Prairie View Cafe: Mushroom Bruschetta Recipe - Chef Graham Smith
Conversion Chart: Here >>
Ingredients:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
11 ounces mixed wild mushrooms, wiped clean
2 cloves of garlic, 1 peeled & finely chopped and 1 halved
A few sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves picked
A few sprigs of fresh parsley, leaves picked
A sprig of summer savory, leaves plucked (optional)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 dried red chili, crumbled
1 ounce butter
1 lemon
2 slices of brioche bread
Procedure:
1) Put a large heavy frying pan, big enough to hold all the mushrooms in one layer, over heat and add a couple of glugs of extra virgin olive oil. Depending on the size of your mushrooms, leave any small ones whole but tear, break or slice the larger ones up. Add them all to the pan and give it a shake to toss the mushrooms in the oil.
2) Add the chopped garlic and fresh herbs and shake the pan again. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and leave to sauté gently for a few minutes. If the mixture becomes dry, pour in a little more oil.
3) Once the mushrooms have got some color (about 3-4 minutes), add the
butter and a squeeze of lemon juice to give a nice twang. Don’t go overboard here, you don't need much -- and toss again.
4) Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of water into the pan. Simmer for a little longer, until you have a lovely simple sauce that just loosely coats the mushrooms.
5) Toast your bread. When toasted, rub the bread with the cut side of the remaining clove of garlic. Place each slice on a serving plate, pile the mushrooms and the creamy juices from the pan on top and tuck in.
