Wild Mushroom Sauté Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the mushrooms thoroughly in cold water.
• Lift the mushrooms from the water and drain well.
• Cut the larger mushrooms into 1 inch pieces.
• Melt the butter in the oil in a large saucepan.
• Add the mushrooms and saute over high heat until the liquid released has evaporated and the mushrooms are browned all over, about 20 minutes.
• Add the shallots, garlic, salt and pepper and saute for 1 minute.
• Sprinkle the herbs on the mushrooms and serve with bread.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large skillet. When foaming subsides, add the garlic, mushrooms and saute for a minute or until mushrooms are coated with butter. Add a tablespoonful or so of white wine vinegar + 1 tablespoon of water. Cover and simmer for 4 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
• Uncover the skillet and evaporate the liquid. Stir in the parsley, cover and simmer until the parsley has wilted; season well to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with either one of veal recipes.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and saute 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until mushrooms are tender. Add sherry and soy sauce and bring to a simmer. Add spinach (add spinach in batches if necessary), and simmer 1 to 2 minutes, until spinach wilts, turning frequently.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until tender. Stir in thyme and cook 1 minute to heat through. Season with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Brush the caps of each mushroom with a clean sponge. Remove and discard the stems. Slice the small mushrooms thickly and cut the large ones in a large dice.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (11 - inch) Dutch oven or saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the butter, mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until they are tender and begin to release their juices, stirring often. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Toss in the parsley, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet to high heat and add the oil. Wait 1 or 2 minutes for it to come up to the smoking point. Add the onion and garlic and toss furiously so that the garlic doesn't burn. When the onions become translucent add the mushrooms and toss until all mushrooms are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from the heat. Add butter and thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
• Cook's Note: Never run mushrooms directly under water; they will absorb water like a sponge, and your saute will be far too soggy. Instead, using a slightly damp paper towel, wipe mushrooms down. Alternatively, use pastry brush and dust the dirt from the mushrooms.

Steps:

• Finely chop 1/2 cup parsley with 1 garlic clove; set parsley mixture aside. Finely chop remaining 2 garlic cloves. Whisk chopped garlic, 4 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl to blend. Add mushrooms and toss to coat.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add mushroom mixture and saut é until mushrooms are brown and just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Mix in parsley mixture and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to bowl. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter.
• Once butter melts, add the garlic and shallots, cook for 30 seconds and add mushrooms and combine.
• Sprinkle thyme over mushrooms, stirring frequently until they brown; add salt and pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 more minutes, stirring to evenly distribute.
• Whisk the wine into the pan and cook it off for a minute, then whisk in the stock.
• Thicken the stock for a minute, then add the half-and-half and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Cut the toasted bread in triangle halves. Arrange 4 toast triangles on a dinner plate. Pour 1/4 of the mushrooms across each portion and top with Gruyere.

Steps:

• Finely chop 1/2 cup parsley with 1 garlic clove; set parsley mixture aside. Finely chop remaining 2 garlic cloves. Whisk chopped garlic, 4 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl to blend. Add mushrooms and toss to coat.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add mushroom mixture and saut
 until mushrooms are brown and just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Mix in parsley mixture and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to bowl. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted.
• Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the thyme and mushrooms and sauté 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and raise the heat to high. Cook, stirring constantly, until mushrooms are tender and wine is almost evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Season with the salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in mushrooms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Mix in tarragon; cook 1 minute. Sprinkle with goat cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Melt 1/4 cup butter in large pot over high heat. Add shallots and thyme; sauté until shallots begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add all mushrooms; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until juices evaporate, about 10 minutes. Add Madeira; toss until evaporated, about 1 minute. Set aside.
• Cook haricots verts in medium pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Let stand until ready to use, up to 2 hours.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to mushrooms in pot. Add haricots verts. Toss over medium-high heat until butter melts and vegetables are heated through, adding broth by tablespoonfuls if mixture is dry, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer vegetables to bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the EVOO and butter. When the butter melts, add the garlic and shallots and swish around for 30 seconds, then add the mushrooms and combine. Sprinkle the chopped thyme over the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms, stirring frequently, until they brown. Add salt and pepper to taste. (Do not season mushrooms before they brown. Salt draws out liquid and will make the mushrooms wet and as a result, they will actually take longer to brown.) Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, stirring to evenly distribute. Whisk the sherry into the pan first and cook it off for a minute, then whisk in the stock. Thicken the stock for a minute, then add the cream and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Cut the toasted bread from corner to corner. Arrange 4 triangles of toast on each dinner plate. Pour one quarter of the mushrooms across each portion and top with lots of Gruyère and with thyme sprigs. Serve with a tossed green salad or baby spinach salad.

• Stir in garlic, herbs, and vinegar; cook 30 seconds more.
• Remove to a heated serving dish.
