- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, sliced red pepper, and grated garlic together. pour over the mushrooms until they are half ways submerged.
- Cover and let sit in the fridge for a couple of days. For a little extra zest, add a couple of pickled onions. You can also decorate the mushrooms with sliced olives.
- Serve at room temperature.

Born and raised in California. Moved to Greece many years ago and married a wonderful Greek. We have no children but our little family is content and complete with our lovely 4 year old Griffon, Bobbie.
I love to cook when I have the time, travel, read, and mess around with photography and Photoshop.
