WARM MUSHROOM & WILTED SPINACH SALAD



Warm Mushroom & Wilted Spinach Salad image

Growing up we used to have a salad like this all the time, and it was about the only way I would eat spinach. Still love this combination. I think this particular recipe originated from the side of a bag of mushrooms. I have tweaked it over the years because I don't like to cook the spinach, I prefer to just toss the hot hot dressing over the spinach, which just wilts it enough without cooking it. I'm always throwing bread loaf ends into the freezer, this is a good recipe to use some of them in. Toss the final salad with cheese if you like. Beware, your house will smell like vinegar!!

Categories     Spinach

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 lb fresh spinach (washed and dried)
1/4 red onion, very thinly sliced (white or sweet onion is good too)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
3 slices whole grain bread, any nutty, grainy bread is good
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grainy mustard
1 lb mushroom, sliced
sea salt
pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Shred the spinach by hand into a large bowl. Add the sliced onion and red pepper to the spinach.
  • Toast the bread and then cut it into crouton style cubes. Alternatively, you could cut into cubes first and toast it in the oven so they get toasty all over. Do whichever time permits. Add to the spinach.
  • Warm the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add in the garlic and let it cook for a few minutes, being careful not to burn. Stir in the lemon juice, the oregano, basil and mustard, and finally the mushrooms. Let the mushrooms cook for about 5-7 minutes and adjust the seasoning, adding in freshly ground pepper and a little sea salt. It should taste like hot salad dressing at this point. If you prefer it tangier, add more lemon juice or a little wine vinegar.
  • You should have enough dressing in the pan to fully coat the spinach now, but you can add another tbsp or so of olive oil if you feel like it's not enough. Just make sure it's nice and hot.
  • Toss the hot dressing over the spinach. Toss well so that the spinach wilts. Toss in the parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm & enjoy!

SPINACH SALAD WITH SEARED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS



Spinach Salad with Seared Shiitake Mushrooms image

Shiitakes, which are sold in my supermarket along with cremini and button mushrooms, are powerhouse mushrooms. Along with the B-vitamins and minerals that all mushrooms contain, the shiitake contains all 8 amino acids, unusual for a plant, and the essential fatty acid linoleic acid, as well as an immune-boosting chemical component called lentinan. When you pan-cook them over high heat, as you do here, the flavor is very intense, because of the natural msg that all mushrooms contain.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, finely minced or pureed in a mortar and pestle
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (can substitute some yogurt or buttermilk for some of the olive oil for a low-fat dressing)
6 large or 8 smaller fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced (discard the stems or use for stock)
1 teaspoon canola oil
Salt to taste
1 6- or 7-ounce package baby spinach, rinsed and dried
1 celery stalk, preferably from the inner heart of the celery, sliced very thin
1 to 2 tablespoons pine nuts or broken walnut pieces, lightly toasted
1 ounce crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Mix together the vinegar and lemon juice with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard using a fork or a small whisk. Whisk in the olive oil and the yogurt or buttermilk if using. Set aside.
  • Combine the spinach, nuts, celery, and goat cheese in a salad bowl.
  • Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and when very hot, add the mushrooms. Shake the pan once, then let the mushrooms cook without moving them around until they begin to sweat and soften (watch closely). After about a minute or two, when they have begun to sear and release moisture, you can move them around in the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Add to the spinach mixture and toss with the dressing. Serve at once.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM SALAD RECIPE



Spinach and Mushroom Salad Recipe image

This is a delicious recipe we have had for dinner several times. It's great for the warm summer evenings and it's an easy, but impressive salad for entertaining year round. It's very similar to the mushroom and spinach salad at one of our favorite restaurants, The Melting Pot. This recipe will make 4-6 side salads or a couple of generous entre salads. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, but this is the combination we've found to be the best for our family. The key is to use really excellent olive oil and vinegar. But, if you want, you can just use half a cup of your favorite oil and vinegar dressing instead. Enjoy!

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 side salads, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 ounces spinach (baby leaves best)
1/4 lb white mushroom, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup crisp bacon, crumbled (optional)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon minced parsley

Steps:

  • Clean the mushrooms by wiping off with a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and then slice them
  • Marinate the mushrooms in the oil and vinegar (or dressing) for one hour or until you are ready to serve the salad. If they are going to marinate for longer than an hour, I reserve some of the dressing back to toss with the spinach just before serving (mushrooms tend to soak up the dressing).
  • To serve, toss the ingredients in a salad bowl and serve on salad plates.

MUSHROOM OMELET WITH CHIVES



Mushroom Omelet With Chives image

Mushrooms are the most versatile of ingredients, with a meaty texture and a rich, deep flavor ideal for vegetarian dishes. When raw, they're elegant and delicious; when cooked, they become substantial. They are as welcome in a classic French omelet as they are in an Asian stir-fry. Mushrooms also are a nutritional bargain. Two ounces of sliced white mushrooms - about a cup - contain only 15 calories, and they are among the best dietary sources of B vitamins. Best of all, there are just so many mushroom dishes to try. This savory omelet is great for dinner or for brunch. If I'm making it for two, I make one large omelet in a 10-inch pan. It's just as easy as making two individual omelets, and both servings are ready at the same time.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick, main course, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1/4 pound white or cremini mushrooms, rinsed briefly and wiped dry
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
2 teaspoons minced flat-leaf parsley
4 eggs
1 tablespoon minced chives
2 teaspoons low-fat milk
3 tablespoons grated Gruyère cheese

Steps:

  • Trim off the ends of the mushrooms, and cut into thick slices. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the shallot, and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, two or three minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add salt to taste and the garlic, and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender, about five minutes. Stir in the parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
  • If making individual omelets: Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Break 2 eggs into a bowl, and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and 2 teaspoons milk. Whisk in half the chives. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil to the pan. When the pan feels hot as you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Tilt it slightly again, and gently shake with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand so as to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Spread half the mushrooms down the middle of the eggs. Top with half the cheese. As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom (the top will still be runny), jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. Shake in the pan for another minute if you don't like the omelet soft on the inside; for a moist omelet, tilt the pan at once and roll out onto a plate. Keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining eggs and herbs, and serve.
  • If making 1 large omelet, heat a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Beat all 4 eggs in a bowl with the milk, salt and pepper, and the chives. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the pan, and follow the instructions for the 2-egg omelet, pouring all of the eggs into the pan. The eggs will take longer to set, and you may want to flip the omelet in the pan again after it's rolled, if the middle seems too runny. Roll the finished omelet onto a platter, or cut in half in the pan, and serve.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil to the pan. When the pan feels hot as you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Tilt it slightly again, and gently shake with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand so as to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
  • Spread half the mushrooms down the middle of the eggs. Top with half the cheese. As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom (the top will still be runny), jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. Shake in the pan for another minute if you don't like the omelet soft on the inside; for a moist omelet, tilt the pan at once and roll out onto a plate. Keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining eggs and herbs, and serve.

Provided by larkspur

Categories     100+ Pasta and Noodle Recipes     Pasta by Shape Recipes     Ravioli Recipes

Time 2h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons water, or more if needed
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup chopped onion
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup mozzarella cheese
½ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 egg white, beaten
3 tablespoons butter
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Whisk together 1 teaspoon olive oil, water, and whole eggs in a bowl until evenly blended; set aside. Combine flour and salt in a separate large bowl, and make a well in the center. Pour the egg mixture into the well and stir just until combined. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes, adding more flour or water as needed. Wrap dough tightly with plastic wrap, and set aside to rest.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and continue cooking and stirring until the vegetables are soft and the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool.
  • Beat cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the cooled mushroom mixture, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach, 1 tablespoon chives, parsley, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Roll the pasta dough out to about 1/16 inch thick. Cut 3 to 4-inch circles using a large cookie cutter. Roll each circle out as thin as possible. Working with one circle at a time, brush the pasta lightly with the egg white. Scoop about 1 heaping tablespoon full of the mushroom filling onto the center of the pasta, then cover with a second piece of pasta, pinching the edges to seal. Cut the sealed ravioli with the cookie cutter once more to create a uniform shape. Place the finished ravioli on a floured baking sheet, and repeat the process with the remaining pasta and filling.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the ravioli and return to a boil. Cook until the pasta floats to the top, 3 to 4 minutes; drain.
  • To make sauce: Melt butter in a skillet over high heat, cooking and stirring until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons chives. Serve over hot ravioli.

  • Wipe the dirt off the mushrooms with paper towels. Slice the mushrooms and arrange them on a serving platter. Sprinkle the oil over the top (because the mushrooms absorb oil like a sponge, you may find it easier to brush them with the oil so that it is more evenly distributed).
  • Sprinkle the mushrooms with blossoms and chives and season with salt and pepper.
