Cultivated mushrooms, caps tightly closed: quickly rinsed and patted dry |
1/2 |
c |
Extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 |
c |
Sherry vinegar: balsamic vinegar: or good-quality red or white wine vinegar: or more to taste |
2 |
tb |
Coarsely chopped fresh tarragon |

INSTRUCTIONS
If you can't find fresh tarragon: you can substitute fresh basil or even
parsley. The mushrooms will darken a bit if kept in the refrigerator
overnight: but they will taste even better the second day.
INSTRUCTIONS: Slice off and discard the very bottom of the mushroom stems
if they seem gritty or dried out. Slice the mushrooms vertically into
slices about 1/4 inch thick.
If the mushrooms are very small -- with caps less than 1 inch in diameter
~- cut the mushrooms vertically into quarters. Toss the mushrooms gently
with the oil: vinegar and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper in
a mixing bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap and store in a cool place at least 1 hour but up to
8 hours before serving.
Serves 6 as a side dish.
