Mushrooms With Herb Cream Recipes

SHRIMP AND MUSHROOM LINGUINI WITH CREAMY CHEESE HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguini and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until tender. Transfer to a plate.
• In the same pan, melt 1/2 cup butter with the minced garlic. Stir in the cream cheese, breaking it up with a spoon as it melts. Stir in the parsley and basil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Mix in boiling water until sauce is smooth. Stir in cooked shrimp and mushrooms; heat sauce through.
• Toss linguini with shrimp sauce and serve.

MUSHROOMS IN CREAM AND SHERRY HERB CRUST

Steps:

• To make the herb crust, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Gruy ere cheese, parsley, basil and thyme. Blend and set aside.
• Cut away and discard the stems of all the mushrooms. Cut all the mushroom caps into fairly large bite-size pieces. They will shrink as they cook.
• Heat the butter in a skillet and add the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Cook until the liquid evaporates. The cooking time should be five to eight minutes. Scrape the mushrooms into a bowl and set aside.
• To the skillet add the Madeira, Sherry, cream, salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat about 10 minutes or until the sauce is reduced to about one-half cup.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to high.
• Add the mushrooms to the cream sauce and blend. Spoon and scrape the mixture into a heat-proof serving dish. Cover with the herb and crumb mixture.
• Run the dish under the broiler and broil until the crust is nicely browned. Garnish, if desired, with sprigs of fresh parsley or fresh coriander leaves.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms, cap sides down, without stirring, until caps are caramelized, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium. Toss mushrooms, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until mushrooms are well browned, about 5 minutes more. Add garlic, butter, and thyme. Cook until garlic is golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Add wine. Return skillet to heat, and cook until wine is evaporated, about 4 minutes. Garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
