Confit used to be a way to preserve food. So the neat thing about this recipe is that it will preserve the mushrooms as well as make them absolutely delicious. As long as you store the mushrooms in the same oil you cooked them in, they will last weeks in the fridge.
FYI – If you have vegetables in the fridge that are going old, you can apply this recipe to preserve them. They will also taste delicious!
