Roasted Endives With Mushrooms Food

ROASTED ENDIVES WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat the olive and truffle oil over medium-high heat. Fry the mushrooms and shallots.
• Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• With the rack in the highest position, preheat the broiler.
• Remove the outer leaves and the base of the endives. Cut the endives in half lengthwise.
• Arrange the endive (cut side down) on a baking sheet. Brush with half the olive oil. Roast the endives for about 8 minutes. Turn the endives over halfway through baking and baste with the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stuff the roasted endive with the mushroom filling. Sprinkle with the cheese. Broil in the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

PAN-ROASTED ENDIVE

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 halved heads endive cut-side down; season with salt. Cook until browned and softened, turning once, about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon sugar and a pinch of salt. Simmer, turning to coat, until syrupy, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle with chives.

MUSHROOM FRITTATA WITH ENDIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Set a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until foamy. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, scallions, parsley, tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the scallions are wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet in an even layer and cook until they start browning, about 3 minutes; sprinkle with the cheese. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until set, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the endive and tomatoes in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper. Toss and serve with the sliced frittata.

ROASTED BELGIAN ENDIVE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425.
• Discard any of the endive's bruised or wilted outer leaves. Cut away a thin slice from the root end to remove the usually discolored surface portion of the stem. Wash the endive under cold running water, then shake off the moisture.
• Cut each head of endive in half lengthwise. Make a cut in the root end, cutting half as deep as the root is thick and running the cut from the bottom to where the leaves join the root.
• Place the endive on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until the endive is browned, and very tender, 50 to 60 minutes. (It's done when you can easily pierce the root end with a fork.) Serve hot or warm.

ROASTED MUSHROOM AND WHITE ASPARAGUS OR ENDIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 550 degrees fahrenheit (or the highest setting).
• Break the tough ends off the asparagus or trim the Belgian endive and slice it lengthwise into 8 wedges.
• Place the mushrooms in a gratin or other baking dish with the asparagus or endive, the onion, garlic, and thyme. Toss with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the vegetables, turning a few times to ensure even browning, for about 20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with fork.
• Transfer the vegetables and their cooking juices to a salad bowl and add the vinegar and a little more salt and pepper if needed. Toss well, taste for seasoning, and add the greens. Toss well. Scatter the Parmigiano on top and serve at once.

BROWN RICE SALAD WITH MUSHROOMS AND ENDIVE

Steps:

• If using brown rice or barley, toast first: Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and add the barley or brown rice. Stir in the pan until the grains begin to smell toasty, about 5 minutes. Add the stock or water and salt (1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon) and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes, until tender. If all of the liquid has not been absorbed, drain and return to the pan. Place a clean dish towel over the top of the pan and return the cover. Let sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. If using triticale, soak in 3 cups water if you have the time for 1 hour before cooking. Combine in a saucepan with the soaking water (or drain and use 3 cups stock), bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce the heat and simmer 45 to 50 minutes, until some of the grains have begun to splay. Turn off the heat and let steep for 15 minutes in any liquid remaining in the pan, then drain.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the shiitake mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sweat and color slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, and salt to taste and sauté just until the mushrooms are tender, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat, add the regular mushrooms and 1 tablespoon of the dressing, and stir together. Stir in the cooked grains and the herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• When ready to serve, whisk the remaining salad dressing and add to the grains and mushrooms. Stir over medium heat until heated through. Add the endive, toss together and serve.
