Broccoli With Wild Mushrooms Recipes

BROCCOLI WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• If broccoli is whole, cut into florets. Steam until tender but still firm.
• Meanwhile, saute mushrooms and onion in hot oil until onion begins to turn golden.
• Stir in wine and cook quickly to evaporate most of it.
• Spoon mushroom-onion mixture over broccoli.

BROCCOLI WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place porcini in medium bowl. Pour 1 cup hot water over. Cover; let stand until softened, about 30 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer porcini to work surface. Chop porcini. Pour soaking liquid through strainer lined with wet paper towel and set over small bowl; reserve liquid.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shiitake mushrooms; sauté until tender and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add shallots; sauté 2 minutes. Add porcini. Pour in reserved soaking liquid. Boil until almost all liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl.
• Cook broccoli in pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl of ice water; cool. Drain. (Mushrooms and broccoli can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill.)
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and broccoli; sauté until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preparation
• 1. Cut off the broccoli florets and use only these for the soup. Wash and drain them. To make a vivid green soup, cook the florets, uncovered, in a large amount of boiling salted water for 5 minutes, until very well cooked. Drain, refresh in cold water so that they keep their color, and drain thoroughly.
• 2. Cut off and discard the earthy ends of the mushroom stalks. If you are using cèpes, simply wipe the caps with a cloth; wash all the other mushrooms briefly under running water.
• 3. Cut large mushrooms into approximately 1/8-inch slices, medium-sized mushrooms into quarters, and leave small ones whole. Place in an airtight container and keep cool.
• 4. Bring the chicken stock to a boil, pour it over the broccoli, and purée in a blender or a food processor. Pour the purée into a saucepan, add the cream, and season with salt and pepper. Strain the cream of broccoli through a fine sieve, and return it to the saucepan.
• 5. Peel the shallot and chop it very finely. Place in an airtight container and keep cool.
• Finishing Touches
• 1. Reheat the soup.
• 2. Heat a nonstick skillet until very hot, add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir with a wooden spoon until the mushrooms have released all their moisture. When it has almost completely evaporated, stir in the butter and shallot. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously, then scoop the mushrooms onto paper towels to drain.
• Presentation
• Pour the soup into warmed individual tureens or soup plates and pile a mound of hot mushrooms into the center.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI WITH WINEY MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Put the broccolini on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and toss to coat evenly, then spread in a single layer. Roast the broccolini, turning once with tongs, for 10 to 15 minutes, until crisp-tender. If the broccolini stems are not uniform in size, remove thinner ones as they are done. Transfer the broccolini to a platter. (The broccolini can be cooked several hours ahead of time and kept at room temperature.)
• In a large (12 inches or wider), deep frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until starting to soften. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the mushrooms and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown. (The mushrooms will release a lot of liquid before reabsorbing it and browning. Be patient, as the flavor is in the browning.) Add the wine and cook for about 2 minutes more, until the pan is dry. Stir in the pepper.
• Spoon the mushrooms over the broccolini, then scatter some Parmesan over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
