Caesar Salad With Portobello Mushrooms Recipes

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Slice the portobello mushrooms. In a bowl, toss mushrooms with enough olive oil to lightly coat and sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until golden brown, turning once.
• Meanwhile, mince the garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. (Vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; make sure to bring to room temperature and shake well before serving.)
• To serve, place the greens on a plate and top with warm mushrooms, cheese shavings, and vinaigrette.

PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Trim hard parts from mushrooms and discard. Rinse mushrooms quickly to remove grit; cut caps into slices and stems into small chunks. Combine in a medium skillet with 1 clove garlic (crushed and peeled), thyme, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over sufficiently low heat so that mixture bubbles but mushrooms do not brown. Continue to cook, stirring infrequently, until they are quite shrunken in size and appear firm, 30 to 45 minutes. (At this point, you can pause for several hours before resuming cooking.) If you are using porcinis, soak them in hot water to cover for a few minutes so that they soften.
• Set a large pot of water to boil for pasta and salt it. Mince remaining garlic. Turn heat under oil to medium, and add garlic to the portobellos along with the drained porcinis. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color. Add tomatoes and raise heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they break up and become saucy, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Taste sauce and adjust its seasoning. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce, top with Parmesan, and serve.
