INSTRUCTIONS
" The smallest mushrooms you can find in the market are the best for
preserving in oil. If you buy them in boxes that contain mixed sizes,
reserve the larger ones for other uses. Mushrooms prepared in this
way, like artichoke heats, made superb hors d'oeuvres when served with
salame (sic), carne secca and other cold cuts." Cut all mushroom stems
to be more or less the same length. Place vinegar, lemon juice and
salt in a saucepan (not aluminium) and bring to a boil. Add mushrooms
and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and cool thoroughly for several
hours. Add garlic and peppercorns and toss lightly. Place in glass
jars and add olive oil to cover. Store in refrigerator, where they
will keep a few weeks. YIELDS: APPROX 1 1/2 pints From Gemini's
