Roasted Mushrooms Garlic Balsamic Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and place in a bowl. Add vinegar, oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Let sit while oven preheats.
• Place mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Marinade -- Toss all the ingredients in a large baggie and toss well to coat the mushrooms. As mentioned above. I like to marinade 1-2 hours. But to start I would just toss and roast. The next time you make them, try marinating a big longer until you find the time that works best for you. Balsamic can be an acquired taste. So start off slow. Also try different vinegars. I have 1 bottle of aged balsamic I use just for this type of dish or a nice salad dressing and it really makes a difference. I don't buy it often but if you use balsamic as often as I do, it is worth it.
• Roasting -- Take a large sheet of aluminum and place the mushrooms in the center and fold up like a package. Just seal well.
• Bake -- 425 for about 20-30 minutes on the middle rack. Or you can make this on the grill outside. Just be careful if you move them around. On a outside grill I do move them around a bit so they don't burn. Just use a spatula vs tongs so you don't puncture the pouch is all.

Steps:

• PREPARE:.
• Using a large baking pan with sides (I use a 9x13x2 inch), cover completely with tinfoil.
• Spray tinfoil with cooking spray at least twice (I like to step outside to do this) and set aside.
• Remove as much of the loose, paperthin covering from the bulbs that you can by hand. If it does not come off easily, don't take it off.
• Working on a cutting board, using a sharp heavy knife, cut through the tops of each bulb. Save the tops. Don't take bulbs apart.
• Place all the cut bulbs in the pan. They should be touching each other.
• Sprinkle the vinegar over the tops of garlic bulbs. If you have a small spray bottle that you can put the vinegar into, all the better.**.
• At this time, you can add some salt, lightly to the tops, if you wish (I don't).
• BAKING:.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees after you cut the bulb tops off.
• Cover the entire pan tightly with tinfoil.
• Place pan in middle half of hot oven.
• Lower heat to 350 degrees.
• Bake for 30 to forty-five minutes.
• Remove from oven in 30 minutes and test for doneness WITHOUT removing tinfoil. Using a thin sharp knife, stab once at garlic bulbs that are in center of pan. If knife goes in easily, remove tinfoil and return pan to oven for 15 minutes more for browning. If bulbs are not soft, bake another 15 minutes or until soft and then brown.
• Remove pan from oven and let cool on rack before trying to handle. The garlic can sit for up to three hours without it being affected poorly.
• REMOVAL AND STORING:.
• This is the messy part, no getting away from it. I have been known to wear thin rubber gloves (I save the kind that comes with hair dying kits) for this next part, but don't bother anymore. This is also why I make so much at a time.
• Over bowl, holding a bulb, cut side facing down, squeeze until bulbs pop out. If they are overcooked, it will be very mushy (this is how I like it). Get as much out as possible using free hand to help pull out.
• When all bulbs are done, check bowl for any skins that may have come off, and remove.
• Mash with a fork until very creamy and smooth. You can also put bulbs into a mini mixer until smooth. I don't because by the time I get all the garlic out, I'm finished by hand.
• You can store garlic in fridge for up to a month like this or freeze and keep until the next ice age. When freezing, you can divide in many ways; using half cups, using ice cube trays, or my way!
• Open a fresh gallon freezer storage bag.
• Spoon in the mashed garlic. Place on a flat surface and press garlc press down, til it fills the bag. If there is too much garlic, use two bags. After you have pressed the garlic throughout the bag, along with the air. Seal it. Place it flat in your freezer and when hard, put this bag inside another freezer bag and seal.
• Now, when you want to use the garlic, remove from the freezer at the time you are ready to use. Don't let it stand around waiting for you, as I have found that each time it defrosts and re-freezes, it loses some of its potency.
• Open bag and with the blunt end of a butter knife, cut the amount you want to use, slip the knife between the garlic and the bag and lift out. Return unused portion to freezer.
• * Garlic tops: Don't throw them away! Make some garlic broth, of course!
• ** I saved a spray margarine container for this.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 220c.
• Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, sweet chilli sauce and salt and pepper in a screw-top jar, shake well to combine.
• Place the mushrooms into a large bowl and pour over the vinegar mixture.
• Toss mushrooms with mixture well to combine ingredients and mushrooms together.
• Spoon the mushrooms and marinade into a greased baking dish and roast for about 20- 25 minutes, tossing twice during cooking, or until the mushroom are tender.
• Sprinkle mushrooms with the herbs and serve.
