Mmmmm those Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms were soooo good! Now, hold on, don’t throw those lovely mushroom stems away! Of course, you can use whole mushrooms for this recipe as well but it is great for the stems alone.

Marinated Mushrooms

• 1 pkg of mushrooms, leftover mushroom stems or a variety of mushrooms
• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 TBS wheat free Tamari
• 1/2 tsp sea salt or herbamare
• 2 tsp dried tarragon

1. Wash mushrooms or stems and place in a bowl.
2. Mix all other ingredients in a separate bowl.
3. pour dressing over mushrooms and let marinate in fridge for 1-2 hours.

These will last in the fridge for about 3 days. I like to have this on salads or just plain as a side. Another great way to serve this is to serve on marinated spinach.  For the spinach: massage spinach with a little bit of olive oil, herbamare and tarragon. Massage for about 5 minutes until it is wilted. A little olive oil and sea salt and herbamare goes a long way.

Our favorite fan of this recipe is Uncle Barry! The kids aren’t big fans but I have to admit, it is one of my favorites so there is often not much left for them to try of this one!
