FAQ:
Q: Can I use canned mushrooms instead of fresh?
A: Fresh mushrooms are recommended for the best texture and flavor. Canned mushrooms may become too soft and won't absorb the marinade as well.
Q: How long should I marinate the mushrooms?
A: At least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for maximum flavor.
Q: Can I reuse the marinade?
A: It's best not to reuse the marinade due to potential contamination. However, it can be boiled and used as a dressing base if desired.
Q: Are marinated mushrooms served warm or cold?
A: They're typically served cold or at room temperature, but you can gently warm them if preferred.
