These take a bit of work and time, but are spectacular. They are highly prized for Christmas gift-giving! As with other meringue recipes, these should only be made on a dry day. You will need a pastry bag with a plain tip. If you can save some green plastic berry baskets from the summertime, these mushrooms look totally realistic placed in them.

Time 1h45m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
4 ounces chocolate confectioners' coating

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • In a large glass or metal bowl, use an electric mixer to whip egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar, salt, and vanilla. Continue whipping until the whites hold soft peaks. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar so that it does not sink to the bottom, and continue whipping until the mixture holds stiff shiny peaks.
  • Place a round tip into a pastry bag, and fill the bag half way with the meringue. To pipe the mushroom caps, squeeze out round mounds of meringue onto one of the prepared cookie sheets. Pull the bag off to the side to avoid making peaks on the top. For the stems, press out a tiny bit of meringue onto the other sheet, then pull the bag straight up. They should resemble candy kisses. Do not worry about making all of the pieces exactly the same. The mushrooms will look more natural if the pieces are different sizes. Dust the mushroom caps lightly with cocoa using a small sifter or strainer.
  • Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the caps are dry enough to easily remove from the cookie sheets. Set aside to cool completely. Melt the coating chocolate in a metal bowl over simmering water, or in a glass bowl in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  • Poke a small hole in the bottom of a mushroom cap. Spread chocolate over the bottom of the cap. Dip the tip of a stem in chocolate, and press lightly into the hole. When the chocolate sets, they will hold together. Repeat with remaining pieces. Store at room temperature in a dry place or tin.

'MAZING MUSHROOMS



'Mazing Mushrooms image

This has been one of my recipes for ages. I got it from a magazine, but I've no idea which one. It is very simple to make, and looks very impressive as part of an antipasto platter. Cooking time is refrigeration time. I prefer to use field mushrooms because they have more flavour, but it has a more dramatic visual effect if you use the buttons. They also soak up a lot of flavour from the dressing. Since the dressing is so simple, it relies on good ingredients. Please use fresh everything for optimal results.

Time 4h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

300 g mushrooms (whatever kind you like)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh curly-leaf parsley, chopped roughly
1 lemon, juice of
5 -6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • If you are using button mushrooms, leave them whole.
  • Slice field mushrooms fairly thinly.
  • In a serving bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss to coat the mushrooms well.
  • At this point taste the dressing, it may need more lemon, or oil.
  • It really depends on your personal preference, however it should be slightly tart.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, tossing occasionally.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, try to use fresh mushrooms, herbs, and vegetables.
  • Sauté mushrooms properly: To get the best flavor and texture from your mushrooms, sauté them in a hot pan with a little bit of oil or butter. Cook them until they are browned and tender, but not mushy.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms: There are many different types of mushrooms available, each with its own unique flavor and texture. Try experimenting with different types to find your favorites.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam instead of brown.
  • Season mushrooms well: Mushrooms have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve mushrooms immediately: Mushrooms are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help them retain their flavor and texture.
