Ingredients
-
500g mushrooms of your choice

- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
-
2 cups olive oil
- 2-4 bay leaves
-
1 teaspoon pink pepper corns
Directions
In a large, deep pan heat 1/3 of the amount of olive oil and sauté the mushrooms whole for 2-3 minutes until golden on all sides. Add the garlic cloves whole, lower the heat to medium and keep sautéing for 1-2 minutes until the garlic turns golden. Reduce the heat to low.
Add the remaining olive oil, the salt, peppercorns and the bay leaves. If you have a cooking thermometer keep the temperature at 170°F allowing to simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Carefully transfer into a heat proof jar.
- Let it cool down until it reaches room temperature and stir in the vinegar.
- Serve the mushrooms as a side dish or tart/pizza toppings or sandwich filling. Use the oil as a salad dressing or add a tablespoon to your soups and vegetable puree. Or simply use as a dipping oil with a chunk of bread warm from the oven.
