  • For the mushrooms, choose fresh mushrooms that are firm and dry, and have a pleasant earthy smell.
  • The Anaheim chili can be substituted with jalapeno or poblano peppers if desired.

  • Substitute cauliflower for the mushrooms: This will reduce the amount of carbohydrates in the dish and will add a unique flavor to the relish.
  • Substitute olive oil for the salad oil: This will provide a more flavorful and healthy alternative to regular salad oil.

Vegetarian Mushroom Relish Replace the oil and vinegar with equal parts vegetable broth and apple cider vinegar. Add 1/2 cup of chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, oregano, and thyme. Omit the chili and add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for a mild heat.



Grilled Corn on the Cob: Grilled corn on the cob is the perfect side dish to the Fresh Mushroom Relish. The sweetness of the corn complements the savory flavors of the relish and adds a delicious crunch. Grilling the corn also adds a smoky, charred flavor that brings out the best in the relish.


Grilled Asparagus: Grilled asparagus is the perfect accompaniment to the Fresh Mushroom Relish. The smoky flavor of the asparagus pairs nicely with the savory flavors in the relish, and the crunch of the asparagus provides a nice contrast to the creamy texture of the relish. Grilling the asparagus also brings out its sweetness, which complements the relish perfectly.
