In Russian kitchens, mushroom caviar is made with cooked mushrooms and lots of sour cream. I use canned tomatoes in this version, and the result makes a savory topping for blini (and for latke, I found, as I tested the recipe during Chanukah). Make sure to finely chop the mushrooms.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot. Cook, stirring, until tender, three to five minutes. Add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sweat, and add the garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often over medium heat, for five minutes until the mushrooms are tender and fragrant. Add the tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, and taste and adjust the seasonings. There should be very little liquid in the pan. If there is, continue to simmer uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the dill, and serve.

[email protected]The blini were a bit too thick for my taste, but the mushroom caviar was spot on. Will try again with a thinner batter.
