Mushroom And Gorgonzola Bundles Recipes

MUSHROOM-GORGONZOLA CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook 1 pound sliced assorted mushrooms in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat, stirring, until browned and tender, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook, stirring, until softened, 30 seconds. Add 1 cup heavy cream; bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss with 12 ounces cooked fettucine, adding up to 1/4 cup pasta-cooking water to loosen the sauce. Off the heat, stir in 2 ounces crumbled gorgonzola until creamy; season with salt and pepper.

GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS AND GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the gnocchi: Lightly flour a baking sheet. Put potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Reduce to a simmer; cook until potatoes are very tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 25 minutes.
• Drain potatoes. When they are just cool enough to handle, peel, and then pass through a ricer or food mill into a medium bowl. Sprinkle with flour, and add eggs. Season with black pepper and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir mixture with a fork to combine.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead until it is soft and smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into 4 to 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 3/4 inch thick. Cut ropes crosswise into 1-inch gnocchi.
• Roll a cut side of each dumpling against the tines of a fork with your thumb so each piece has ridges on 1 side and an indentation on the other. Place on the floured baking sheet until ready to cook (up to 12 hours in the refrigerator, uncovered).
• Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Add half the gnocchi; when they rise to the top (after about 2 minutes), continue to cook until tender, about 15 seconds more. Transfer gnocchi with a slotted spoon to the oiled baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining gnocchi. (The cooked gnocchi can be tossed in oil and stored, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator up to 24 hours.)
• Make the sauce: Bring cream and stock to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Reduce heat, and let mixture simmer until slightly thickened and reduced by 1/3, about 10 minutes. Add Gorgonzola; stir until melted. Stir in nutmeg and cayenne. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium until hot but not smoking. Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and their released liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add gnocchi; cook, stirring gently, until just heated through. Pour cheese sauce over gnocchi and toss gently to coat evenly. Serve immediately.

POLENTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups water to a boil; whisk in 3/4 cup instant polenta. Cook over medium heat, whisking, until creamy, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook 8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms in olive oil with 1 minced garlic clove and 1 teaspoon minced rosemary until tender, 6 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Serve over the polenta with crumbled gorgonzola and torn parsley.

GORGONZOLA STUFFED GRILLED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Use side burners or preheat grill. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add mushroom stems and cook until golden brown. Remove from heat and add bread crumbs, parsley, hot pepper sauce and cheese. Mix until well combined (if mixture looks too dry, add more olive oil.) Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Fill the mushroom caps with the mixture and brush the entire mushroom with more olive oil. Grill over medium heat until tender.

GORGONZOLA MUSHROOM BOULE

Steps:

• Put the butter and olive oil into a large skillet and set over medium heat. Slice the onion into thin slivers and add them to the melted butter. Reduce the heat to low and cook the onions for 15 minutes until translucent. Add the mushrooms, rosemary, salt and pepper, and raise the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Let the mixture simmer until the mushroom liquid has reduced by 3/4. Add the white wine and reduce again until the pan is almost dry. (The recipe can be made to this point the day before if you like. Reheat the mushroom mixture to continue with the recipe.) Add the crumbled gorgonzola and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and spoon into the hollowed out boule. Garnish with a few rosemary sprigs and serve immediately with sliced baguettes for dipping.
