Make Garlic Poached Mushrooms with Basil Marinade
These mushrooms go so well with so many dishes. You can use them in pasta, in a salad, or in a warm creamy dish. We’re going to start by poaching our mushrooms then we’ll get into our marinade. These mushrooms can be made a day or two in advance and held in the marinade until ready to use and eat!
Garlic Poached Mushrooms
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
1lb mushrooms of choice, washed and trimmed (save those stems for vegetable broth)
1 quart (32 oz) of water
2 cloves of smashed garlic, peels removed
1 bay leaf
Juice and peel of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon of salt
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Add all of the ingredients to a large pot. Make sure the water is covering the mushrooms - although some of them might want to pop up and float, that’s ok! Bring the pot to a boil, cover and then turn down to medium - low. Poach the mushrooms on this temperature for about 1 hour or until tender, including the stems. Once tender, strain out the mushrooms being sure to remove all of the aromatics. While your mushrooms are poaching, let’s make our marinade.
