MIXED WILD MUSHROOM SAUTE ON TOAST POINTS (RACHAEL RAY)

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter.
• Once butter melts, add the garlic and shallots, cook for 30 seconds and add mushrooms and combine.
• Sprinkle thyme over mushrooms, stirring frequently until they brown; add salt and pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 more minutes, stirring to evenly distribute.
• Whisk the wine into the pan and cook it off for a minute, then whisk in the stock.
• Thicken the stock for a minute, then add the half-and-half and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

MIXED WILD MUSHROOM SAUTé ON TOAST POINTS WITH GRUYèRE

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the EVOO and butter. When the butter melts, add the garlic and shallots and swish around for 30 seconds, then add the mushrooms and combine. Sprinkle the chopped thyme over the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms, stirring frequently, until they brown. Add salt and pepper to taste. (Do not season mushrooms before they brown. Salt draws out liquid and will make the mushrooms wet and as a result, they will actually take longer to brown.) Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, stirring to evenly distribute. Whisk the sherry into the pan first and cook it off for a minute, then whisk in the stock. Thicken the stock for a minute, then add the cream and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Cut the toasted bread from corner to corner. Arrange 4 triangles of toast on each dinner plate. Pour one quarter of the mushrooms across each portion and top with lots of Gruyère and with thyme sprigs. Serve with a tossed green salad or baby spinach salad.
• You can make this dish (and variations, #273 or #274) vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the stock.

SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Brush the caps of each mushroom with a clean sponge. Remove and discard the stems. Slice the small mushrooms thickly and cut the large ones in a large dice.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (11 - inch) Dutch oven or saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the butter, mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until they are tender and begin to release their juices, stirring often. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Toss in the parsley, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm.

WILD MUSHROOM BROKEN SPAGHETTI RISOTTO WITH ARUGULA AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Place mushrooms, stock and water in a sauce pot and heat, keep warm on low.
• Heat a medium saute pan or risotto pan with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over medium to medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic to pan, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until tender 4 to 5 minutes. Add pasta and toast until deeply golden in color and very nutty in fragrance, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in wine and let it cook away, 1 minute. Ladle in stock every few minutes, stirring for a good minute with each addition of stock to develop starches. Evaporate almost all of the liquid before each addition of stock. Pasta will cook up quicker then rice. Start tasting after about 8 to 9 minutes of cooking time once you begin to add stock. When you are down to the last cup of your liquids, remove mushrooms, chop and add to pasta.
• While the pasta cooks, toast hazelnuts in a skillet until fragrant. Peel nuts by rubbing the skins off in a clean kitchen towel.
• When pasta is cooked to al dente, stir butter into the pan then stir in the cheese.
• Dress arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve risotto in shallow bowls topped with greens and nuts.
• NOTE Oven Roasted Chicken Tenders Saltimbocca may be sliced and served atop or as a first or second course to meal.

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Place dried porcinis and stock or broth in a saucepan and bring stock to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer.
• In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium to medium high heat. Add shallots and saute 2 minutes. Add arborio rice and saute, 2 or 3 minutes more. Add Sherry and cook the liquid completely absorbed. Add several ladles of hot stock or broth and reduce heat slightly. Simmer, stirring frequently until liquid is absorbed.
• Remove mushrooms from water and reserve cooking liquid. Coarsely chop the porcinis and add them to the rice. Continue to ladle broth into arborio, half the remaining amount at a time. Stir mixture each time you add broth and remove from heat when the rice is cooked to al dente. Cool and store any remaining liquids if there are any.
• The ideal total cooking time for perfect risotto is 22 minutes. The consistency should be creamy.
• Stir in thyme and a few handfuls of grated cheese. Season your risotto with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve creamy mushroom risotto from the hot pan with warm, crusty whole grain breads.
