Marinated Mushrooms

there's a fungus among us

Mary Sharon

Here's my mom ca. 1989, isn't she pretty?
She's a darn good cook, too.   I spent a lot of time watching and learning from her growing up.  One of the first recipes I appropriated from her is for marinated mushrooms.  According to her the original recipe was sourced from the 1979 Cr***o Oil Salad lover's Cookbook  (I'm not sure about copyright stuff, so we'll be cagey, ok?)

You will need:

2 # small button mushrooms, washed and trimmed.
1/4 C salad oil
3 T red wine vinegar
1/3 C tomato juice
1 t salt
1 t paprika
1/2 t ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced

Place the mushrooms in a large jar or plastic storage container and cover with the other ingredients.  Mix well.  Store in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours turning several times for best flavor.

YUM!  (we're having some tomorrow, jealous?)
