Antipasto platters have become a popular choice for summertime lunches in New Zealand, offering a delightful array of flavors and textures to complement some of the country’s finest wines. This recipe for marinated mushrooms adds a burst of savory goodness to any antipasto spread, making it an ideal choice for gatherings or even a casual weeknight snack.
Ingredients:
- 100g button mushrooms 🍄
- 1-2 cloves garlic 🧄
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice 🍋
- 1/4 cup fresh marjoram leaves
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mushrooms: If the mushrooms are small, leave them whole; otherwise, slice them thinly for optimal marination.
-
Prep the Garlic: Peel the garlic cloves and cut them into slivers, enhancing the infusion of garlic flavor throughout the mushrooms.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the mushrooms, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, fresh marjoram leaves, garlic slivers, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor profile.
-
Marinate: Allow the mushroom mixture to marinate for at least 2 hours, or for best results, marinate overnight. This extended marination time allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more pronounced and delicious final dish.
-
Serve: When ready to serve, arrange the marinated mushrooms on a platter as part of an antipasto assortment. They pair wonderfully with other Mediterranean-inspired snacks such as olives, cured meats, and artisanal cheeses.
