❓ Q & A

❓ How long do marinated mushrooms last?

Up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

❓ Can I use raw mushrooms without cooking?

You can, but blanching or sautéing helps them absorb more flavor.

❓ Can I make them spicy?

Add more red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.

❓ Can I add other ingredients?

Yes! Try:

• Sliced red onions

• Capers

• Fresh basil

• Balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar

❓ Can I freeze them?

Not recommended — texture becomes watery.
