Sorghum With Mushroom And Miso Recipes

SORGHUM WITH MUSHROOM AND MISO

Steps:

• Combine 3 cups water, sorghum, and 1 pinch of salt in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over high; cook 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 1 hour, stirring once after 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir sorghum. Cover and let stand until more liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. (The sorghum is done when the grains are chewy-firm with a slight snap.).
• Meanwhile, heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add half of the mushrooms, and spread in an even layer. Season with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Sear 3 minutes, stirring when bottoms of mushrooms are browned and tops are glistening with mushroom sweat. Cook, stirring often, until tender and fragrant. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil, remaining half of mushrooms, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium-low; add shallot, white scallion slices, and 1 tablespoon butter to skillet. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add to mushrooms.
• Drain sorghum, reserving 2 to 3 tablespoons cooking liquid.
• Melt remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium. Whisk in the miso. Add the sorghum and reserved cooking liquid; stir to combine. (If mixture is too creamy, cook for a few minutes more to evaporate some of the liquid.) Stir in the mushroom mixture. Cook until warmed through. Stir in the green scallion slices. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MUSHROOM MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Make the dashi: Put kombu, dried shiitakes, soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a large soup pot. Add 6 cups cold water. Place over medium heat, allow the liquid to barely reach a boil, then reduce heat to low and let cook at a very slow simmer for about 30 minutes. Skim foam as necessary. Let cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and add salt to taste. (Dashi may be prepared up to 2 days in advance.)
• Put the sliced mushrooms in a bowl and drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce. Add garlic and ginger and season with salt and pepper. Toss and let marinate for 10 minutes.
• Put dashi in a large soup pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Add mushroom mixture and cook gently for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are just tender.
• Remove 1/2 cup hot broth from pot and place in a small bowl. Stir in miso to dilute, then return miso-broth mixture to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. Once the miso has been added, do not let the soup boil.
• To serve, cut the tofu in half and place a 3-ounce chunk in each of two large bowls. Ladle 2 cups of hot soup over the tofu. Sprinkle with enoki mushroom tips, scallions, shiso, sunflower sprouts, nori, red pepper and toasted sesame seeds as desired.

SORGHUM BUDDHA BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Bring water and sorghum to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until sorghum is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Combine Brussels sprouts and squash in a bowl; add jalapeno, sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon olive oil; toss until evenly coated.
• Arrange radicchio and leek on the prepared baking sheet. Stir the squash mixture again and arrange on the baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over radicchio and leek.
• Bake in the preheated oven until radicchio and leek are wilted and browned, about 10 minutes. Remove radicchio and leek from baking sheet and continue baking squash mixture until tender and browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Slice jalapeno into thin strips.
• Whisk sesame oil, brown miso, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and ginger together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
• Spoon sorghum into serving bowls. Arrange roasted vegetables on top and add black beans. Drizzle dressing over bowl.
