Roasted Mushrooms And Pearl Onions Recipes

ROASTED MUSHROOMS AND PEARL ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• On the sheet, toss mushrooms with onions and oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Roast until tender and browned, stirring halfway through, about 30 minutes.

SKILLET-ROASTED AND CREAMED MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Skillet-roast the garlic cloves: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unpeeled garlic cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, so that the skin gets charred on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and wrap the garlic cloves in a clean kitchen towel for a few minutes to cool and soften. Peel off the skins and set aside.
• Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms to the dry skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their natural juices and begin to soften and brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
• Melt the butter in the same skillet, then add the thawed pearl onions and the peeled skillet-roasted garlic cloves. Toss to coat completely in the butter.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until the onions begin to caramelize and turn golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Sprinkle the sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt over the top of the onions and garlic, then add the vegetable stock, vinegar and thyme sprigs, stirring often and scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Then add the reserved mushrooms back into the pan, tossing with the onions and garlic.
• Simmer over medium-high heat until the liquid begins to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the cream, nutmeg, and Parmesan to coat and bring to a simmer so that the sauce warms through completely, 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.

MUSHROOM BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons butter or oil to a large Dutch oven or pot and set it over medium heat. When the fat is hot, stir in half the mushrooms and half the pearl onions. (If it doesn't all fit in the pot in one layer, you might have to do this in three batches, rather than two.) Without moving them around too much, cook the mushrooms until they are brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Stir and let them brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mushrooms and onions to a large bowl or plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with another 2 tablespoons butter and the remaining mushrooms and pearl onions, seasoning them as you go.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add another 1 tablespoon butter or oil to pan. Add leeks and carrot and sauté until the leeks turn lightly golden and start to soften, 5 minutes. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute longer. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then add wine, broth, 1 tablespoon tamari, thyme and bay leaf, scraping up the brown bits at bottom of pot.
• Add reserved cooked mushrooms and pearl onions back to the pot and bring to a simmer. Partly cover the pot and simmer on low heat until carrots and onions are tender and sauce is thick, 30 to 40 minutes. Taste and add more salt and tamari if needed. Stir in the grated garlic clove.
• Just before serving, heat a small skillet over high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon butter or oil. Add half of the sliced chanterelles or oyster mushrooms and let cook without moving until they are crisp and brown on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika. Repeat with remaining butter and mushrooms. Serve mushroom Bourguignon over polenta, noodles or mashed potatoes, topped with fried mushrooms and parsley.
