Marinated in a blend of Champagne vinegar, olive oil, toasted fennel seeds, garlic, and thyme, these tender mushrooms are a winning appetizer waiting to happen. Spoon them over ricotta-topped toast or gooey baked Brie, or add them to a cheese board with plenty of crusty bread for sopping.

  • Add fennel seeds to skillet; toast over medium, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; let cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in shallots, vinegar, thyme, garlic, sugar, crushed red pepper, remaining 1 cup oil, and remaining 2 teaspoons salt until well combined. Return to heat over low; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is just warm, 3 to 5 minutes.

Make Ahead

The mushroom conserva can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Note

White beech mushrooms tend to be a bit sweeter, with less umami than their brown counterparts. Find them at specialty and Asian grocery stores or online atdartagnan.com.
