This is from "Fiesta!" Southwest Entertaining with Jane Butel

Marinated Mexican Mushrooms

12 ounces 2- to 3-inch white button mushrooms, wiped clean and
stemmed
1/3 cup virgin olive oil
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon caribe (crushed dried red chile)
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings

1. Prepare the vegetables, putting the mushrooms in a heatproof bowl.
Then bring the remaining
ingredients to a boil, adding the onions once the mixture begins to
boil. Cook and stir frequently
until the onions just begin to lose their crispness.
2. Pour over the mushrooms, and let them marinate at room temperature
for at least 2 hours,
stirring frequently.
3. Chill just before serving. They can be made several days before--
they keep very well up to a
week. I like to serve these in a shallow rectangular or oval bowl,
with the mushrooms
surrounding the edges and the onions in the center. Add a sprinkle
of the caribe for an added
touch. Serve with toothpicks.

Note: I 've never made these myself, but the other recipes in this
book have always lived up to
expectation. If the marinade is really tasty, you might want to add
chunks of cucumber or
zucchini to the mushrooms. - Sheila
