Spicy Marinated Mushrooms are a heavenly starter and side dish for any meal. The kick of jalapenos gives a warming hit whilst the soft delicate mushrooms help to keep the eat at bay. I often serve these as part of a steak and chips meal as in Steak with French Fries – Steak Frites. Both of these recipes are easy to prep and cook and work so well together that you will have an excellent main course for family and friends. The lemon zest and juice, the scallions and jalapenos, garlic and white wine create a perfect sauce for anything. The Spicy Marinated Mushrooms have the honour. Note, these are cooked due to the acidity in the marinade and not using conventional method.
