Marsala Glazed Mushrooms Food

MARSALA GLAZED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Dry sauté the mushrooms: Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. Put all the mushrooms in the hot pan and stir the mushrooms. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Stir often. You may hear the mushrooms squeak. Just when you think the mushrooms may start burning, they will begin to give up their moisture. Water will seem to just seep out of the mushrooms. Stir so that the mushrooms are coated with their own sauce, and sprinkle salt over them.
• Add butter, thyme: Cook until most of the liquid has boiled away, then add the butter to the pan and stir to combine. Add a pinch of thyme. Sauté the mushrooms in the butter on medium high heat until they begin to brown, about 2-3 minutes.
• Add marsala wine: Add the marsala wine to the pan and increase the heat to high. Toss to coat the mushrooms well. Boil this down vigorously until the Marsala is nearly gone. What you will see remaining is the butter in the pan. Turn off the heat and serve at once.

MUSHROOMS MARSALA

Steps:

• Clean and take stems off (optional) the mushrooms.
• Place mushrooms in a sauce pan at medium to high heat, sprinkle them with the salt and cover them almost completely with a lid for about 8-9 minutes. Stir them a couple of times just so they don't burn.
• You want them to render just about all of their water, reducing them in size and growing in flavor. Once they've rendered just about all their water and the bottom of the pot is dry.
• Add the oil, the basil and the garlic and saute, browning the mushrooms a bit and always stirring so that the garlic does not burn.
• After about 1 minute of sauteing add the balsamic vinegar and stir for about 30 seconds (the balsamic should boil as it hits the pan) and keep stirring.
• Lastly, turn the heat a little bit higher and add the marsala wine, stirring and deglacing the bottom of the saucepan as well as burning off the alcohol.
• Continue to stir for 1 minute or so until the balsamic and marsala sauce begin to thicken a bit. Take off the heat and let it cool.

MUSHROOM MARSALA

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoons butter. Add mushrooms and sauté, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the garlic, sauté for 1 minute until softened.
• Sprinkle in the thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until most of the water evaporates.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until mushrooms have a nice dark brown glaze and are softened.
• Add the Marsala wine, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Continue to boil, stirring regularly, for 2-3 minutes, just until the liquid has cooked down. Remove from heat. Serve.

MARSALA AND MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on the direct heat side of the grill and cook the pasta 3 minutes less than the package directions. Place a large sauté pan over the direct heat side of the grill. Add the butter and once melted, add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook for 1 minute so the mushrooms soak up some of the butter. Then add the onions, garlic and thyme. Stir and cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, coating all of the vegetables. Deglaze the pan with the marsala, smoothing out any lumps. Stir in the vegetable stock and milk. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and bring to a simmer.
• Add the cooked pasta, parsley and mushroom marsala mixture to an extra-large mixing bowl. Mix to combine well, then transfer back to the sauté pan. Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan. Place the sauté pan on the indirect heat side of the grill, close the grill with the lid and bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown in some spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve!

SIMPLE BRAISED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat another 30 seconds. Add the shallot and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt to the hot pan and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes or until fragrant and beginning to soften. Add the mushrooms to the pan along with another 1/2 teaspoon salt and the thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms have let off some of their juices are beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Deglaze with the Marsala, if using, and add the broth and remaining salt. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover the pan, increase the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about an additional 5 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs, stir in the butter and serve.

MUSHROOMS IN MARSALA WINE (FUNGHI ALLA MARSALA)

Steps:

• Soak the mushrooms in lukewarm water for 30 minutes. Line a small sieve with cheesecloth and add the mushrooms. Strain and reserve the soaking liquid. Squeeze the mushrooms in the sieve to extract their juices.
• Heat the oil in a casserole and add the soaked, drained mushrooms, garlic and rosemary. Cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the reserved soaking liquid and cook down over high heat until most of the liquid evaporates.
• Add the fresh mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are wilted. Add the Marsala and cook, stirring occasionally but gently, until the wine is almost but not quite evaporated. Serve hot or at room temperature.
