Marinated Button Mushrooms

Ingredients

1 pound Large button mushrooms

1/2 cup Olive oil

2 tablespoons Lemon juice

2 tablespoons White wine vinegar

3 Garlic cloves peeled and crushed

2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon Dried whole oregano

Salt to taste

Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

Trim stems off mushrooms and save for another use. Bring large pot of water to a boil and blanch mushrooms for 2 minutes. Remove and drain well.

Mix remaining ingredients together in medium-size bowl and add drained mushrooms while they're still hot. Toss together and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, tossing a couple of times while marinating. Serve as an hors d'oeuvre with toothpicks.

Serves 6 to 8 as an appetizer.

Comments: I love these things and you will like them much better than those you find premarinated and soaked in too much vinegar in a bottle at the supermarket.
