If you are a mushroom fan, like I am, then you will love this recipe! Marinated Cocktail Mushrooms are the perfect appetizer for any gathering. Add them to your charcuterie board and they are sure to become a staple at all of your future parties.

I don't know about you, but when I go to a cocktail party or any social gathering I am usually looking for something new and exciting on the food table.  The usual suspects sitting out are shrimp cocktail, an array of cheese, fruit, and crackers.  Talk about booooring!  

This is the exact reason why I love to whip up a batch of these tasty mushrooms for my parties. They are super simple to make and always a hit!  The tangy marinade gives the mushrooms the perfect punch and a sure way to liven up your food spread.

What ingredients do I need?

• 16 oz whole baby bella mushrooms
• ½ cup olive oil
• ⅓ cup white wine vinegar
• ½ red onion- chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

How do I make Marinated Cocktail Mushrooms?

Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 16 oz of baby bella mushrooms to the water and cook for approximately 4 minutes.  Drain the water and set the mushrooms aside for now.  

To create the marinade, combine all remaining ingredients. Whisk together and set aside.

Lastly, you will combine the mushrooms and marinade in an airtight container, then place in your refrigerator. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 3 hours (the longer, the better).  I sometimes make this recipe the night before a party, so that they have plenty of time to soak up all the amazing flavors in the marinade.

These Marinated Cocktail Mushrooms cannot be any easier.  If you are in a rush and looking for a delicious appetizer for your next party, look no further. Your guests will be popping these mushrooms like they are candy!
