Categories     Sauce     Mushroom

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 pound mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 shallot, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Trim off, if necessary, the woody part of the mushroom stems, and with a damp cloth wipe off any dirt (don't immerse the mushrooms in water). Chop both stems and caps into small dice. Spread them out on a towel, and sprinkle the salt over them. After about 10 minutes, pat dry to remove excess juice. Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a fairly large skillet, toss in the shallot, and sauté it gently for about 2 minutes. When the mushrooms have released their liquid, add them to the shallot, and cook together few minutes, until the pan is dry. Cool, and store in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze.

Roast Pheasant With Wild Mushroom Duxelles and Roasted Vegetables image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 1/2 cups mixed wild mushrooms, like shiitake, cremini and portobello
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 pheasants, wing tips removed
2 heads roasted garlic
8 medium-size carrots, peeled, halved crosswise and quartered lengthwise
4 small baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 6 pieces
6 small onions, peeled and quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 15 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have given off their liquid and most liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use your fingers to carefully loosen the skin over the breasts on each pheasant. Place some of the mushroom duxelle under the skin of each bird. Place 1 head of roasted garlic into the cavity of each bird. Rub the remaining teaspoon of olive oil over the skin of the pheasants. Season with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together. Place in a large roasting pan and surround with the carrots, potatoes and onions.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, stopping once to run a spatula under the pheasants to prevent them from sticking. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Roast until the juices run slightly pink when pricked with a fork in the thickest part of the leg, about 30 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove the string. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Cut the pheasants in half and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 croustades

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 slices fresh thin-sliced white bread (I use Pepperidge Farm)
2 tablespoons melted butter
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped in food processor
1/2 lb mushroom, finely chopped in food processor
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Croustades: with a pastry brush, coat the inside of two miniature muffin pans (24 total muffins) with the melted butter.
  • With a plain or fluted 2 1/2" cutter, cut rounds from the 24 slices of bread; carefully fit them into the muffin tins, pushing the center of the bread into the well and gently molding them around the bottom of the tin Push the tops of the bread rounds into petal shapes; each bread round should form a little cup Bake the croustades at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until they brown slightly on the rims, then remove them from the tins and let them cool.
  • Duxelles: In a heavy 10-inch skillet, slowly melt the butter; add the shallots, stir them and cook over moderate heat for about 4 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and stir thoroughly to coat them with butter In a few minutes, they will begin to give up a good deal of moisture Stir them from time to time and continue to cook until all the moisture has evaporated, about 10-15 minutes; remove pan from heat; cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir until not a trace of flour is visible; pour in the cream.
  • Put pan back on heat and stir constantly while bringing to a boil; simmer 5 minutes Remove from heat; add salt, parsley, chives and lemon juice.
  • Cool filling.
  • Use a small spoon or a decorating bag to fill the croustades, mounding the filling slightly; sprinkle each one with a little bit of parmesan cheese.
  • Before serving, heat the croustades at 350° for about 10 minutes.

MUSHROOM ESSENTIALS: DUXELLES



Mushroom Essentials: Duxelles image

Duxelles (pronounced duck-sell) is a French mushroom base that is used in many recipes. For example, if you have ever made a Beef Wellington you are probably already familiar with this ingredient. However, it has so many other applications. Use it as a topping on a burger or baked potato. It goes great with chicken or even...

Categories     Vegetables

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

PLAN/PURCHASE
8 oz fresh mushrooms (any kind, or variety)
2 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dried thyme
salt, kosher variety, fine grind, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1/4 c white wine, dry variety

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. If you have a food processor, it will help in speeding up the process.
  • 3. Mushrooms You do not have to use just one type of shrooms. Try a mixture of your favorite varieties. And because you are finely chopping them, you can use the stems.
  • 4. Storage Duxelles will keep for 1 - 2 days wrapped up in the fridge, or 3 - 4 months if frozen in a Ziploc bag, or 6 - 8 months if vacuum-sealed and frozen.
  • 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 6. Roughly chop the mushrooms, and the onions.
  • 7. Add the mushrooms and onions to a food processor, fitted with an S-blade.
  • 8. Use 1-second pulses until the ingredients are finely chopped.
  • 9. If you do not have a food processor, it will take a bit longer, but use a sharp knife to finely chop the veggies.
  • 10. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium heat.
  • 11. When the butter melts, add the mushroom/onion mixture.
  • 12. Add the thyme, salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
  • 13. Stir until the mushrooms release their moisture, and then evaporates, about 6 - 8 minutes.
  • 14. Add the second tablespoon of butter, and after it melts, add the wine, and stir until the liquid evaporates, about 6 - 8 minutes.
  • 15. Remove from the heat and do a tasting for proper seasoning.
  • 16. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 17. If you are not doing Beef Wellington, think of it as a super flavorful topping for things like steaks, chicken, fish; even a topping for a burger. Enjoy.
  • 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms have a better flavor and texture than dried or canned mushrooms.
  • Chop the mushrooms finely. This will help them to cook evenly and release their flavor.
  • Sauté the mushrooms in butter. Butter will help to brown the mushrooms and add a rich flavor.
  • Add shallots or onions. Shallots or onions will add a sweet flavor to the duxelles.
  • Season the duxelles with salt and pepper. Salt and pepper will help to enhance the flavor of the mushrooms.
  • Use duxelles as a filling for chicken, fish, or vegetables. Duxelles can also be used as a topping for pasta or pizza.

Conclusion:

Duxelles is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add flavor and texture to your favorite recipes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own duxelles at home.
