Porcini Filled Panzerotti In Porcini Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• First make the filling: Drain the dried mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid, and mince. In a skillet cook the shallots in the oil over moderate heat, stirring until they are softened. Add the fresh mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mixture, stirring, until it is dry. Add the dried mushrooms and the garlic, cook the mixture, stirring, until it is dry, and transfer it to a bowl. Add the mozzarella, the Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste to the mushroom mixture and stir the filling until it is well combined. Make the ravioli: Trim the ends of the dough and cut the dough crosswise into 2 pieces, 1 piece 1 1/2 inches longer than the other. Put a rounded teaspoon of the mushroom mixture in 2 rows on the shorter piece, spacing them about 1 inch from the edges and with their centers about 1 1/2 inches apart. Brush the dough around the filling with water, put the longer piece of dough on top, and press it gently around the mounds of filling. With a fluted pastry wheel or knife cut the dough between the mounds. Arrange the ravioli in one layer on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour and let dry one hour.
• When ready to cook the ravioli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until it is just tender, drain it in a colander and transfer it to a large bowl. Then in a small saucepan melt the butter and add the butter to the ravioli, tossing to coat it well. Transfer to serving dish. In another saucepan combine the heavy cream, 1/2 cup of the reserved mushroom soaking liquid, strained through a double thickness of rinsed and squeezed cheesecloth, and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is slightly thickened. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Top the ravioli evenly with the sauce and sprinkle with the parsley and the Parmesan before serving.

Steps:

• Saute shallots in olive oil and butter. Add chopped mushrooms. Saute until the onions begin to brown. Add warm stock a little at time. Adding more when it's almost gone. Then do the same with the porcini water. Keep adding until the mixture is rich and flavorful. Add milk and cook slowly to reduce. Add a few sprigs fresh rosemary and keep sauce warm until your pasta is cooked. When the pasta is almost finished spoon it into the sauce and let it finish cooking. Remove rosemary before serving. Spoon into bowls and top with grated parmigiano. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.

Steps:

• Combine the dried porcini mushrooms and chicken stock in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat off and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Pull the mushrooms out of the liquid, reserving the stock, letting any grit from the mushrooms settle to the bottom of the saucepan. Slice the mushrooms into strips and set aside.
• Thoroughly pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 3 minutes. Drizzle a light coating of oil over each side of steak. Sprinkle the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Insert an instant read digital thermometer into the side of one of the steaks, set it to sound its alarm at 100 degrees F. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil into the pan, this helps create a great crust on the steaks.
• Place the steaks in the pan, leaving room in between each steak. Cook the steaks without moving for 3 minutes. Using tongs, flip the steaks and cook until the thermometer goes off, about another 4 minutes for rare, 5 minutes for medium-rare and 6 minutes for medium. Remove the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes while making the pan sauce.
• After removing the steaks from the skillet, add the porcini mushrooms, garlic and shallots. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the Marsala wine and the reserved mushroom liquid, being careful to let any grit stay in the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce by half. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter until it is melted and sauce has thickened. Add the thyme and season with salt and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender or until a knife inserts into center of a potato chunk with no resistance, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Once the vegetables are tender, strain them out of the pan using a spider or a slotted spoon. Transfer them into a food processor, add the butter and start the pureeing process. Add just enough of the cooking liquid until the puree becomes smooth and creamy. Season with more salt and pepper.
