Wild Mushroom Soup With Cannellini Beans Pearled Barley Recipes

Steps:

• Place barley into a bowl and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand for 1 hour. Drain.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and cook until slightly crisp, about 3 or 4 minutes. Stir onion, carrot, and celery into pancetta and cook until vegetables are slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Mix half of the beans into vegetable-pancetta mixture and pour in enough water to cover; stir in barley and remaining beans. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring regularly and adding more water if soup gets too thick.
• Remove saucepan from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Serve soup with rosemary leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• Place a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat to shimmering, then add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook until aromatic and just starting to soften, about 2 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have given up most of their liquid and are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the red wine and stock to deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to loosen the browned bits on the bottom. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Add the barley and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's tender, about 1 hour.
• Stir in the oat milk. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with dill and serve.

Steps:

• Wash all the mushrooms in lukewarm water in a deep bowl. Mix the mushrooms well to loosen the dirt. Remove them from the water by hand, leaving the dirt in the bottom of the bowl. Repeat until there is no dirt. Remove the stems from the oyster and shiitake mushrooms, then slice all the mushrooms. Keep the domestic mushrooms separate from the other types.
• Heat an 8-quart sauce pot over moderately high heat. Add the olive oil, the domestic mushrooms, and the minced shallots, and cook until the mushrooms are soft. Add the remaining mushrooms, and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vermouth, and reduce for 5 minutes.
• Add the milk, fresh thyme, garlic, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, and lower to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, then remove the thyme sprig, and season with salt and pepper. Allow to cool slightly, then puree in the blender.
• Meanwhile, quickly blanch the strips of black trumpet mushrooms in salted water. Cool and add to enoki mushrooms and chives.
• To serve, reheat the soup in a sauce pot or in the microwave. Divide the tossed Enoki and black trumpet mushrooms into 6 equal portions, and place them in the center of 6 bowls. Pour the soup into the bowls at the table, pouring over the mushroom mixture to heat it up.

Steps:

• Heat olive and sesame oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mustard, fenugreek, fennel, celery and cumin seeds or powder into the oil and gently toast, with the lid on for about one minute. This method flavors the oil and thus the soup with the aromatic as well as flavor properties of the spices. Be sure to keep the pot covered as the mustard seeds will "pop" and scatter.
• Once you've heard the seeds pop for about 15-20 seconds, add the onions and sautee for a few minutes. Once the onions have begun to become translucent, add the garlic and the celery. Adjust the flame as necessary, and sautee until the celery pieces are translucent.
• Squeeze the juice of ½ lemon and 2T of mirin into the pan to deglaze it. Then, add the mushrooms and gently stir over a medium flame for approximately five minutes.
• Add the cannelloni beans (you may use canned, this will reduce the cooking time), rinsed pearled barley, wakame, tamari, and broth. Add enough broth to cover the beans. If you are using fresh beans, add extra broth to cover an additional inch.
• Gently stir the soup for 40 minutes, more or less, or until beans are cooked to taste. Adjust salt to your preference.

Steps:

• Heat water to steaming and add mushrooms.
• Cover and let stand for at least 20 minutes until soft.
• Strain, reserve broth and chop mushrooms.
• Melt butter, add onion, reduce to low and cook, stirring often until caramelized (15 minutes).
• Add celery and carrots, cook 5 minutes.
• Add mushrooms, cook 2 minutes.
• Add Sherry and cook until almost evaporated.
• Stir in mushroom broth (reserved liquid from soaking), stock & barley.
• Simmer 30 minutes until almost tender.
• Stir in thyme, salt & pepper.
• Simmer 5 to 10 minutes until tender.
• For Vegetarian use the Vegetable stock.

Steps:

• Cover the porcini mushrooms with 750ml boiling water and leave to soak.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan and add the chopped mushrooms, carrot and celery. Fry over a medium-high heat for around 10 mins or until the carrots are beginning to turn dark gold. Add the barley and stir the mixture for about 2 mins, then pour in the stock.
• Drain the porcini, retaining the soaking liquor, and cut up any large bits. Add these to the pan, along with the liquor. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 30 mins (it might take a bit longer) until the barley is tender. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the dill. Serve with a dollop of soured cream on top of each bowlful and crusty bread on the side.
