Zesty Marinated Mushrooms

These zesty mushrooms are a hit every time! This recipe comes from a small community where potlucks and buffet-style gatherings are commonplace. Leftover dressing can be used as a marinade for grilled pork or chicken. Fresh mushrooms cannot be substituted in this recipe since they become soggy.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cans (about 284 ml) mushrooms, rinsed and well-drained
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• ½ cup vegetable or olive oil
• ½ cup white or apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 bay leaves (optional)

PREPARATION

• In a medium-size bowl, mix everything together.
• Store in a covered container in the fridge overnight. Stir the mushrooms a few times throughout the day.
• When ready to serve, remove half of the sauce and the bay leaves. Set the mushrooms out on the table in a few glass mason jars or in a nice bowl. Toothpicks are handy to have close by for easy snacking.
