Wild Mushroom And Arugula Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• In a skillet set over medium heat, heat olive oil until hot. Add the scallions and cook until softened. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes more. Transfer to a food processor and puree. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously spray large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place 1 egg roll wrapper on work surface. Using 2- to 2 1/4-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out 6 rounds from wrapper. Transfer rounds to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 egg roll wrappers, making 24 rounds total. Spray rounds with nonstick spray. Bake rounds until golden brown, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Cool.
• Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Generously spray 2 more baking sheets with nonstick spray. Combine purchased dressing, shallots, mustard, 2 teaspoons water and crushed red pepper in large bowl; stir to blend. Transfer 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing to small bowl and reserve. Place 14 ounces fresh wild mushrooms in large bowl with remaining dressing; toss to coat. Let stand 25 minutes.
• Arrange half of mushroom mixture in single layer on each prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until mushrooms are golden brown, turning mushrooms over halfway through baking, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly. Coarsely chop cooked mushrooms. Return cooked mushrooms to large bowl. Add enoki mushrooms, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and reserved 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing. Toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Store egg roll rounds airtight at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate mushroom mixture. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• Arrange egg roll rounds on platter. Spoon mushroom mixture onto egg roll rounds and serve.

Steps:

• In a skillet set over medium heat, heat olive oil until hot. Add the scallions and cook until softened. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes more. Transfer to a food processor and puree-spread on warm crostini. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

Steps:

• Put olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add andouille and saute until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove sausage to paper towel to drain.
• Add mushrooms, onion and garlic to same pot and cook 5 minutes. Add thyme and cook 1 minute.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine dried porcini and 1 1/2 cups hot water. Let sit until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from soaking liquid. Carefully pour off liquid, leaving sediment in bowl; reserve liquid. Coarsely chop porcini.
• Chop together garlic, parsley, and salt.
• Make crostini by grilling or toasting bread under broiler. Brush lightly with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium-low heat. Add porcini, shallots, and thyme, and cook, stirring often, until shallots wilt, about 10 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper. Add wine, and cook over medium-high heat until liquid is almost completely reduced, 5 to 7 minutes. Add reserved porcini liquid, and cook until almost completely reduced again, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a small bowl, and set aside.
• Rinse skillet, dry, and return to high heat. Starting with the firmest, cook wild mushrooms in two batches using a tablespoon of butter and oil for each batch. Season well with salt and pepper, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are nearly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Keep in a large bowl while second batch cooks.
• Return all the mushrooms to the pan. Add porcini and parsley mixtures. Cook over medium-high heat until garlic gives off an aroma, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust seasonings, and remove pan from heat.
• Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and serve with crostini, or spoon a bit of the mushroom mixture on each slice of crostini and arrange on a plate.
