What mushrooms work best for marinating?

I usually use button white mushrooms for this recipe.

I recently tried it with baby Bella mushrooms, and even though they have a slightly earthier flavor than button white, I really loved how they turned out.

I’ve updated the recipe photos and added a video and you’ll see that I’ve used baby Bella mushrooms.

The simple marinade also works for portobello mushrooms. You can cut them into cubes.

How long should mushrooms stay in the marinade before they are ready to serve?

At least 5 minutes.

Keep in mind that these mushrooms benefit the most from the marinade if it is added to them, while they are still warm.

The more mushrooms stay in the marinade, the tastier they get.

These mushrooms could be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 10 days.
