Mushrooms à la Grecque Recipe


Majestic

Ingredients:

400ml water
50ml good olive oil, plus extra for the ciabatta
100ml white wine vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar, or more to taste
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
5 cloves garlic, peeled and kept whole
4 bay leaves, scrunched a little
2 large sprigs of thyme
1 tbsp allspice berries
1 strip unwaxed lemon peel
1 tsp salt, or more to taste
400g mixed cultivated or wild mushrooms, all cut into a similar size
A few sprigs, leaves picked, of marjoram, or use oregano, parsley, mint or basil, to serve
Ciabatta or good, crusty bread, thinly sliced

Recipe:

Put the water, vinegar, spices, 4 garlic cloves, herbs, salt, sugar and olive oil in a pan and bring to a simmer.

Add the mushrooms to the vinegar liquor, simmer for 1 minute, then remove and put to one side. Do not cook the mushrooms more than this as they will pickle in the liquid.

Remove from the heat and store the mushrooms submerged in the liquid in a non-reactive container, ideally overnight.

Toast the ciabatta and lightly rub all over with the remaining garlic clove, then drizzle with a little extra olive oil and serve the toasts alongside the mushrooms.
