Wild Mushroom And Veal Terrine With Roasted Yellow Pepper Coulis Recipes

Steps:

• Brush the caps of each mushroom with a clean sponge. Remove and discard the stems. Slice the small mushrooms thickly and cut the large ones in a large dice.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (11 - inch) Dutch oven or saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the butter, mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until they are tender and begin to release their juices, stirring often. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Toss in the parsley, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Make the terrine:
• In a small bowl combine the bread, 1/4 cup of the cream, and the egg white. In a large skillet cook the garlic and the onion in 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the white mushrooms, and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened and begin to give off their liquid. Add 2 tablespoons of the Cognac and cook the mixture, stirring, until all the liquid has evaporated. Let the mixture cool, transfer it to a food processor, and purée it with the bread mixture. Add the veal, the remaining 1/4 cup cream, and salt and pepper to taste and blend the mixture, scraping down the sides, until it is smooth. Transfer the veal mixture to a bowl and keep it covered and chilled while cooking with wild mushrooms. In the skillet, cleaned, cook the shallots with salt and pepper to taste in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are softened, add the wild mushrooms, and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the broth, the wine, and the remaining 2 tablespoons Cognac and boil the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated. let the mixture cool, stir in into the veal mixture, and spoon the mixture into a well-buttered 1-quart terrine, smoothing the top. Cover the terrine with a buttered sheet of foil and the lid, put the terrine in a baking pan, and add enough hot water to the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the terrine. Bake the terrine in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 1 hour to 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 165°F. Let the terrine cool and pour off any excess liquid. Invert the terrine onto a plate and chill it, covered, overnight.
• Make the coulis:
• In a blender blend together the roasted peppers, the oil, the vinegars, and salt and black pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth.
• Cut the terrine into 1/2-inch-thick slices and pour about 1/4 cup of the coulis onto each of 8 serving plates. Put a slice of terrine over the coulis and sprinkle each serving with some of the diced bell peppers and the chives.
• To roast peppers:
• Using a long-handled fork char peppers over an open flame, turning them, until skins are blackened, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, broil peppers on rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from heat, turning them every 5 minutes, until skins are blistered and charred, 15 to 25 minutes.) Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle. Keeping peppers whole, peel them, starting at blossom end. Cut off tops and discard seeds and ribs. (Wear rubber gloves when handling chilies.)

Steps:

• Cut the mushrooms and the pickled onions into thn slices, remove stems from spinach.
• blanch spinach and squeeze all excess waater out of it.
• Sauté the mushrooms in a pan with grape seed oil, crushed garlic, springs og rosmary and thyme.
• allow liquid to drip off the onion slices.
• Moisten terrine mold and line with plastic wrap.
• Arrange mushroom slices and onion, along with pieces of spinach in alternative layers, sprinkling each layer with salt and pepper.
• dissolve gelatine into two cups of hot mushroo, stock.
• pour the liquid into the mold, covering the layers completely.
• Fold plastic wrap over the aspic and put it under pressure.
• Place aside in a cool place to firm up.
• For serving, remove the aspic from the mold but keep in plastic wrap as it is easier to cut that way. The slices should be about quater of an inch in thickness. Remove plastic wrap before serving on top of a bed of baby leek salad tossed with sherry vinaigrette and seasoned with Fleur de sel.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge veal in flour, shaking off excess. Add veal to skillet and cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer veal to plate using slotted spoon. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, oregano, allspice and crushed red pepper to skillet. Sauté until mushrooms are just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in Marsala and garlic and boil until skillet is almost dry, about 4 minutes. Add veal and any juices accumulated on plate to skillet. Mix in chicken broth and bring to boil. Cover and bake in oven until veal is very tender, about 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Transfer stew to stove and boil until liquid thickens to sauce to consistency, about 12 minutes. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Rinse 1 red or yellow bell pepper (about 10 oz.); pat dry.
• Set pepper in a 9-inch pie or cake pan and broil 3 to 4 inches from heat, turning as needed, until charred on all sides, about 15 minutes total.
• Let cool.
• With a small, sharp knife, remove and discard skin, stem, and seeds. Coarsely chop pepper and place in a blender or food processor.
• Add 1 tablespoon water and 1 teaspoon olive oil; whirl until smooth.
• Add salt and cayenne to taste.
• If coulis is thicker than desired, thin with 1 to 2 more tablespoons water.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 13 glass baking dish.
• Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Thinly slice the mushrooms.
• Cover the bottom of the baking dish with 1/2" of potatoes. Place all the mushrooms on the top and cover with another 1/2" of potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the vegetable stock over all to a depth of 1/2".
• Oil one side of a sheet of aluminum foil and lightly cover the potatoes, oiled side down. Bake for 1 hour, then remove the foil. Bake another 30 - 45 minutes, or until a knife goes through the center easidly. Remove from the oven. Place a heavy object on top of the terrine to compress it while cooling, for about 1 hour.
• To serve: Cut the terrine into squares, place on a greased cookie sheet and reheat at 350 for 10 - 15 minutes.
