Best 7 Wild Mushroom Timbales With Bacon And Arugula Recipes

WILD MUSHROOM TIMBALES WITH BACON AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Stir the salt, pepper, lemon zest, parsley, thyme and Parmesan into the mushrooms. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, milk and eggs. Stir in the mushroom mixture. Spray 8 6-ounce ramekins with vegetable oil. Fill each with the custard and set in a large roasting pan.
• Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until set, about 55 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, crumble and set aside. Pour the fat from the skillet. Add the vinegar and demi-glace and simmer over medium heat for 2 minutes, scraping up any bacon bits stuck to the pan.
• Run the tip of a small knife around the edge of the ramekins to loosen the custards. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sauce onto the center of 8 plates. Mound 1 cup of arugula in the center of each plate. Unmold the timbales onto the center of the arugula. Scatter the bacon around the timbales and serve at once.

ARUGULA AND MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk the mustard, vinegar, shallots, chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil to emulsify.
• Combine the arugula, endives and mushrooms in a salad bowl, and toss with the vinaigrette. Serve immediately.

TIMBALE OF GRAINS WITH WILD MUSHROOMS, ASPARAGUS AND A SAUCE OF GOAT'S FETA

Steps:

• Separately rinse the grains, then cook barley, wheat berries and rices, each in a separate pot, starting in clean, cold water with aromatic herbs in each. Just prior to each grain becoming tender, season with salt and pepper.
• When just fully cooked pour any excess water from each pot and spread grains out on a shallow baking pan and cool quickly.
• Season and steep couscous in an equal volume of cold water or even better a combination of orange juice and water. Allow to rehydrate then rub grains between your hands to fluff them.
• Heat butter in large saute pan (preferably nonstick), and saute vegetables and garlic until tender.
• Season, add thyme, nuts and all the prepared grains and saute them together.
• Adjust seasoning.
• Meanwhile reduce vegetable stock and wine by 2/3. Add cream and bring to boil, reduce slightly. Add cheese and melt to thicken. Season and add thyme.
• Season (you may not need any salt depending on the feta you are using, but freshly cracked pepper in the sauce is a must).
• Shape the hot grains in a timbale mold. Pour the sauce around. Accompany with a saute of asparagus spears (start with approximately 1 pound, trimmed and blanched) and mixed wild mushrooms (again, start with a scant pound, trimmed and cut into different shapes).
• Garnish with herb sprigs.
