Mushroom Arancini With Taleggio Served With Asparagus And Lemon Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the risotto: In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium. Add onion, garlic and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice until coated, about 1 minute, then add wine. Cook, stirring frequently, until absorbed, about 1 minute.
• Stir in 1/2 cup stock. Cook, stirring frequently, until stock is almost absorbed, about 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining stock, adding 1/2 cup at a time and stirring until absorbed before adding the next cup, about 15 minutes.
• Once all the stock has been absorbed - the rice should be tender but still slightly toothsome and the risotto creamy - stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread out in an even layer and let cool, at least 20 minutes. Cover tightly in plastic wrap (or transfer to a lidded container) and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour or up to 2 or 3 days.
• Once the risotto is chilled, slice it into about 24 even portions. Working with one at a time, gently roll each into a ball, then press between your palms to flatten slightly. Press one cube of mozzarella into the center and shape the risotto up and over it, sealing the cheese in the center. Roll the ball in your palms until round. Repeat with remaining risotto balls. (If you're not planning to fry them right away, arrange them on a small baking sheet in a single layer, cover and refrigerate until cooking, up to 2 or 3 days in advance. If the risotto mixture isn't cold, it can fall apart in the hot oil.)
• In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium. (If you have a candy thermometer, now is a good time to use it: Heat the oil to about 350 degrees.)
• Prepare the breading: Add the flour to a shallow bowl, then add the eggs to another shallow bowl and beat the eggs to combine. In a third bowl, combine the panko and Italian seasoning, if using, with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine.
• Working with one arancini, roll it first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the egg, then in the panko, taking care to coat it on all sides with each roll. Transfer to a clean baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining arancini.
• Fry the arancini in batches, leaving at least one inch between each ball, until golden and crisp on the outside, about 5 minutes. (By the time the crust crisps, the cheese filling will melt.) Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining arancini. (If the crust is cooking to quickly, you can turn off the heat momentarily and continue to cook in the oil, which will maintain residual heat. Turn the stove back on if needed.)
• Spoon warmed tomato sauce onto small plates or into bowls and top with warm arancini, or set sauce in a bowl for dipping and arrange arancini on a serving platter. Sprinkle arancini with finely grated Parmesan and more parsley, if desired.

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer pasta to large wide bowl.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté 1 minute. Add shiitake mushrooms; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté shiitake mixture until soft, about 6 minutes. Add lemon juice; cook 1 minute. Add broth and lemon peel. Bring to boil, then reduce to medium and simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Add asparagus to mushroom mixture; simmer until asparagus turns bright green, about 2 minutes. Add chives and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir until butter melts. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Pour sauce over pasta; toss to coat. Top with shaved Asiago and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly spray a cookie sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
• Place the asparagus and mushrooms in a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, then season with rosemary, salt, and pepper; toss well. Lay the asparagus and mushrooms out on the prepared pan in an even layer. Roast in the preheated oven until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut the asparagus into 7.5cm/3in lengths. Very finely chop the garlic. Slice the mushrooms. Finely grate the cheese.
• Cook pasta according to instructions on the pack.
• Meanwhile cook the asparagus stems in boiling water for 2mins. Add the asparagus tips and cook for a further minute. Drain.
• Heat the oil and cook the garlic and mushrooms for one minute, stirring.
• Add vegetable stock, black pepper and thyme. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add asparagus and heat gently. Fold in the cooked, drained pasta and most of the cheese.
• Serve immediately with the remaining cheese sprinkled on top.

Steps:

• For dressing, whisk together first 5 ingredients. Toss mushrooms with 2 tablespoons dressing., Grill mushrooms, covered, over medium-high heat until tender, 5-7 minutes per side. Toss with remaining dressing before serving.

Steps:

• Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic to a pan and cook for 2 minutes until soft
• Add the risotto rice and cook for a further 2 minutes before adding the white wine
• When the wine has absorbed, add some of the stock, stir and when the rice has absorbed the liquid, add more stock- Continue this process until all the stock has been absorbed
• Set the risotto to one side to allow it to cool
• Meanwhile, heat a pan of oil (for deep frying)
• Lightly fry the Buna Shimeji for 1 minute then set aside
• Roll the risotto into a ball the size of a golf ball, then gently push some Buna Shimeji into the centre of the ball along with a Mozzarella pearl, then roll the ball in your hands until smooth
• Coat the ball in the flour, then the egg and finally breadcrumbs
• Follow this process with the remaining risotto until you have made 16 balls
• Deep fry the Arancini for 5 minutes until golden brown and the breadcrumbs are crispy, then allow them to drain before serving
