italian marinated mushrooms

image prep time: 10 minutes, plus at least 24 hours to marinate cook time: 3 minutes yield: 8 servings

½ cup MCT oil or other liquid oil, such as extra-virgin olive oil

2 pounds button mushrooms, cleaned and halved or quartered, (very small mushrooms can be left whole)

¼ cup diced onions

¼ cup coconut vinegar or apple cider vinegar

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, or cloves from 1 head Garlic Confit ( see here )

Leaves from 1 bunch fresh basil

1 teaspoon Herbes de Florence ( see here )

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onions and sauté for 3 minutes.

2. Pour the mushroom mixture into a bowl. Add the vinegar, garlic, basil, Herbes de Florence, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a quart-sized mason jar, cover, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving (marinate longer for a stronger flavor). Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

note: These mushrooms are delicious on their own, but I also love to serve them with my Pizza Meatballs in Red Gravy ( see here ).
