Mushroom And Ham Poboy Recipes

GRANDMA'S OYSTER MUSHROOM PO BOY

Steps:

• For the vegan pepper jack: Dice the jalapeño and sauté in a pan in the oil with the red pepper flakes on medium heat.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, add the soy milk, tapioca flour, kappa carrageenan and salt. Start cooking at medium heat until it starts to thicken.
• Slowly add the coconut oil to the soy milk mixture. Emulsify with an immersion blender to blend until the oil and liquid fuse together, then add the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and nutritional yeast, whisking. Fold in the jalapeño mixture until fully mixed, then scrape it into a 5-by-9-inch bread pan or cheese mold. Let set in the fridge for 8 hours.
• For the vegan mayo: With an immersion blender, emulsify the soy milk, lemon juice, agave, mustard powder, salt and vinegar in a bowl for 30 seconds, then add the vegetable oil, continuing to emulsify on high until the liquid thickens.
• For the horseradish mayo: Mix the horseradish, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt and 2 cups vegan mayo in a small bowl.
• For the chipotle mayo: Mix the chipotles, lemon juice and 1 cup vegan mayo a in small bowl.
• For the mushrooms: Mix together the flour and panko in a bowl. Dredge the oyster mushrooms in the unsweetened soy milk followed by the panko mixture.
• Bring the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer.
• Fry 5 to 8 mushroom petals until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Slice the cheese 1/2-inch-thick (or however thin you like it) and place it on the buns.
• Put a pan on a burner on medium-low heat.
• Place the bun and cheese face down in the pan to melt the cheese until lightly toasted brown.
• Spread some horseradish mayo, 5 dill pickles, oyster mushrooms, red cabbage, chipotle mayo and the cheesy bun top. (Save remaining mushrooms and sauces for another use; see Cook's Notes.) Enjoy.

CHEESY HAM AND MUSHROOM STRATA

Steps:

• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Whisk the half-and-half, Parmesan and eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl.
• Layer half of the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the Swiss cheese, followed by the cooked mushrooms and the ham. Cover with the remaining bread cubes and pour the half-and-half mixture evenly over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (This can also be assembled the day of; just let soak at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.)
• On the day of baking, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Let the strata sit at room temperature while the oven preheats. Remove the plastic and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Swiss cheese. Bake until slightly puffed and just no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

HAM AND MUSHROOM FRENCH ROLLED OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs together with a splash of cool water in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Add olive oil to lightly coat a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook until it begins to brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Remove the ham from the pan and set aside. Add the mushrooms to the pan in an even layer; season with a pinch of salt. Cook until they begin to brown and wilt slightly, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the mushrooms from the pan. Wipe the pan down with a paper towel. Return the pan to medium heat and add olive oil to coat. Add the eggs and cook until just set, frequently moving the edges from the pan with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with some of the fontina and Gruyere, then add the ham and mushrooms and another layer of the cheeses. Roll the omelet to the opposite side of the pan, tilting as you go and roll onto a plate. Garnish with chives. Serve!

CHICKEN FRIED MUSHROOM PO'BOY

Steps:

• For the remoulade sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, ketchup, hot sauce, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the po'boys: Trim the mushrooms into bite-size pieces (roughly 2 inches; any smaller will make the breading process more tedious). Maitake and oyster mushrooms can be sliced/torn lengthwise, while shiitake and cremini mushrooms are best quartered.
• Pour the buttermilk and hot sauce into a shallow baking dish and whisk to combine. Add the mushrooms, then toss until evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature until well-seasoned, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the flour, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the buttermilk marinade to make shaggy clumps.
• Heat 2 inches of vegetable or canola oil in a large pot over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels for draining.
• Dip the mushrooms first in the flour mixture, turning to coat, then back in the marinade. Then dip again in the flour to coat with the clumpy bits; transfer to a plate. Working in batches, fry the mushrooms, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushrooms to the lined baking sheet and season with a pinch of salt.
• Lay the sliced tomato on the bottoms of the sub rolls, then top with the mushrooms. Drizzle the remoulade sauce over the mushrooms, top with shredded lettuce, sandwich together and serve.

LINGUINE WITH MUSHROOMS & HAM

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
• Melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and mushrooms in butter until tender. Reduce heat, and slowly stir in cream. Continue cooking until sauce has thickened, add ham and basil, and simmer for 10 more minutes.
• In a large bowl, toss linguine with cream sauce, and season with freshly ground black pepper.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS WITH SMOKED HAM

Steps:

• Place dried mushrooms in medium bowl; add enough boiling water to cover. Let stand until mushrooms soften, about 45 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to work surface; reserve mushroom soaking liquid. Chop mushrooms.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add button mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms are brown and juices evaporate, about 12 minutes. Add porcini mushrooms; stir 1 minute. Transfer mushroom mixture to medium bowl.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to same skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and next 3 ingredients. Sauté until shallots are tender, about 2 minutes. Add mushroom mixture and 1/2 cup mushroom soaking liquid, leaving behind any sediment. Cover and simmer until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally and adding more soaking liquid if mixture is dry, about 20 minutes. Add lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat before serving.)
• Transfer mushroom mixture to serving bowl. Garnish with parsley sprigs.
• Dried porcini mushrooms are available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and many supermarkets.
