Clean mushrooms by brushing off particles, then rinse quickly. Slice mushrooms into quarters. In a medium skillet, heat the 1 teaspoon of canola oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until slightly soft but not limp. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Add the sautéed mushrooms and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve on French bread slices as an appetizer. May also be served as a topping for garden salads or as a side dish or garnish for meats. |
