Wild Mushroom And Wild Leek Farfel Kugel Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion, leek, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in thyme, and transfer to a plate.
• Return pan to stove, raise heat to medium-high, and melt 2 tablespoons butter. Saute half the mushrooms with 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to plate with onion and leeks. Saute remaining mushrooms in same manner, and transfer to plate.
• Return pan to stove over medium-high heat. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half. Add broth, and bring to a simmer.
• Place bread in a large bowl. Pour broth mixture over bread, and toss until evenly absorbed. Gently stir in mushrooms, onion and leeks, nuts, and eggs; season with pepper. Stuffing can be made up to this point (do not add eggs) 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Let come to room temperature before stirring in eggs and baking.
• Transfer dressing to baking dish. Cover, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover dish, dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and bake until top is golden brown and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, carrots, onions, celery, and bell pepper; saute until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in spinach.
• Place farfel in a strainer and pour about 4 cups boiling water over it to moisten. Add farfel to the vegetables along with pine nuts, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Place dried chanterelles in small bowl. Pour enough hot water over to cover chanterelles; let stand until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain. Finely chop.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add leek and shallot; sauté 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter, then portobellos and chanterelles; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add wine; simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons goat cheese; stir until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 2 tablespoons parsley. Remove from heat.
• Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puff pastry sheet on floured surface to 12x12-inch square. Using 4-inch-diameter biscuit cutter or bowl as guide, cut out 4 pastry rounds. Using small cookie cutters, such as those with leaf shape, cut out decorative designs from remaining pastry, if desired. Place rounds on baking sheet, spacing apart. Spread 1 tablespoon goat cheese atop each. Spread mushroom mixture evenly atop each to within 1/2 inch of edge, dividing equally. Turn pastry edges upward slightly to hold topping in place. Place decorative pastry cutouts on baking sheet around galettes.
• Bake until pastry is puffed and golden, about 15 minutes for decorative cutouts and 30 minutes for galettes.
• Sprinkle galettes with 1 tablespoon parsley. Top with cutouts, if desired.

Steps:

• Soak the mushrooms in two cups of hot water for one hour, until soft; strain through a sieve lined with paper towel or a coffee filter.
• Reserve the soaking liquid.
• Rinse the mushrooms, pat them dry and chop them coarsely.
• Heat the 4 tablespoons of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onions and saute, stirring, until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer the onions to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• In the same skillet, place the mushrooms, garlic and mushroom liquid.
• Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Generously oil the bottom and sides of a heavy baking dish (a 13" x 9" lasagna pan for example) (an enamelled, cast iron pan works best).
• Grate the potatoes, transfer to a colander, rinse well, drain, and then squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands.
• Combine potatoes in a large bowl with the onions, eggs, and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper.
• Place the baking pan (empty) in the oven for a moment or two until the oil is just sizzling.
• Remove the pan from the oven and layer half the potato mixture in the pan.
• Spread the mushrooms over the potatoes, then add the remaining potato mixture, smoothing the top.
• Drizzle a little olive oil on the top and bake the kugel about 50 minutes, until the top is golden and crisp.
• Remove from the oven and let stand, until it reaches room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
• Reheat 15 minutes at 350°F before serving.
