ROASTED MUSHROOM BASE



Roasted Mushroom Base image

At this year's Worlds of Health Flavors conference in Napa, Calif., Pam Smith, a culinary nutritionist, presented delicious recipes by the chef Clifford Pleau featuring a finely chopped roasted mushroom mix (chefs refer to it as simply "The Mix"), that she combined with beef for a delicious burger with half the meat, and with tuna for a wonderful tuna burger. Inspired, I made up a big batch of my own version of the mushroom base when I got home and had a lot of fun using it all week in adaptations of classic meat or fish dishes with the animal protein cut by half or more and replaced with the mushroom base. I recommend using pre-sliced mushrooms for this - then the mix goes very quickly. It is very easy to make and keeps well for several days in the refrigerator.

Time 45m

Yield 1 1/4 pounds or about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds mushrooms, sliced or quartered
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a large bowl, toss mushrooms with oil, salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer on baking sheets and bake in the middle and lower racks of the oven for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes and switching pans top to bottom halfway through. The mushrooms should be tender and dry when done. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Grind in a grinder or pulse in a food processor fitted with steel blade until broken down into small pieces resembling ground meat. What works best in my food processor is to pulse about 10 times, scrape down the sides of the bowl and then pulse another five to 10 times. Taste and adjust seasoning.

SAMUEL'S ROASTED MUSHROOM BASE



Samuel's Roasted Mushroom Base image

This is the mushroom base that Scott Samuel, a chef instructor at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa, Calif., uses in conjunction with beef in his burgers. I have cut the amount of olive oil to 1/4 cup from 1/2. Some of America's biggest food service companies are committed to increasing vegetable consumption, but they don't want to lose their meat-loving customers, so they are figuring out ways to create dishes with less meat that are still appealing. You may face this challenge in your own family; you want everybody to cut down on meat consumption, but they love their burgers. Mr. Samuel has developed a savory roasted mushroom base that he mixes with hamburger meat for a delicious burger. It looked, smelled, acted and tasted like a burger (well, a very vegetal burger), and it had the added quality of being very moist. Everybody gave it high marks in a taste test, and I made a mental note to make the base at home and use it in burgers, meatballs and more.

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/4 pounds (about 3 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds cremini mushrooms, cut in small dice if large, quartered if small
Kosher salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon mushroom powder, made by pulverizing dried mushrooms in a spice mill (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a large bowl mix together the olive oil, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer on the baking sheets.
  • Bake 1 sheet at a time on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender. They will reduce considerably in volume. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Process in a food processor fitted with the steel blade until chopped fine but still retaining some texture. Taste and adjust seasonings. Mix in mushroom powder if desired.
