Materials

• 500 g of cultivated mushrooms (or small wild mushrooms)
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar
• 1 teacup of vinegar (apple cider vinegar or grape vinegar)
• 1 tea glass of water
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 2-3 bay leaves
• Optional: 1 teaspoon red pepper or dill

Mushroom:

• Instead of cultivated mushrooms, you can use oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, or wild mushrooms.
• If you have larger mushrooms, you can cut them in half or thirds and add them to the pickles.

Vinegar:

• Instead of apple cider vinegar, you can opt for grape vinegar, pomegranate molasses, or white vinegar.
• For a milder taste, you can reduce the amount of vinegar slightly and mix it with water.

Spices and flavorings:

• You can use thyme, rosemary, or black pepper instead of bay leaves.
• You can optionally add 1-2 hot red peppers to make a spicy pickle.
• You can create different flavors by adding onion rings or green peppers instead of garlic.

Sweetener:

• Instead of granulated sugar, you can add honey or agave syrup, especially for a milder taste.
• If you prefer to make it without sugar, you can also make delicious pickles with just salt and vinegar.

Additional suggestions:

• To make the pickles more aromatic, you can add fresh dill or basil.
• You can create a different flavor by adding a small amount of lemon juice instead of water.

How to Do It

• Clean the mushrooms and, if necessary, halve any larger ones.
• Peel the garlic and leave it whole, or crush it lightly.
• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, blanch the mushrooms for 1-2 minutes, then drain them.
• Place the mushrooms, garlic, black pepper, and bay leaf inside the jar.
• Mix the vinegar, salt, and sugar in a bowl, then pour it over the mushrooms. Add enough water to completely cover the mushrooms if necessary.
• Close the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 1 day, then refrigerate. The pickles will be ready to eat in about 1 week. Enjoy!
• You can serve them at breakfast, as part of breakfast platters, or with appetizers at dinner.
• Pickled mushrooms can add a different flavor to green salads or pasta salads.
• You can serve it as a side dish with grilled meat or chicken.
• You can add both visual appeal and aroma by sprinkling finely chopped dill or fresh basil on top.
• Don't overcook the mushrooms; 1-2 minutes in boiling water is enough, otherwise they will soften and fall apart.
• Make sure the jar is completely clean and dry; this will ensure the pickles last longer.
• Pay attention to the vinegar and salt ratios; too much salt or vinegar can make the pickles taste bitter or sour.
• You can increase or decrease the amount of garlic and spices according to your taste.
• Leaving the pickles at room temperature for one day before refrigerating them allows the flavors to develop and prevents spoilage.
