🎶 Sweet Heat—Honey Chipotle Marinated Mushrooms

A little honey, a little heat — and a whole lotta groove. ‘Sweet Heat’ by Tré Taylor

Meet your new secret weapon: Honey Chipotle Marinated Mushrooms—the cool, spicy, sweet seductress of your fridge. These little gems are fire and silk in the same bite—tender mushrooms soaked in a smoky adobo embrace, kissed by honey and brightened with lemon.

Cold and bold, ain’t no need for no thermostat, baby — this groove’s already sweatin’. It’s a slow-burn, floor-grind, midnight kind of magic that makes polyester feel like silk.

They’re the show-stopping vegetarian appetizer you can make a week in advance, the kind of dish that whispers, “I’m chill, but unforgettable.” Keep a jar tucked in the back of your fridge for spontaneous dinner parties, beach picnics, or midnight snacking when you crave something healthy, mysterious, and a little bit dangerous.

Once you make these, you’ll start eyeing every vegetable in your kitchen, wondering what else you can marinate into sweet-heat perfection.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cup olive oil
4 large garlic cloves
3 pounds small mushrooms, stems trimmed
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 small can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
3 tablespoons of honey
2 Medium size Mason Jars
Electric blender needed

Go on… get lost in the groove.
This one’s best served hot. 🔥🍯🎶

PREPARATION:

I buy small white mushrooms for this recipe, but I have made them with large mushrooms and they come out great as long as you have a big enough jar. Fill a large pot full of water to boil and wash and trim any funky stuff off the mushrooms. When water is boiling turn off the heat and add all the mushrooms in and cover to blanch them. In a separate pot place add water to boil for sterilizing the mason jars and lids. When jars are sterilized take them out of the pot and set them aside.

In a blender, add all of the ingredients and blend them on medium high until everything is a nice puree. Stir the mushrooms which should be slightly cooked, strain them and slowly spoon them into each Mason jar until full to the top. Then pour the liquid mixture over the mushrooms in the jar until full. Place the lid and seal the jar closed tightly.

I usually set out a clean dish towel on my counter to set them upside down so the mushrooms all mix well together and get evenly marinated. When they are cool, put them in your refrigerator and wait a couple days before eating. If you keep them refrigerated they are good for about a week.Serve them by straining (keep the liquid for possible meat marinade for BBQing, great on chicken) on a plate with tooth picks. Enjoy!
