Marsala Mushroom And Goat Cheese Flatbread Recipes

CHICKEN MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Set a turkey roaster pan over 2 burners on medium heat and add the canola oil. Brown the chicken, skin-side down first, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add a little more of the oil to the pan on high heat and add the mushrooms, garlic and onions. Season with salt and cook just long enough to get some color on the mushrooms, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and thyme and cook about 1 minute longer. Place the chicken pieces back into the pan skin-side up and spread them out evenly, pushing them down into the mushrooms and onions. Add the marsala, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and add the chicken broth. Place the whole pan in the oven and cook until the tops of the chicken are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pan and transfer onto a serving platter and keep warm. Set the roasting pan back over the burner on high heat. Bring the contents to a boil and cook the liquid until it is reduced and the flavors become concentrated, 3 to 4 minutes. Shut off the heat, add the butter cubes and stir gently to melt the butter evenly. This will thicken the marsala sauce and give it a rich flavor. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of the lemon juice and fold in the parsley. Pour over the chicken and serve with Chardonnay.

4-CHEESE FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix together the four cheeses and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Place the naan on a sheet pan and spread each piece with a tablespoon of the pesto. Spread the cheese mixture on the naan. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly and lightly golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Sprinkle with pepper flakes, if using.

SPINACH AND CHEESE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F), the sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the flour and fine salt; stir to form a sticky dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes, dusting with flour.
• Brush a large bowl with olive oil; add the dough, loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside until doubled in size, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
• Brush a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Stretch the dough on the baking sheet. Cover with a towel; set aside until doubled, 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Scatter the cheese, bell pepper and scallion whites over the dough. Bake until the crust is golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Toss the spinach and scallion greens with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and the sea salt. Sprinkle over the flatbread; bake 2 more minutes.

MUSHROOM-GOAT CHEESE SPANAKOPITA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat. Add the garlic, shallot and mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until almost tender, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until very tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the goat cheese; season with salt and let cool.
• Lay out 1 phyllo sheet, butter liberally and fold in half to form a rectangle. Butter again and fold in half again to form a skinnier rectangle. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, placing a towel over the prepared sheets to prevent them from drying out.
• Pile the mushroom and spinach mixture on one end of each phyllo rectangle. Fold up one corner of the dough over the filling to form a triangle and continue to fold (like a flag), buttering between each fold. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

MARSALA MUSHROOM AND GOAT CHEESE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the butter and oil until the butter is melted. Add the mushrooms and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Pour in the Marsala and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are cooked down and the liquid is mostly gone, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Set aside.
• Put the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush with the pesto, then top with the mozzarella, mushroom mixture and goat cheese. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
• Bake until the flatbreads are heated through and the cheese is melted, bubbly and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
