Marinated Mushrooms

We think this is the ultimate finger food. (OK, you can use toothpicks or a fork, if you must.) Taking just minutes to prepare, it requires a short marinating time. However, you can make it up to eight hours in advance.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup)

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons  minced shallots
• 2  tablespoons  white wine vinegar
• 1  tablespoon  grated orange rind
• 1/4  cup  fresh orange juice

• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 2  teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil
• 3  cups  small mushrooms (about 8 ounces)
• Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Preparation

Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Add mushrooms; toss well. Cover and chill 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Garnish with pepper, if desired.
