MUSHROOM & TARRAGON STRUDELS WITH MADEIRA SAUCE

Steps:

• Fry the onions in 50g of the butter in a large pan. Add the sliced flat and chestnut mushrooms, then soften for 5 mins. Stir in the shiitake mushrooms and garlic, then turn up the heat and cook quite fiercely to drive off as much moisture as possible. Stir in the madeira, tarragon, breadcrumbs and tomatoes, then take the pan off the heat.
• In a separate pan, cook the button mushrooms and pine nuts in the remaining butter until the nuts are golden. Add to the mushroom and tomato mixture, then cool.
• Lay a sheet of filo on the work surface and brush with oil. Top with another sheet, brush again, then continue until you have a stack of 4 sheets of pastry. Spread half the filling down the longest length, leaving several cms at each end. Fold the pastry ends up over the filling, roll up like a cigar, then carefully lift onto a baking sheet. Brush with more oil, then tear the last filo sheet into strips, scrunch up and place half on top to decorate. Repeat with the rest of the pastry and filling to make a second strudel, then chill until ready to cook. Can be made 1 day ahead.
• To serve, bake in a preheated oven at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 30 mins or until golden and heated through. Serve in slices, scattered with extra pine nuts and tarragon, with the madeira sauce.

WILD MUSHROOM & MADEIRA GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the shallots, carrot, thyme, bay leaves and dried mushrooms and fry over a medium heat for 5-7 mins or until deep golden brown. Scatter over the sugar and cook until beginning to caramelise. Stir in the flour and combine well, then add the miso, balsamic vinegar, tomato purée and madeira and cook for 2 mins. Pour over the stock a little at a time, stirring as you go.
• Simmer everything together, uncovered, for 30 mins or until you have a fairly thick gravy. Sieve into a clean saucepan. Season to taste and warm through when ready to serve. Leave to cool completely, then freeze for up to three months or chill for up to three days. Reheat thoroughly in a pan to serve.

CHESTNUT & SHALLOT TATINS WITH MUSHROOM & MADEIRA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel the shallots, cut in half lengthways and place in a single layer on a baking tray, cut-side up. Drizzle with the oil, season well and bake for 20-25 mins. Take the tray out of the oven and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with the sugar and return to the oven for 10 mins more or until golden brown and softened. Leave to stand for 10 mins.
• Unroll the pastry onto a work surface lightly dusted with flour and cut out 4 x 13cm discs (or 6 x 11cm discs if making for starters), using a bowl or saucer as a guide, if you like. Divide the shallots between 4 x 12cm non-stick, preferably loose-based mini cake tins (or 6 holes of 2 x 4-hole non-stick Yorkshire pudding tins), arranging cut-side down, nice and snugly. Scatter the chestnuts on top and press down lightly. Sprinkle with the thyme leaves and season. Place a disc of puff pastry over the shallots and chestnuts in each tin and ease down the sides using a round-bladed knife. Prick with a fork all over. Can be frozen at this point (see tip, below left) or covered with cling film and kept in the fridge for up to 8 hrs before baking.
• To make the mushroom sauce, put the dried mushrooms in a measuring jug and cover with 200ml just-boiled water. Leave to stand for 20 mins. Drain in a sieve and reserve the soaking liquor. Put the mushrooms on a board and roughly chop. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and fry the chestnut mushrooms over a high heat for 2-3 mins until lightly browned. Reduce the heat, stir in the butter and, as soon as it has melted, add the flour and the soaked mushrooms and cook for a few secs, stirring.
• Slowly add the mushroom liquor, taking care to avoid adding any gritty bits from the bottom of the jug, then add the madeira, stirring well between each addition. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2 mins, stirring. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Place the cake tins on a baking tray and bake the tatins for 20-25 mins or until the pastry is golden brown and risen. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then turn out onto warmed plates. If the shallots stick to the tin, gently ease them out with a round-bladed knife and rearrange them on the pastry. While the tatins are resting, gently warm the sauce. Spoon the mushrooms on top of each tatin and allow the sauce to drizzle onto the plates. Garnish with more thyme and serve with the vegetables.
