MARTHA'S SCALLOPED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, and cook until soft and just starting to brown - about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Working in four batches, melt 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet; add one quarter of the mushrooms, tossing to coat evenly with butter. Cook until mushrooms have released their juices and most of the juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with onions. Repeat process with remaining butter and mushrooms.
• Add heavy cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan, salt, and pepper to bowl; stir until combined. Return the mixture to skillet or transfer to a large baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan over the top.
• Bake until bubbling and nicely golden on top, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Serve hot.
• This could probably be made up ahead of time and then refrigerated until needed. Adjust baking time accordingly.

COQUILLES ST. JACQUES (SCALLOPS WITH MUSHROOMS IN CREAM SAUCE)

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the mushrooms. Cook until wilted and add the salt, pepper, and wine. Add the scallops and bring to the boil. Cook until all the scallops are heated through, stirring gently as necessary. Take care not to let the scallops overcook or they will toughen. Using a slotted spoon, remove and set aside the scallops and mushrooms. Reserve the liquid. There should be about 3/4 cup of liquid. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. When blended add the reserved liquid, stirring until thickened and smooth. Add the milk and 1 cup of the cream. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of cayenne. Whip the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Fold it into the sauce. Use 6 individual scallop shells or ramekins. Spoon equal portions of the scallops and mushrooms into each shell. Spoon the sauce over the scallop mixture. Preheat the broiler to high. Place the filled shells under the broiler about 6 inches from the source of heat and bake until a nice brown glaze forms on top. As the scallops broil, turn shells occasionally for even browning, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook sausage, breaking it up with a fork, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, shallot, and chopped mushrooms stems; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, stir in parsley and oregano, and let cool.
• Add egg, breadcrumbs, and cheese to cooled sausage mixture, and stir to combine. Place mushroom caps on a rimmed baking sheet. Season cavities with salt and pepper, then stuff with sausage mixture, dividing evenly and packing tightly. Drizzle lightly with oil.
• Bake until mushrooms are tender and tops are browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately garnished with additional oregano leaves, if desired.

PORK SCALOPPINE WITH MUSHROOMS AND MARSALA

Steps:

• Trim the pork loin, leaving only a thin layer of fat, and cut it crosswise into twelve equal slices. Using a meat mallet (or other heavy implement), flatten and spread the slices into scaloppine about 1/4 inch thick. Season lightly on both sides with salt and freshly ground pepper. Dredge the scaloppine in the flour, coating both sides, and shake off the excess.
• Meanwhile, put 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet, set over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to bubble, lay four or more scaloppine in the skillet-as many as can lie flat without crowding-and let them sizzle in place until the underside is opaque and tinged with brown, about 3 minutes. Flip them over and color the second side for a couple of minutes; then lift out the slices, let the fat drain off, and put them on a platter. Add a bit more olive oil and/or butter to the skillet if it seems dry, and fry the rest of the scaloppine in the same way.
• When all of the pork is browned, pour off the frying oil but leave any crusty caramelization in the skillet. Put in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter, and return to medium-high heat. When the butter is foaming, drop in the shallots and sage leaves, and cook, stirring, for a minute. Scatter the sliced mushrooms in the pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir continuously as the mushrooms sizzle and start to release their juices. Cook, tossing and stirring, until the moisture has evaporated and the mushroom slices are shrunken, soft, and caramelized, 6 minutes or more.
• Pour in the Marsala, raise the heat, and stir until it boils. Let the wine bubble and reduce for a minute or two, then stir in the stock. Bring to a boil, and cook at a gentle bubbling pace until the sauce is slightly viscous but loose, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• One by one, slide the scaloppine into the simmering sauce, and pour in any juices accumulated on the platter. Shake the pan, spoon sauce over the scaloppine, and flip them over once or twice, until they are heated through and glistening with sauce on both sides. If the sauce is too dense to coat all the meat, loosen it with a bit of stock. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the parsley all over, and serve.
