Sautéed Wild Mushrooms Recipes

SAUTéED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms of excess dirt using a small brush. If you need to wash them under cold water, do it quickly as mushrooms act like sponges and will soak up the water.
• Melt the butter until foaming. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and fry for 1-2 mins - try to keep the shape as this all adds to the presentation. Season and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and the parsley.

SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until tender. Stir in thyme and cook 1 minute to heat through. Season with salt and black pepper.

QUICK SAUTéED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Gently wipe the mushrooms.
• Trim and discard any tough stems. (Shiitake stems are great for stocks, but are too tough to eat. The very bottom of mushroom clusters like hen of the woods may have a slightly woody layer, so trim it away).
• Slice the mushrooms 1/8 of an inch to 1/4-inch thick.
• Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the shallots, cook 1 minute, and add the mushrooms.
• Cook, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms have released their juices and begin to brown.
• Stir in the garlic and white wine, increase the heat to high, and cook about 2 more minutes, until the wine has evaporated.
• Toss in the herbs; stir well and season to taste. Stir in the parsley and serve.

WILD MUSHROOM SAUTé

Steps:

• Finely chop 1/2 cup parsley with 1 garlic clove; set parsley mixture aside. Finely chop remaining 2 garlic cloves. Whisk chopped garlic, 4 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl to blend. Add mushrooms and toss to coat.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add mushroom mixture and saut é until mushrooms are brown and just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Mix in parsley mixture and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to bowl. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH SAUTéED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Put the cauliflower, potato and onion in a large saucepan with the butter and half of the oil. Gently heat the contents until they start to sizzle, then cover with a lid and sweat over a low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The vegetables should be softened but not coloured.
• Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, then pour in the milk and return gently to a boil. This way, there will be no scum forming from the milk. Season to taste then simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Pour in half the cream.
• Blend everything in a food processor or blender, in batches. For an extra creamy texture, push the purée through a sieve with the back of a ladle. Stir in the rest of the cream. (If preparing ahead cool, cover and chill for up to a day.)
• To serve, pick over the mushrooms. Wild mushrooms can be gritty so wash them quickly in a bowl of cold water then drain well and pat dry. Trim the stalks and chop or slice the mushrooms neatly. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and, when very hot, stir fry the mushrooms quickly until nicely browned, seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper as you cook them.
• Reheat the soup until piping hot. Check for seasoning and ladle into warmed bowls. Spoon the mushrooms into the centre and sprinkle lightly with the chives. Italy's elegant, mildly citrussy whites, such as Vernaccia di San Gimignano, or a Chardonnay would suit this rich soup.

SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS WITH SHALLOTS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Trim the mushrooms, wash them in cold water and drain well.
• If the mushrooms are large, slice them or cut them in halves or quarters.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet and add the olive oil. When it is very hot and almost smoking, add the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, shaking and tossing the skillet so that the mushrooms cook evenly until they are browned and crisp. They should be almost mahogany in color.
• Add the butter, and quickly sprinkle in the bread crumbs, shallots and garlic, and toss well for 10 seconds. Add the parsley and serve immediately.

SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS WITH MUSHROOM RAVIOLI

Serve hot with grated parmesan.
