WHOLE ROASTED MAITAKE STEAKS WITH JAPANESE SWEETS-AND-LEEKS MASH



Whole Roasted Maitake Steaks with Japanese Sweets-and-Leeks Mash image

How's this for a magnificent, meat-free entrée? The maitake mushroom is serendipitously steak-size, and looks regal atop the Japanese sweet-potato-and-leek mash. Drizzled with soy sauce and lime and roasted at high heat, the maitake's texture concentrates to near-porterhouse perfection.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated lime zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 clusters (each 3.5 ounces) maitake mushrooms (aka hen-of-the-woods)
1 recipe Japanese Sweets-and-Leeks Mash
Rice seasoning (furikake), for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce and lime zest and juice. Slowly whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly drizzle oil onto a rimmed baking sheet. Trim bottom ends of mushroom clusters so they stand upright; transfer to sheet in a single layer, trimmed-sides down, at least 2 inches apart. Drizzle evenly with half of soy mixture; season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast until darkened slightly and tender but still holding their shape, 22 to 25 minutes. Serve mushrooms over mash, drizzled with remaining soy-lime dressing and sprinkled with rice seasoning.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Potatoes: Select firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth skin and no signs of sprouting or bruising. Smaller potatoes cook more evenly and have a better texture.
  • Proper Preparation: Scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Cut them into uniform sizes and shapes to ensure even cooking. Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting helps remove excess starch and results in crispier potatoes.
  • Seasoning and Spices: Experiment with different seasonings and spices to add flavor to your roasted potatoes. Classic options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. For a sweeter variation, try cinnamon or nutmeg. Olive oil or melted butter helps evenly coat the potatoes and enhances their flavor.
  • Roasting Technique: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing the potatoes inside. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly and have crispy edges. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for uniform browning.
  • Adding Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the roasting pan for a colorful and flavorful side dish. Vegetables like carrots, parsnips, bell peppers, and zucchini pair well with sweet potatoes. Toss them with some olive oil, salt, and pepper for a delicious medley.

Conclusion:

Roasted sweet potatoes are a versatile and delectable dish that can be enjoyed as a side or main course. With their naturally sweet flavor and crispy texture, they are a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips and exploring different variations, you can create a perfect roasted sweet potato dish that will impress your taste buds and leave you wanting more.
