    • Garlic 1 bulb. This is an option. During marinating, garlic can turns blue, which is not very presentable

tips and tricks

  • Serve mushrooms drained from the brine, with extra olive or vegetable oil and chopped green onion, fresh dill and other herbs.

  • Use extra care for washing mushrooms! Badly washed mushrooms can develop some infections during marinating.
