Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups thinly sliced cremini mushrooms
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup unbleached, nonbromated flour
1/2 cup dry red wine
4 cups beef stock or chicken stock
1 cup pearled barley
1 cup unsweetened oat milk
Fresh dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat to shimmering, then add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook until aromatic and just starting to soften, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have given up most of their liquid and are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the red wine and stock to deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to loosen the browned bits on the bottom. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Add the barley and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's tender, about 1 hour.
  • Stir in the oat milk. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with dill and serve.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h50m

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms
5 ounces fresh portobello mushrooms
5 ounces fresh cremini (or porcini) mushrooms
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1/4 pound (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 carrot, chopped
1 sprig fresh thyme plus 1 teaspoon minced thyme leaves, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (2 leeks)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a dry paper towel. Don't wash them! Separate the stems, trim off any bad parts, and coarsely chop the stems. Slice the mushroom caps 1/4-inch thick and, if they are big, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • To make the stock, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot. Add the chopped mushroom stems, the onion, carrot, the sprig of thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Add 6 cups water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid. You should have about 4 1/2 cups of stock. If not, add some water.
  • Meanwhile, in another large pot, heat the remaining 1/4 pound of butter and add the leeks. Cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the leeks begin to brown. Add the sliced mushroom caps and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are browned and tender. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine and stir for another minute, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add the mushroom stock, minced thyme leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the half-and-half, cream, and parsley, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and heat through but do not boil. Serve hot.
