This is a fabulous recipe from our own Tourism Manager Bruce Minchinton. A clever recipe to have in the repertoire, easy to prepare and a brilliant accompaniment to a whole range of dishes, including creamy pasta. The pickling liquor "cooks" the mushrooms. The result is a mushroom that retains both its freshness and its firmness, with a subtle earthy flavour.
