Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups hot water
1 1/2-ounce package dried porcini mushrooms*
1 1/2 pounds portobello mushrooms
12 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes or white-skinned potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups hot water and porcini in small bowl. Let stand until mushrooms soften, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 2/3 cup soaking liquid. Chop porcini; set aside. Remove and chop stems from portobellos; place in large bowl. Using small spoon, scrape away dark gills from portobellos and discard. Cut portobello caps into 1/2-inch pieces; add to bowl.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped portobello stems and caps and sauté 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and reserved porcini and sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat each of two 13x9x2-inch glass baking dishes with 1 tablespoon oil. Combine remaining 7 tablespoons oil, potatoes, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in large bowl; toss to coat. Layer 1/6 of potato mixture in each prepared dish (there will not be enough to overlap slices). Top potatoes in each with 1/4 of mushroom mixture. Repeat layering. Top with remaining potatoes. Pour 1/3 cup reserved porcini soaking liquid over potatoes in each dish. Cover dishes with foil.
  • Bake gratins 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until tops are brown and potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes longer. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Cover with foil and rewarm in 350°F oven about 20 minutes.)
  • *Dried porcini mushrooms are available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores and many supermarkets.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM GRATIN



Portobello Mushroom Gratin image

I designed this portobello gratin as sort of a mix between my zucchini gratin and my bell pepper gratin with fennel and mushrooms. It's a robust blend of earthy flavors topped with the classic gratin cheese, Gruyere.

POTATO/PORTOBELLO GRATIN



Potato/Portobello Gratin image

Provided by Level Agency

Categories     Sides & Salads

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 or 6 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
2 or 3 Portobello mushroom caps, sliced thin
1 cup grated hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Asiago
3/4 cup half-and-half
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400ºF. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Using a mandoline or the slicing attachment on a food processor, slice the potatoes approximately 1/8-inch thick. (If you don't want to slice all the potatoes at once, slice them one at a time and build the gratin as you go.) Create the first layer by laying the slices in overlapping rows in the baking dish. Once the first layer is down, season lightly with salt and pepper, then scatter with mushroom slices and a couple tablespoons of the cheese. (Don't over-do it on these layers, if you create a barrier between the adjoining potato layers, the gratin won't set.) Continue building layers until you're out of potatoes or out of room to build, but be sure to save 1/2 cup of the cheese for the top.
  • Pour 2/3 cup of the half-and-half over the gratin then spread both hands over the surface and push down to work the air out from the layers. Add remaining liquid only if half-and-half does not come to the surface when you push down. Sprinkle the gratin with cheese, cover loosely with foil, and place in middle of oven for 1 hour. Check for doneness by inserting the point of a paring knife straight into the gratin. If it goes through smoothly, remove the foil, return to oven, and turn on the broiler just long enough to turn the top golden brown. Remove and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

BAKED PORTOBELLOS WITH POTATOES AND SOUR CREAM



Baked Portobellos With Potatoes and Sour Cream image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds (4 medium) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing the mushrooms
1 3/4 teaspoons salt, plus more salt to taste
3 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Portobello Caviar, prepared without parsley (see above)
4 medium (5-inch) portobello mushroom caps
Chopped parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss the potatoes with the oil and 1 teaspoon of salt and transfer them to a greased baking sheet large enough to hold them in a single layer. Bake, turning the potatoes once, until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.
  • Lower temperature to 400 degrees. Whisk together the eggs, 1/3 cup sour cream, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir in the portobello caviar. Brush the mushroom caps with olive oil, season them on both sides with salt and place them gill-side up on a greased baking sheet. Lay the potato slices over the mushrooms, letting some hang over the edges of the mushrooms like petals of a flower. Divide the caviar mixture evenly into 4 parts, mounding 1 part in the middle of each mushroom cap. Bake until the filling is set and the mushroom caps are very tender, about 30 minutes. Garnish each mushroom with a dollop of sour cream and parsley and serve.

ROASTED PORTOBELLO AND POTATO GRATIN



Roasted Portobello And Potato Gratin image

"People dismiss gratins as being old- fashioned, but that's exactly what I like about them," the chef Eric Ripert told The Times in 2002. "They're not fancy but they can be rich, and best of all, at home they're put on the table to share." This recipe layers potatoes with meaty portobello mushrooms and tops that with bread crumbs and cream, but no cheese.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH GRATINEED POTATOES



Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed with Gratineed Potatoes image

These portobellos are stuffed with garlic-and-Parmesan-infused mashed potatoes, making a hearty vegetarian dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 medium cloves garlic, unpeeled
3 large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
6 portobello mushrooms (about 1 1/2 pounds), 4 inches in diameter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap garlic cloves in aluminum foil and bake until garlic is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. When cool enough to handle, squeeze roasted garlic from skins and set aside. Leave oven at 400 degrees.
  • Scrub potatoes and place in a large pot of cold water. Bring water to a boil, add 3 teaspoons salt, and reduce heat. Gently boil until potatoes are tender, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Hold hot potatoes in a clean dish towel and peel.
  • While potatoes are boiling, warm milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until bubbles form around the edges.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Using a ricer or a food mill, puree potatoes into a large metal bowl, then place bowl over the pot of simmering water. Add the roasted garlic, warm milk, Parmesan, butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to potatoes and stir until smooth and creamy. Cover bowl with aluminum foil and keep warm over the barely simmering water until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, wipe mushrooms with a cloth or soft brush to remove dirt. Remove and discard mushroom stems. Place mushroom caps in a large roasting pan, stem side down, and drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Turn and drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and thyme leaves. Place pan in oven and bake mushrooms until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove mushrooms from oven and heat broiler. Spoon about 1/2 cup potato puree onto each mushroom.
  • Place under broiler until potatoes are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes and serve immediately.

POTATO MUSHROOM GRATIN



Potato Mushroom Gratin image

A delicious side dish which I've adapted from a recipe I found on an English website and which I am posting for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. Because I was expecting a cheese topping, this recipe had me looking up "gratin" in culinary dictionaries. What I found for "gratin" was "covered with bread crumbs and sometimes butter and grated cheese, and then browned in an oven". Something else I've learnt since this tour began. For me, "gratin" has always evoked images of either a cheese sauce or a cheese topping. Obviously topping this dish with grated cheese is an option, but the dish would be healthier without the cheese! Again, exercise your culinary discretion!

Categories     Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 rosemary sprig
3 medium baking potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
225 g mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C/Gas 7.
  • Coat a 9-inch square casserole or baking dish with olive oil, and lay the rosemary sprig on the bottom.
  • Layer half of the potato slices over the bottom of the dish and top with half of the sliced mushrooms, half of the garlic, half of the thyme and half of the walnuts; and sprinkle generously with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Top with the remaining potatoes, then scatter the remaining mushrooms, garlic, thyme and walnuts over the top of the mixture, and sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Bake, uncovered, until the top is golden and crusty, about 1 hour.
  • Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for this recipe as they hold their shape well and become creamy when cooked.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the potato slices so that they can brown evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary: If you have a large amount of potatoes, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even white wine can be used to add flavor to the gratin.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Gruyère cheese is the classic choice for potato gratin, but you can also use a combination of cheeses, such as Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella.
  • Bake the gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that the potatoes are cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

This potato and portobello mushroom gratin is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The creamy potatoes, flavorful mushrooms, and melted cheese make this dish a surefire hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
