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

  • 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.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the arugula on 4 lunch plates (or on a platter) and cover each portion with 2 slices of prosciutto. 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.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED MUSHROOMS - BAREFOOT CONTESSA



Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms - Barefoot Contessa image

This is a GREAT addition to the holiday feast...or for anytime! They are crusty on top and juicy on the inside. The Panko crumbs give them a very nice crispness. You can use any type of sausage, mild or spicy, or mix them up. Try to get a good Italian Mascarpone cheese, I find it makes a difference. I also drizzle any leftover Marsala mixture over the top of the stuffing before adding to the shrooms. I may try shallots instead of the green onions, but it is DIVINE just as it is.This is adapted from FN- Barefoot Contessa. Hope you enjoy!

CARAMELIZED ONIONS (INA GARTEN BAREFOOT CONTESSA)



Caramelized Onions (Ina Garten Barefoot Contessa) image

I've made this recipe twice and enjoyed them both times. The thyme gives the onions a special flavor. I have not tried it with fresh thyme yet, only dried. I used Vidalia onions when they were in season and sliced them very thin using a mandolin. Ina recommends using a good quality olive oil, of course.

Provided by Marie Nixon

Categories     Onions

Time 47m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 lbs yellow onions, peeled and sliced in half-rounds
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large shallow pot, add onions and thyme and toss with the oil.
  • Place the lid on top and cook over medium low heat for about 10 minutes to sweat the onions. Remove the lid and continue to cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally for 25 to 30 minutes, until t he onions are caramlized and golden brown. This could take much longer than 30 minutes, if your stove top is on a very low setting. If the onions are cooking too fast, lower the heat. Don't rush the process. It is worth the wait.
  • Add the sherry wine vinegar, salt and pepper and cook for 2 more minutes, scraping the brown bits from the pan. Season to taste. They should be highly seasoned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. For this recipe, cremini mushrooms are a good choice because they have a mild flavor and hold their shape well when cooked. However, you can use any type of mushroom you like.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly. Use a damp paper towel to wipe away any dirt or debris from the mushrooms. Do not wash the mushrooms under running water, as this will make them soggy.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly. This will help them cook evenly. If the mushrooms are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet. This will give the mushrooms plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly. If the mushrooms are crowded in the skillet, they will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. This will help them to brown evenly and develop a rich flavor. If you cook the mushrooms over too high heat, they will burn.
  • Stir the mushrooms frequently. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the skillet and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the mushrooms to taste. Salt and pepper are classic seasonings for mushrooms, but you can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Barefoot Contessa's Sautéed Mushrooms are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make this classic dish at home.
