Porcini Loaf With Summer Greens Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Soak mushrooms in wine until tender, about 15 minutes. Strain wine into a large bowl; finely chop mushrooms; add to the bowl.
• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in celery and leek. Cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Stir mixture into mushrooms. Cool.
• Stir in eggs, breadcrumbs, mustard, salt, thyme, pepper and oregano. Mix well. Add the meat; use clean hands to gently incorporate the seasonings into the meat. Gently pack the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, pressing down a bit to remove any air pockets.
• Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven to top with glaze.
• For the glaze: mix the chili sauce and mustard.
• Generously coat the loaf with the glaze; Return to oven and continue baking until the internal temperature registers 150 degrees on an instant read thermometer, about 20 minutes more.
• Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and brown gravy. I made a packet of Knoors Brown gravy mix.

Steps:

• Soak the mushrooms in ½ cup hot water until softened, about 20 minutes. Strain the mushrooms, finely chop, and set aside. Strain the reserved mushroom liquid into a small bowl, stir in the oatmeal, and allow to sit at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F; coat a 9-x-5-x-3 inch nonstick loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a small skillet, heat the oil and sauté the onion over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the onion is lightly golden, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to just combine the flavors, for 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the onions to a large bowl, and allow to cool slightly.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the onions, including the chopped mushrooms and oatmeal, mixing with your hands until well combined and place in the prepared loaf pan. Spread the tomato paste to cover the loaf.
• Bake for 1 hour. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and to make it easier to slice the loaf. Slice and serve the loaf garnished with basil leaves.
