Caramelized Onion And Shrimp Bruschetta Recipes

CREAMED-MUSHROOM BRUSCHETTA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the onions and salt. Do not stir immediately. Wait 1 minute, then begin to stir frequently over high heat for 5 minutes, or until the onions have released liquid and started to become translucent.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add Marsala. Cook, stirring often, for what will seem like an eternity, until the onions are fully melted and dark brown, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed pan with high sides over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, add butter. When butter foams, add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium low and, using a wooden spoon, create a well in the middle of the mushrooms. Add thyme, salt, black pepper and shallots; sweat until shallots have cooked through and become translucent, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
• Return heat to high and add sherry vinegar to deglaze pan, then add cream and bring to a low boil.
• Check for seasoning. Mushrooms can be reserved until needed, then reheated over a medium flame. Add a splash of extra cream to loosen, if needed.
• Grill or toast bread to a light char.
• Spread 2 tablespoons caramelized onions over each piece of toast, followed by approximately 1/4 cup of creamed mushrooms.
• Garnish with minced chives.

SHRIMP & CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat until hot. Add purple onion and saute 10 minutes. Add sherry and next 5 ingredients. Cook for 3 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and stir in green onions, then set aside. Place shrimp on a rack coated with cooking spray; place rack in a shallow roasting pan. Broil 5-6 minutes from heat for 2 minutes on each side or until done. Serve with onion mixture.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Sprinkle with sugar and continue cooking, stirring as necessary, until soft and dark brown, but not at all crispy, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat if onions are crisping.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Cook chanterelle mushrooms until soft and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Arrange baguette rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
