Time 30m

Yield Forty small crostini, or about 15 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 ounces dried porcini, or cepes
1 tablespoon olive oil
24 ounces fresh small white domestic mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small red onion, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
10 thick slices of sourdough bread

Steps:

  • Place the porcini in a bowl and cover with warm water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, or until soft. Drain, reserving the liquid. Strain the porcini liquid and set aside.
  • In a large saute pan over a high flame, heat the olive oil. Add the button mushrooms, the softened porcini, garlic and onion. Saute until the onions are transparent and the mushrooms are cooked. Add the porcini liquid and cook until it is reduced by half. Add the heavy cream, bring to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook until the cream is reduced to a thick consistency. Remove from the heat and add two tablespoons of the Parmigiano cheese, the parsley and salt and pepper to taste.

WILD MUSHROOM CROSTINI

Sauteed wild mushrooms are delicious served with grilled bread brushed with olive oil. White button mushrooms can be substituted for the wild mushrooms.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 long Italian or French bread, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
Extra-virgin olive oil, for bread
1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, (about 5 sprigs)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or as needed
3 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini, oyster, and chanterelle, cut into 3/8-inch slices

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine dried porcini and 1 1/2 cups hot water. Let sit until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from soaking liquid. Carefully pour off liquid, leaving sediment in bowl; reserve liquid. Coarsely chop porcini.
  • Chop together garlic, parsley, and salt.
  • Make crostini by grilling or toasting bread under broiler. Brush lightly with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium-low heat. Add porcini, shallots, and thyme, and cook, stirring often, until shallots wilt, about 10 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper. Add wine, and cook over medium-high heat until liquid is almost completely reduced, 5 to 7 minutes. Add reserved porcini liquid, and cook until almost completely reduced again, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a small bowl, and set aside.
  • Rinse skillet, dry, and return to high heat. Starting with the firmest, cook wild mushrooms in two batches using a tablespoon of butter and oil for each batch. Season well with salt and pepper, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are nearly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Keep in a large bowl while second batch cooks.
  • Return all the mushrooms to the pan. Add porcini and parsley mixtures. Cook over medium-high heat until garlic gives off an aroma, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust seasonings, and remove pan from heat.
  • Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and serve with crostini, or spoon a bit of the mushroom mixture on each slice of crostini and arrange on a plate.
