Mushroom Stracciatella Toasts Food

MUSHROOM & STRACCIATELLA TOASTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, toast bread, working in batches if necessary, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove toasts from pan, season with salt and set aside. Swirl 2 more tablespoons olive oil into skillet. Once oil is smoking, add half of mushrooms, shaking them into a single, well-spaced layer. (Do not crowd skillet.) Sear mushrooms on one side, undisturbed, until well browned, 4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter to skillet. Flip mushrooms, season with salt and cook until browned and tender, 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining mushrooms. In a medium bowl, toss radicchio with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt. To serve, smear toasts with cheese, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spoon warm mushrooms over toast and garnish with mint. Serve with radicchio salad.

MUSHROOM RICOTTA TOAST

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they give off their liquid and are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the marjoram, garlic and some salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute more.
• Meanwhile, add the ricotta, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste to a food processor and process until very smooth.
• Spread the whipped ricotta on the toasted bread. Toss the arugula with salt and pepper. Arrange the mushrooms on the ricotta mixture, then top with the arugula.

MUSHROOM TOASTS

Steps:

• Wipe any dirt from the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel.
• Cut off any tough stems; half smaller mushrooms and quarter larger ones to make approximate even sizes.
• Heat butter and 1 Tbsp of the oil in a 10-12 inch deep saute pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes, until any liquid has evaporated. If the mushrooms become too dry add a drizzle of oil.
• Transfer mushrooms to a cutting board, let cool a few minutes, and chop coarsely.
• Wipe out the pan and set over medium heat with 1 Tbsp olive oil.
• Add shallots, thyme and a pinch of salt and stir for a minute or two until shallots are tender and slightly golden.
• Return the mushrooms to the pan and stir in the creme fraiche to heat through without bringing to a simmer.
• Remove from the heat and stir in parsley and more salt and black pepper to taste.
• Note: If you are making the mushrooms in advance stir in only 1/4 cup of the creme fraiche now and add the other 1/4 cup when reheating later.
• Just before serving position oven rack 6 inches below the broiler element and heat broiler.
• Place baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil; Broil for a minute or two to toast.
• Spread warm mushroom mixture over toasts and sprinkle on the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Note: Do not at any time overheat the mushroom mixture once the creme fraiche has been added or the cream will break.

MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Toast the sourdough bread, cut each slice in half, then set aside. Heat a large frying pan with the olive oil. Fry the prosciutto in the pan for about 2 mins on each side until golden and crisp. Break into large pieces and set aside on some kitchen paper.

Cook for 3-5 mins more until the mushrooms are soft and lightly coated in the crème fraîche. Stir through a little parsley. Pile up on the toasts and top with the prosciutto and more parsley.
