My mother served these mushrooms at Thanksgiving dinner this year and they were so delicious that I quickly asked her the recipe and ended up making them for a small dinner party I threw for some friends a week or so later. THEN, one of those friends also had a dinner party, and guess what was served? Marinated Mushrooms!

When a recipe get’s passed around that fast, it HAS to be amazing! These mushrooms will NOT let you down at your next party, or even just as a super flavorful appetizer.

While this recipe uses decidedly Asian flavors like soy sauce and ginger, they are equally delicious with olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Serve this was some slices of good quality crusty bread. Sourdough breads are especially nice here.

best party mushrooms ever

3 cups of sliced mushrooms – whatever you like. I use portabello and shiitake mushrooms

1. Slice all mushrooms and place in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
