Marinated Mushrooms Chiles and Peppers are easy and versatile – 5 minutes to make, wait, and it’s a scrumptious salad. Sautee it and top hamburgers with it!
This Marinated Mushrooms Chiles and Peppers is super simple and quick to make, yet very tasty and versatile. Plus I think it’s pretty! It only has 6 ingredients and you can just throw it together.
The flavors blend together the more you marinate it. You’ll want to marinate it for minimum of an hour – in this case I marinated it for 3 hours. I actually think of this as 2 dishes in one. I made the recipe, let it marinate and then divided it in half. One half I just ate as a salad. The other half I sauteed in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes, basically until the vegetables are soft and starting to sear around the edges. When you cook it, it changes the character of the dish a bit. Not only is the texture different (soft, not crunchy) – the flavor changes as it seems sugars are release so it gets just a touch of sweetness and even more blending of flavors. Personally, I might put these sauteed veggies on top of a hamburger. I also might cook them with sausage and serve it as a main dish. You could also just top a pizza with this and it would be great.
Also, when I sauteed this, I did not add any oil but I did use a non-stick skillet. There is already oil in the balsamic vinaigrette. So … you make this, let it marinate a while, then either eat it or sautee it and eat it. Brain dead simple
