Sunday Small Bites #10 - Mushrooms

Again late to the posting, even though I made this one before we left town for the weekend. I love stuffed mushrooms, but decided to look for another mushroom treatment since there would be no one around to eat the stuffed ones. When I found this recipe for marinated garlic mushrooms, it seemed ideal, in part because it is a very California recipe, and in part because it has given me a large container that I can use for a Thanksgiving small bite. Always thinking ahead, or at least I like to think I am.

This is a recipe from a contest at the Gilroy Garlic Festival held annually in the town of Gilroy, in north central California, which is the Garlic Capitol of the World, or so they claim. It was the winner of the 1979 contest.
