Mixed Bitter Greens With Sauteed Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• In a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium. Add mushrooms; season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender and lightly browned, 12 to 13 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vinegar.

Steps:

• For the polenta, bring 4 1/2 cups water and the milk to a high simmer in a medium-size heavy saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add salt. Pour the cornmeal slowly into the liquid, stirring with a wire whisk to prevent clumping. Continue stirring as the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn heat to low. Cook for approximately 40 to 45 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes. If the polenta becomes quite thick, thin it with 1/2 cup water, stir well and continue cooking. Add up to 1 cup more water as necessary, to keep the polenta soft enough to stir.
• Add the butter to pot, and stir well. Add the Parmesan, if using. Taste for seasoning. Set the covered saucepan in a pot of barely simmering water, and keep warm for up to an hour or so.
• Meanwhile, put the dried mushrooms in a small bowl, and cover with about 1/2 cup boiling water. Allow to steep for 20 minutes. Remove the mushrooms, and pat dry, then chop roughly. Reserve the mushroom stock.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a sauté pan set over high heat until it has melted. Add the garlic and cook until it starts to sizzle, about 30 seconds. Do not let the garlic brown.
• Add the fresh and reconstituted mushrooms and thyme to the pan, and sauté 3 to 4 minutes, turning until browned. Add about 1/4 cup of the mushroom stock to deglaze the surface, using a wooden spoon to scrape at the browned bits. Allow the stock to reduce by half, then turn the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, whisking to combine, followed by the soy sauce, cream and olive oil. Allow mixture to cook until it thickens a little, then remove from heat. Taste for seasoning, adding black pepper, if desired.
• Put the polenta in a warmed bowl, then top with mushrooms and the sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, in large skillet over medium-high heat. Coarsely chop mushrooms and add to the pan, toss for 2 to 3 minutes then add the greens to wilt. Season with salt and pepper. Dress greens with lemon juice then toss with butter as it melts to form a sauce. Drizzle a little honey over the greens and serve.

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet cook garlic and rosemary in 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat, stirring, 30 seconds. Add mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar and remove skillet from heat.
• In a large bowl toss chicory, endive, and radicchio, with warm mushroom mixture. To skillet add 1 tablespoon vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste and heat through, stirring. Add hot dressing to salad and toss well. Add additional vinegar if using.

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mustards and 3 tablespoons of the lemon juice.
• While whisking vigorously, drizzle in the olive oil until thickened. Adjust lemon juice to taste, and season with salt and pepper.
• Place greens in a serving bowl and toss with just enough dressing to lightly coat them. Reserve any remaining dressing for another use.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
• Add chopped radish greens and cook until greens are tender, about 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.

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.
