Tips & Substitutions
For a bolder flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade. If you don't have wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar works as a great substitute. Fresh herbs like thyme or oregano can also enhance the dish. Make sure the mushrooms are thoroughly cleaned but not soaked in water to avoid a soggy texture.
