Best 7 Pickled Mushroom And Chickpea Salad Recipes

PICKLED MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500. Cut the mushrooms into halves or thick slices, toss with 1/4 cup grapeseed and salt, and divide between two sheet pans. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are nicely browned.
• While the mushrooms are roasting, put the coriander seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns and star anise in a small saucepan over low heat. When they are warm and fragrant, crush in a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder until powdery. Transfer spice to a large mixing bowl with garlic, cilantro, dill, celery rib and any leaves, sugar, remaining grapeseed oil and sherry vinegar.
• When the mushrooms are nicely browned, add them to the bowl while they're hot. Pour a splash of water into each hot pan, swirl it around and pour over the mushrooms, scraping any browned bits off the pan. Mix well, and taste. Adjust for seasoning. Allow to sit for at least an hour, but ideally overnight in the fridge. Serve with bread and crème fraîche.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Place the onions in a bowl of cool water and let them soak while you prepare the other ingredients (this removes the harsher bite from the onions, while still giving great flavor).
• Place the chickpeas, parsley, bell peppers, cucumber, and feta in a large serving bowl.
• In a small mixing bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the dressing ingredients: olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Drain the red onions and add them to the chickpea mixture, then pour the dressing over the top. Toss to combine. If time allows, let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or enjoy immediately.

PICKLED MUSHROOM AND CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Pour the wine and vinegar into a flameproof casserole. Add the garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Lower the mushrooms into the liquid, raise the heat, return the liquid to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the liquid using a slotted spoon and let them dry on a clean towel. Drain the cooking liquid and reserve the solids. When dry, transfer the mushrooms to a glass jar. Add the reserved bay leaves, peppercorns, and garlic. Fill the jar with olive oil until the mushrooms are completely covered, then seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator. The mushrooms will be ready to serve after they have been infused for 24 hours but will gain more flavor over a few days. Drain the chickpeas. Transfer them to a pot and cover by twice their volume with cold water. Generously salt the water and add the rosemary and garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for about 1 hour, until cooked through but still firm. Remove from the heat and allow the chickpeas to cool in the cooking liquid, then drain them. Pick out and discard the garlic and rosemary sprig. Assembly: Transfer the drained chickpeas to a bowl. Remove the mushrooms from the oil and add them to the bowl along with the cherry tomatoes. Toss with 2 teaspoons of the oil from the jar, season with salt and pepper, and toss thoroughly but gently.

CRISPY CHICKPEA PANCAKES WITH ROASTED MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Make the pancake batter: Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and gradually whisk in the chickpea flour in small amounts to avoid lumps. Add the salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons oil, and whisk again until smooth. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream. If it's too thick, whisk in more warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time. If the batter is lumpy, use an immersion blender or blender to get it nice and smooth. Set the batter aside at room temperature for about 2 hours.
• Make the topping: Position racks near the top and bottom of the oven, and heat oven to 450 degrees. Roughly chop or tear the mushrooms and toss with 2 tablespoons oil and the kosher salt on a sheet pan. Spread the mushrooms in an even layer and roast on the top rack for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned, mixing the mushrooms midway so they cook evenly.
• Meanwhile, make the pancakes: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in an 8- or 9-inch frying pan with an ovenproof handle over medium. When the oil is hot, swirl it to evenly coat the bottom of the pan and pour in half the chickpea batter. It should be about ¼ inch deep. When the bottom is set, after about 1 minute, slide the pan onto the lower oven rack and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp, but the center is still tender. Use a spatula to release the edges and slide it onto a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the remaining batter.
• Tear the radicchio leaves into bite-size pieces, then add to the sheet pan of slightly cooled mushrooms along with the vinegar and remaining tablespoon oil. Season with the flaky salt and black pepper, and mix well. Cut the pancakes into squares, transfer to serving plates, top with the mushroom mix and eat while still warm.
