Preserved Wild Mushrooms in Oil
Preserved mushrooms take only a short time to prepare and will keep for up to a month in the fridge. Excellent in a salad hot or cold, they also make a great nibble accompanied by cheeses and olives or simply serve on crusty bread. Fussel's Rapeseed oil is excellent for the purpose of this recipe, as it provides a tasty nuttiness to the mushrooms without overpowering them.
