ROLLED MUSHROOM TAQUITOS WITH ROASTED TOMATILLO-CILANTRO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the mushrooms, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cilantro, and season the mushroom filling to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place the tortillas on a work surface and spread 2 tablespoons of the filling down the center. Roll them up like a soft taco (into a cylinder). Place a toothpick in the center and one at each end of each taquito to keep the filling from falling out. (These can be made 1 day ahead to this point. Transfer them to baking sheets, cover, and refrigerate.)
• Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat, and add enough vegetable oil to reach halfway up the sides of the pan. Heat the oil to 350°F. Working in batches, fry the taquitos until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer them to paper towels to drain.
• Remove the toothpicks from the taquitos, and transfer the taquitos to a platter. Spoon the tomatillo-cilantro salsa down the center of each taquito, and serve.

ROASTED MUSHROOM SOUP

• Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir the onions, 2 minced cloves garlic, and the thyme into the melted butter; cook and stir until the onions are completely soft, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Combine the mushroom mixture and the onion mixture in the bowl of a blender or food processor with about half of the heavy cream; blend on low until combined yet slightly chunky. Return the blended mixture to the stockpot. Stir the remaining heavy cream, the chicken broth, milk, and black pepper through the blended mixture; bring the resulting soup to a simmer, and cook until the flavors are thoroughly combined, at least 15 minutes.
