Best 3 Pickled Mushroom Salad Recipes

PICKLED MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500. Cut the mushrooms into halves or thick slices, toss with 1/4 cup grapeseed and salt, and divide between two sheet pans. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are nicely browned.
• While the mushrooms are roasting, put the coriander seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns and star anise in a small saucepan over low heat. When they are warm and fragrant, crush in a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder until powdery. Transfer spice to a large mixing bowl with garlic, cilantro, dill, celery rib and any leaves, sugar, remaining grapeseed oil and sherry vinegar.
• When the mushrooms are nicely browned, add them to the bowl while they're hot. Pour a splash of water into each hot pan, swirl it around and pour over the mushrooms, scraping any browned bits off the pan. Mix well, and taste. Adjust for seasoning. Allow to sit for at least an hour, but ideally overnight in the fridge. Serve with bread and crème fraîche.

WARM MUSHROOM SALAD WITH BACON, SOURDOUGH CROUTONS & PICKLED-MUSHROOM VINAIGRETTE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Make Pickled Mushrooms: Place mushrooms in a small heatproof bowl. Place remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring once or twice, until sugar and salt dissolve. Strain hot pickling liquid over mushrooms. Reserve 1 tablespoon pickling liquid for vinaigrette and discard peppercorns, rosemary and garlic. Cover mushrooms with plastic wrap. Make Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon mushroom pickling liquid, oil, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste until emulsified. Set aside. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crisp and most of fat has rendered out. Add sourdough pieces to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding a little olive oil if pan seems dry, until bread begins to get crisp and golden, 7-10 minutes. Transfer bread and bacon to a bowl. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook mushrooms in skillet, stirring frequently, until slightly browned, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and turn off heat. Compose Salad: Drain pickled mushrooms. In a large bowl, combine greens, warm mushrooms, drained pickled mushrooms, croutons and bacon. Drizzle vinaigrette to taste, tossing to coat. Adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with radishes and fennel fronds, if using. Serve while mushrooms are still warm.

PICKLED MUSHROOM AND CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Pour the wine and vinegar into a flameproof casserole. Add the garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Lower the mushrooms into the liquid, raise the heat, return the liquid to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the liquid using a slotted spoon and let them dry on a clean towel. Drain the cooking liquid and reserve the solids. When dry, transfer the mushrooms to a glass jar. Add the reserved bay leaves, peppercorns, and garlic. Fill the jar with olive oil until the mushrooms are completely covered, then seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator. The mushrooms will be ready to serve after they have been infused for 24 hours but will gain more flavor over a few days. Drain the chickpeas. Transfer them to a pot and cover by twice their volume with cold water. Generously salt the water and add the rosemary and garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for about 1 hour, until cooked through but still firm. Remove from the heat and allow the chickpeas to cool in the cooking liquid, then drain them. Pick out and discard the garlic and rosemary sprig. Assembly: Transfer the drained chickpeas to a bowl. Remove the mushrooms from the oil and add them to the bowl along with the cherry tomatoes. Toss with 2 teaspoons of the oil from the jar, season with salt and pepper, and toss thoroughly but gently.
