Miso Mac And Cheese With Mushrooms Food

MUSHROOM MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• For the topping: Mix the panko, Parmesan, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta for 10 minutes (it should still be firm as it will continue to cook in the sauce). Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta-cooking water.
• While the pasta cooks, heat a 3 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, mushrooms, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown. Remove the cooked mushrooms to a plate and drizzle with the truffle oil.
• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Reduce the heat to medium under the Dutch oven. Add the butter and flour and mix with a wooden spoon to form a paste. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another minute. Slowly whisk in the milk. Bring this mixture to a simmer, whisking occasionally to prevent sticking on the bottom. Simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk in the gruyere, fontina and Parmesan and stir until fully incorporated.
• Add the pasta, reserved pasta water, cooked mushroom mixture, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper to the cheese sauce and fold everything together. Top with the breadcrumb mixture and drizzle with the olive oil and truffle oil. Broil until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling, about 8 minutes.
• Allow the mac and cheese to sit for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot.

MISO MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Coat the mushrooms in the olive oil, season them with salt and pepper and lay them on baking sheet, making sure that they are in one flat layer so the mushrooms crisp instead of steam. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, then flip the mushrooms over and bake until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Set them aside to cool.
• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the shells according to the instructions on the package.
• In a high-powered blender or food processor, grind the Parmesan into a fine powder.
• Add half of the butter into a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add in the miso and sugar and stir until combine into a beautiful, saucy paste. Slowly stream in the milk, whisking continuously to make sure the miso and butter emulsify with the milk. Add 1 piece of the remaining butter, whisking until melted. Once melted, add another piece of butter. Repeat with the last pieces of butter.
• Drain the pasta and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Add the cooked pasta into the saucepan with your miso sauce. Add a splash of the pasta water, followed by a small handful of the Parmesan, alternating back and forth between the two to make sure the cheese has melted and the sauce is thickening.
• Plate the mac and cheese and top it with more Parmesan, the crispy mushrooms and the chopped chives. Enjoy!

MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH MUSHROOMS AND BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, mustard, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and parsley; stir until cheese melts. Mix in pasta.
• Sauté bacon in medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Mix half of bacon into pasta and transfer to prepared dish. Sprinkle with remaining bacon.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs; sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over pasta. Bake until pasta is heated through and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

MUSHROOM MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Soak dried mushrooms in hot water for about 15 minutes. Once mushrooms are reconstituted squeeze out liquid & reserve both mushrooms & liquid.
• Melt butter over low heat and add flour. Cook gently for 3 or 4 minutes. Whisk in mushroom liquid and sufficient stock to form a medium thick sauce. Add 1/2 the grated cheese & whisk until smooth.
• Cook macaroni in salted boiling water until just less than 'al dente'.
• Grease (or spray coat) an 8x8 baking dish. Layer Macaroni, cheese & mushroom sauce & remaining grated cheese in at least 2 layers. You may add more cheese or breadcrumbs, etc. on top.
• Bake at 350 approx 30 minutes, until sauce is bubbling and any topping is browned.

SAUCY MISO MUSHROOMS WITH UDON NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a bowl, whisk the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, garlic and half the sesame oil until smooth and combined. Line a baking tray with a large sheet of foil, place the mushrooms in the middle and scrunch up the sides to almost encase the mushrooms. Pour over the miso mix, turning the mushrooms to ensure they are well coated. Scrunch the packet of foil closed and bake for 30 mins.
• About 5 mins before the mushrooms are ready, heat the remaining oil in a wok, stir-fry the noodles until hot through then divide between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with 1 or 2 mushrooms and pour over the sauce from the foil. Scatter with sesame seeds and spring onions.

MISO MAC AND CHEESE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a small saucepan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to soften, about 5 minutes. Line a plate with paper towels, and use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushrooms to the plate. Pour off and discard the liquid and oil from the saucepan, and wipe it out.
• In the same saucepan, melt the butter. When its foam subsides, whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens a bit and the raw flour taste is gone, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the milk, cheese, and miso and stir until the cheese melts.
• Add the macaroni and mushrooms, stir to thoroughly combine, and remove from the heat. Season generously with black pepper.
• Preheat the broiler with the rack set 4- to 5 inches from the flame or element. Oil a small baking dish. Transfer the macaroni mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the panko crumbs on top. Broil until the panko crumbs have browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove from the broiler, let cool slightly, spoon onto a plate, and eat.
