Marinated Mushrooms – Recipe

Ukrainians looooove mushrooms.  They incorporate mushrooms into numerous everyday recipes, but especially for their Christmas Eve 12-course meatless meal.

Traditional Ukrainian Christmas Eve menu will include mushrooms in Mushroom soup, varenyky filling (pierogi), Holubtsi filling (Cabbage Rolls), Vooshka filling (dumplings that accompany Ukrainian Christmas Borscht), mushroom gravy (referred to as, Machka, in some households), mushrooms with cabbage, and of course marinated mushrooms.

Today I will share my favorite recipe for Marinated Mushrooms, which will be part of our Christmas Eve dinner menu.

This recipe yields 1 mason jar of marinated mushrooms.
