Wild Mushroom And Arugula Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a straight-sided medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil; heat for another minute. Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts; cook 1 minute more. Turn off the heat, add the arugula and another 1/4 teaspoon salt, and toss gently with the mushroom mixture to wilt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush both sides of each baguette slice lightly with olive oil. Bake for 4 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the Gruyere evenly over the bread. Turn the oven to broil. Place the crostini back in the oven under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, white wine and tamari. Cook until the mushrooms are soft and the liquid has evaporated. Finish with a small pinch of sea salt.
• Spoon the mushrooms out of the pan directly onto the crostini. Garnish with the chopped chives and flat-leaf parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange baguette slices on rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven until golden, about 9 minutes. Cool. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 1 minute. Add all mushrooms; sauté until beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic; sauté 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in cream, rosemary, and lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper. Cool. Mix in both cheeses. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat broiler. Top each toast with about 1 tablespoon mushroom topping. Place on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Working in batches, broil until cheese is melted and begins to brown, watching closely to prevent burning, about 3 minutes. Transfer to serving platter. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine dried porcini and 1 1/2 cups hot water. Let sit until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from soaking liquid. Carefully pour off liquid, leaving sediment in bowl; reserve liquid. Coarsely chop porcini.
• Chop together garlic, parsley, and salt.
• Make crostini by grilling or toasting bread under broiler. Brush lightly with extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium-low heat. Add porcini, shallots, and thyme, and cook, stirring often, until shallots wilt, about 10 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper. Add wine, and cook over medium-high heat until liquid is almost completely reduced, 5 to 7 minutes. Add reserved porcini liquid, and cook until almost completely reduced again, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a small bowl, and set aside.
• Rinse skillet, dry, and return to high heat. Starting with the firmest, cook wild mushrooms in two batches using a tablespoon of butter and oil for each batch. Season well with salt and pepper, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are nearly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Keep in a large bowl while second batch cooks.
• Return all the mushrooms to the pan. Add porcini and parsley mixtures. Cook over medium-high heat until garlic gives off an aroma, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust seasonings, and remove pan from heat.
• Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and serve with crostini, or spoon a bit of the mushroom mixture on each slice of crostini and arrange on a plate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously spray large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place 1 egg roll wrapper on work surface. Using 2- to 2 1/4-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut out 6 rounds from wrapper. Transfer rounds to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 egg roll wrappers, making 24 rounds total. Spray rounds with nonstick spray. Bake rounds until golden brown, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Cool.
• Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Generously spray 2 more baking sheets with nonstick spray. Combine purchased dressing, shallots, mustard, 2 teaspoons water and crushed red pepper in large bowl; stir to blend. Transfer 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing to small bowl and reserve. Place 14 ounces fresh wild mushrooms in large bowl with remaining dressing; toss to coat. Let stand 25 minutes.
• Arrange half of mushroom mixture in single layer on each prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until mushrooms are golden brown, turning mushrooms over halfway through baking, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly. Coarsely chop cooked mushrooms. Return cooked mushrooms to large bowl. Add enoki mushrooms, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and reserved 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing. Toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Store egg roll rounds airtight at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate mushroom mixture. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• Arrange egg roll rounds on platter. Spoon mushroom mixture onto egg roll rounds and serve.
