Sesame Roasted Mushrooms And Scallions Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Trim the roots off the scallions. Separate the dark green tops from the bottoms.
• In a 5- or 6-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil and 1.5 teaspoons sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallion bottoms, daikon, mushrooms and garlic cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 7 minutes. Add the ginger and cook 1 minute more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer vegetables to a platter.
• Pat chicken dry; season inside and out with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil and 1.5 teaspoons sesame oil to the Dutch oven. Brown chicken, turning, until the skin is well browned. Turn chicken breast-side up. Scatter the vegetables around the chicken. In a small bowl, whisk together the stock, sherry and soy sauce. Pour over the chicken. Drop in the star anise pods. Tightly cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Remove to a cutting board. Skim fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Chop the scallion tops and stir in, with the vinegar. Carve chicken and serve, topped with vegetables and pot juices.

Steps:

• In a skillet large enough to hold the mushroom mixture without crowding, melt butter with 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, and season with 1 teaspoon salt; toss to combine. Cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are almost tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add scallions. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms and scallions are tender, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in vinegar and remaining 1/2 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper.
