Stage 4
The beauty of this recipe is that you can eat it just as it is: a fresh salad of crunchy mushrooms.
Or you can leave it to stand for a good hour or so in the fridge covered with plastic film for a tender salad of marinated mushrooms.
Or, for yet another twist: fry up quickly in a pan, without adding any extra fat, for simple sautéed mushrooms.
