PICKLED MUSHROOM SALAD



Pickled Mushroom Salad image

This recipe for roasted mushrooms dressed with sherry vinegar and spices is an adaptation of Patch Troffer's delicious pickled mushrooms at Marlow & Sons, where it's served simply as it is, with a drizzle of chile oil. Mixed with some sliced vegetables and roughly picked herbs, it makes for an excellent snack with a glass of wine, or a fall salad. Or serve it with a spoonful of something creamy, like crème fraîche or mascarpone, and pile everything up on thickly cut toasts.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds mixed mushrooms, like cremini, maitake, shiitake and trumpet
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 piece star anise
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely grated
1 handful cilantro, roughly chopped
1 handful dill sprigs
1 rib celery heart, thinly sliced, plus leaves
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
Bread
Crème fraîche, to serve

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound cremini mushrooms
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons good olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 bunches of fresh arugula, washed and spun dry
8 slices good Italian prosciutto
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
Chunk of Parmesan cheese
8 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and julienned
Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Clean the mushrooms by brushing the tops with a clean sponge. Don't wash them! Remove and discard the stems and slice the caps 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. In a large saute pan, heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until bubbly. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper to the pan, and saute for 3 minutes over medium heat, tossing frequently. Reduce the heat to low and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.

When the mushrooms are cooked, add the sherry vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan. Spoon the mushrooms and sauce on top of the prosciutto. With a vegetable peeler, make large shavings of Parmesan cheese and place on top of the hot mushrooms. Sprinkle with the sun-dried tomatoes, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper, and serve warm.

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 (4-inch) sprig rosemary
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
For the Salad:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 strips bacon (about 2 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch wide pieces
1 heaping cup bite-size sourdough bread pieces, torn by hand
2 cups mixed mushrooms (about 3/4 pound total), such as trumpet, oyster, shiitake or pioppino, cut into chunks
4 packed cups mixed baby greens (about 1/2 pound total), such as kale, chard or other hearty lettuces
Sliced radishes and fennel fronds, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make Pickled Mushrooms: Place mushrooms in a small heatproof bowl. Place remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring once or twice, until sugar and salt dissolve. Strain hot pickling liquid over mushrooms. Reserve 1 tablespoon pickling liquid for vinaigrette and discard peppercorns, rosemary and garlic. Cover mushrooms with plastic wrap. Make Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon mushroom pickling liquid, oil, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste until emulsified. Set aside. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crisp and most of fat has rendered out. Add sourdough pieces to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding a little olive oil if pan seems dry, until bread begins to get crisp and golden, 7-10 minutes. Transfer bread and bacon to a bowl. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook mushrooms in skillet, stirring frequently, until slightly browned, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and turn off heat. Compose Salad: Drain pickled mushrooms. In a large bowl, combine greens, warm mushrooms, drained pickled mushrooms, croutons and bacon. Drizzle vinaigrette to taste, tossing to coat. Adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with radishes and fennel fronds, if using. Serve while mushrooms are still warm.

WARM BACON-MUSHROOM VINAIGRETTE



Warm Bacon-Mushroom Vinaigrette image

Provided by Bon Appétit Test Kitchen

Categories     Mushroom     Salad Dressing     Vinegar     Bacon     Parsley     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces bacon (about 4 slices)
2 cups sliced mushrooms
3 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Cut 4 ounces bacon (about 4 slices) into 1/2"-wide strips. Cook bacon with 3 tablespoons water in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until bacon starts to crisp. Add 2 cups sliced mushrooms; cook, tossing occasionally, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons Sherry vinegar and 1/4 cup water; simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Rewarm before using.

Tips:

- To achieve perfectly crispy bacon, cook it over medium heat until it reaches your desired doneness. This will prevent it from burning or becoming too chewy. - For a flavorful and aromatic sourdough crouton, brush the bread cubes with olive oil and sprinkle them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper before toasting them in the oven. - Pickling the mushrooms not only adds a tangy and savory flavor to the salad but also extends their shelf life. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of vinegar or omit it altogether. - To make the pickled mushroom vinaigrette, use a high-quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The vinegar's acidity will help balance the richness of the olive oil and create a well-rounded dressing. - When assembling the salad, layer the ingredients in a way that showcases their visual appeal. Arrange the bacon, sourdough croutons, pickled mushrooms, and arugula in separate sections, then drizzle the dressing over the top.

This warm mushroom salad with bacon, sourdough croutons, pickled mushroom vinaigrette is a delightful blend of flavors and textures.
