

• Use fresh herbs versus dried herbs. Fresh herbs pack so much more flavor than dried and will elevate the flavor of your marinated mushrooms.
• Feel free to mix up the marinade seasoning. If you like it spicy, add some red pepper flakes. If you are a huge garlic fan, add a couple more cloves. Make these mushrooms your own!
• Store marinated mushrooms in a sealable canning jar. To keep your mushrooms fresher longer, store them in a sealable canning jar. This will also prevent them from soaking up any smells hanging out in your refrigerator.

Serving Marinated Mushrooms

Serve marinated mushrooms alongside cured meats, cheeses, and crackers on an antipasto or charcuterie board. They pair especially well with tangy, soft cheeses. Herbed goat cheese immediately comes to mind. Marinated mushrooms are also an awesome topper for grilled ribeyes steaks (don’t forget to sprinkle on some blue cheese too!). And don’t forget – you can always eat them straight out of the jar for a healthy, low-calorie snack!

Storing Marinated Mushrooms

The best way to store marinated mushrooms is to keep them refrigerated in a glass jar. These mushrooms can be refrigerated for up to two weeks. Note: Marinated mushrooms do not freeze well. Only make what you can eat within a couple of weeks.
