Pickled mushrooms

Pickled mushrooms are a beloved traditional delicacy in which various types of mushrooms, most commonly porcini, boletus or button mushrooms, are preserved in a vinegar brine with spices. The result is a distinct, tangy flavor with a rich mushroom aroma that pairs wonderfully with cold dishes. They are served as a side to meat, on open sandwiches, in salads or on cold platters. In Czech and Slovak cuisine, they have a long tradition as a way of preserving the summer mushroom harvest. With their low calorie content and high mineral content, they are also a healthy choice.
