Pickled Mushrooms

55m

A quick and easy way to preserve your mushrooms, which can then be used in a variety of ways!

We use a lot of ways to preserve all of the mushrooms that we pick, and this is one that gives a nice flavor and has a multitude of uses. The Pickled Mushrooms can be used on sandwiches, toasts, pasta dishes, rice dishes, salads, and many others you could think of!

We prefer to use mushrooms that still have a nice texture after cooking, such as chanterelles, milk caps, or porcini, but feel free to use whichever you have available.
