5 INGREDIENT ONION TART WITH MUSHROOMS RECIPE



5 Ingredient Onion Tart with Mushrooms Recipe image

Provided by The Wimpy Vegetarian

Categories     Appetizer     Vegetable Main or Side

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 frozen puff pastry
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 1/2 pounds yellow onions, (about 6 cups when thinly sliced)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, (divided (or half this amount with table salt))
1 cup finely chopped white mushrooms
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, (divided)
8 twigs fresh thyme, (divided)
9 roasted cherry tomato halves (or sun-dried tomatoes (optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Thaw the puff pastry according to the package directions, and carefully unfold it. The dough will look a little rough on the folds, so lightly roll it out using a rolling pin to even out the surface.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice 1 inch off of each side. Baste the edges of the square pastry with water using either a basting brush or your finger.
  • Then place all the cut edges onto the pastry square, forming a frame. This raised area will be the crust for the tart.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and place the puff pastry on it. Using a fork, prick the bottom of the tart numerous times. This will allow steam to escape without billowing the tart bottom up. Bake until lightly browned, about 25 - 30 minutes. If the tart bottom billows, prick with a sharp knife and gently press down. There's no need to completely flatten it, since the filling will weight it down.
  • When cooled, spread the bottom of the tart with the Dijon mustard. You don't need much - it just adds depth of savory-ness.
  • Thinly slice the onions using a sharp chef's knife. Add 2 tablespoons butter to a skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Pile in the sliced onions with 1/2 teaspoon salt, using tongs to toss and coat with the butter. The onions will begin to relax in 5 - 10 minutes. At this point, reduce the heat to medium. Sauté for 45 minutes, or browned.
  • Finely chop the mushrooms and sauté In a separate pan with 1 tablespoon of butter, 5 twigs of fresh thyme, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt over medium-low heat. Occasionally move around the pan, and sauté until the pan is dry. Mushroom contain a lot of liquid, and this can take 20 minutes or more. The mushrooms will be browned. Remove the thyme twigs when finished.
  • Add the mushrooms to the onions and stir to combine.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350˚F. Fill the puff pastry with the onion filling. Add the tomatoes if using. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and lightly sprinkle fresh thyme on top before serving.
  • Serve warm. Slice in half or quarters. For an appetizer, slice into small squares.

CARAMELISED MUSHROOM TARTLETS



Caramelised mushroom tartlets image

Try these super-clever caramelised mushroom tartlets on those occasions when you're entertaining and need an exciting canapé, but could do without the faff

Provided by Orlando Murrin

Categories     Buffet, Canapes, Snack, Starter

Time 30m

Yield Makes 12 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
250g chestnut mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
3-4 tbsp thyme leaves, finely chopped
butter, for spreading
12 slices of thin sliced white sandwich bread
100g grated gruyère or cheddar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a generous frying pan, add the onion and fry over moderate heat for about 7 mins until soft and golden. Stir in the sugar and seasoning, turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Sizzle for 5 mins until you have driven off any moisture and the mushrooms are golden. Stir in the garlic for a few further mins, until fragrant, then turn off the heat and stir in most of the thyme (save some for sprinkling). The mushroom mix can be chilled at this point.
  • To make the tartlet bases, cut 7-8cm circles out of the bread using a cookie cutter or glass. Butter one side and stick buttered-side down into a 12-hole tartlet tin. Freeze any leftovers to make breadcrumbs.
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 220C/200 fan/gas 7. Divide the mushroom mixture between the tartlets and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Don't be too tidy about this - any cheese on the tin will form a lacy edge to the tartlets. Bake for 10-15 mins until golden and bubbling. Sprinkle over the reserved herbs and serve.

Remove from the stove and let cool to room temperature. Add parsley and stir.
  • While mushroom mixture is cooling, roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface. Roll the dough out so that it will line a 10-inch removable bottom tart pan. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with the dry beans. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Remove beans and paper.
  • Lower oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
  • When both the filling and shell have cooled to room temperature fill the shell with the mushroom mixture and top with the crumbled blue cheese.

MUSHROOM TART



Mushroom tart image

Create an eye-catching mushroom tart for an easy but impressive vegetarian main course. Try a tasty pairing of earthy mushrooms, cream cheese and nutty pastry

Provided by Georgina Kiely - Digital food editor, bbcgoodfood.com

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

175g Flora 100% Natural Ingredients plus 2 tbsp
300g wholemeal flour
A small handful of thyme, leaves picked
600g mixed mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 small onion, finely choped
125g soft cheese
1/2 small bunch chives, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 egg, beaten to glaze

Steps:

  • Put 175g Flora 100% Natural Ingredients, wholemeal flour, half the thyme and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse until it starts to clump together. Add 2-3 tbsp cold water and pulse again until it forms a ball. Wrap and chill for 20 mins.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tbsp spread in a frying pan, and fry the mushrooms and onions for 10 mins until soft and lightly golden. Season well and remove from the heat.
  • Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Add a large flat baking sheet to the oven to heat up. Whisk the soft cheese with half the chives, remaining thyme and all the garlic. Season well.
  • Roll the pastry out in between two sheets of parchment to a rough rectangle shape, the thickness of a £1 coin, about 30x40cm. Remove the top layer of parchment and smooth over the soft cheese mixture, leaving a 5cm border. Spoon over the mushrooms, in an even layer over the soft cheese, then fold over the 4 sides of the border to overlap the filling slightly. Trim the sides before you fold over if you need to, but will look lovely when baked either way. Glaze the pastry with egg.
  • Using the parchment to help you, slide the tart onto the hot tray with the paper. Bake for 35-40 mins until the pasty is cooked though, and crisp. Scatter with the remaining chives to serve, along with a green salad.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces button mushrooms, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large shallot, minced
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), room temperature
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
2 tablespoons whipping cream

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until soft and dry, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to skillet, then shallot. Sauté until shallot is soft, about 4 minutes longer. Add nutmeg. Season mushroom filling with salt and pepper. Cool.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puff pastry onto lightly floured surface to 12x15-inch rectangle. Cut one 12x5-inch rectangle, two 11x1/2-inch strips and two 5x1/2-inch strips from pastry. Place rectangle on prepared baking sheet. Pierce all over with fork. Using pastry brush, brush all strips with egg. Place short strips, egg side down, atop ends of pastry to form raised crust edge; place long strips, egg side down, atop long sides of pastry. (Mushroom filling and tart shell can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.)

  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead.
  • To make the tart ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe instructions, then let it cool completely. Store the tart in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, reheat the tart in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • Garnish the tart with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or tarragon, before serving.
