Mary Jo: The benefit of blanching is it softens the mushrooms a bit, and because they’re then warm and tender, they absorb the vinaigrette much better.

I was searching for an appetizer for Mother’s Day and found this. I love marinated/pickled anything but am also lazy. I usually make marinated mushrooms by plunking them in a favorite Italian dressing – no cooking. Do you think it makes a big difference to simmer for 5 minutes?

loved reading your list :) I too love an almost empty jar of peanut butter. I have bittersweet feelings towards me, the pb and a spoon. I wish I put it on toast, or made cookies or a sandwich with it… but I usually just eat it with a spoon :) Like you said, its the little things.

What a perfect appetizer — full of flavor and also light, so not an appetite spoiler! I’ll bet any leftover mushrooms would also be great tossed with greens in a salad, with a drizzle of the marinade as vinaigrette.

We always struggle with what to provide when it comes to apps. We always want a hot and a cold. I love the idea of your mushrooms. In fact, I recently found a recipe for pickled what nots in a vegetarian Italian cookbook I have. I guess we’re all set next go ’round. Again, thanks for the inspiration!

What a great appetizer! I’m always trying to find that enough-but-not-too-much balance for before dinner snacking. These look perfect! I always go for marinated mushrooms when I see them at a salad bar or restaurant but have never made them myself. How fun!

Just reading that list made me happy (and I don’t even run!). I’m ridiculously fond of mushrooms in any form, though have not tried this yet. Looks perfect.

These would make a really good snack, not to mention extremely tasty and unboring.
