• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems if desired, then set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
4. Cover the bowl and let the mushrooms marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
