About

I can remember holidaying in France with my family and eating these straight from the polystyrene cups they sell in delicatessens. Every time I make them, I’m transported back to cloudy Brittany skies.

Method

Put the vinegar and wine in a non-reactive saucepan, and add all the aromatics. Heat to near boiling, then leave to infuse for 30 minutes.

Strain into a clean pan, add half the mushrooms and simmer for 10–15 minutes. Remove the mushrooms to a suitable container, using a slotted spoon. Put the remainder of the mushrooms in the spiced liquid and simmer for the same length of time. Strain
