Wild Mushroom And Artichoke Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Artichoke Purée: Lightly toast pine nuts in a dry saute pan over medium-low heat until golden. If using jarred baby artichoke hearts, strain and rinse well. Using a food processor, pulse all ingredients except parsley and thyme to a coarse puree, stirring as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and fold in fresh herbs. Set aside.
• Sautéed Wild Mushrooms: Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the minced shallot, tossing until translucent, slightly golden, and beginning to stick. Add the mushrooms, and a splash of the vegetable stock to deglaze. Add another splash of vegetable stock when the first stock addition reduces and the mushrooms begin to stick, being careful not to let it burn. Stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the mushrooms have released their liquid and the pan is almost dry, about 4 minutes.Meanwhile, slice the baguette on the bias into slices. Lightly grease a hot griddle pan and grill lightly on both sides.
• To assemble, lay out crostini and on each place about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the artichoke puree. Top with sauteed mushrooms and finish with fresh horseradish root, shaved fine using a microplane zester, and drizzle with truffle oil if desired.

Steps:

• In a nonreactive bowl, combine first 12 ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, to allow flavors to blend, 3-4 hours. Serve with additional parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushroons; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Combine mushrooms and remaining ingredients except cooking spray in a large bowl stifling until well blended.
• Spoon mixture into a 2-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, heat white wine on HIGH for 4 minutes. Place dried mushrooms in wine and let sit for 10 minutes to rehydrate. Transfer mushrooms with 2/3 of a cup of the liquid to a food processor. Puree to a coarse consistency.
• In a medium pot combine remaining ingredients and pureed mushrooms. Mix thoroughly and cook over medium-low heat, for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to bowl and serve hot with crusty bread or crostini.
• *Pre-packaged dried wild mushrooms are found in the produce department of your local grocery store.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat half the oil in a medium frying pan, then gently fry the onions for 12-15 mins until softened and lightly browned. Tip the onions into a bowl and mix with the artichoke hearts, season if you like and set aside. Heat the remaining oil in the same pan (there's no need to clean it) over a high-ish heat. Add the mushrooms, then stir-fry for 2-3 mins until soft, throw in the garlic and thyme and continue to cook for a minute. Remove from the heat, season well and allow to cool.
• On a floured surface, roll out the pastry into a rough circle about 40cm in diameter and drape over a large baking sheet.
• Pile the onions and artichokes into the middle of the pastry and spread them out evenly, leaving a 10cm border around the edge, then pile the mushrooms on top.
• Bring the edges of the pastry up over the filling. Brush the exposed pastry edge with the egg glaze. Bake for 20-25 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with the sour cream and relish.
