Mushroom Veloute With White Truffle Sabayon Recipes

PAN PERDU WITH WHITE TRUFFLE

Steps:

• For the brioche: In a standing mixer bowl with hook attachment, add the yeast. Add the flour on top, then add 5 tablespoons sugar and salt. Slightly beat 4 eggs and add to the bowl and mix until dough comes together and becomes elastic. Add the butter and mix until the dough slaps the sides of the bowl. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Roll into a single loaf and place in a loaf pan. Proof until double in size, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the loaf until golden brown and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• For the French toast batter: In a medium saucepan, add the milk, half-and-half, and 1/2 cup of sugar, cook on medium-low heat. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of sugar. When the milk mixture simmers, whisk a little milk mixture into the eggs to temper it. Whisking constantly, pour the remaining milk mixture into the eggs. Transfer the bowl of batter to an ice bath to cool.
• In a large skillet, heat some butter and a little honey on medium heat. Slice the brioche into serving slices. Dip the brioche in the batter and fry in butter and honey to a golden brown on both sides.
• For the port poached figs: In a medium saucepan, combine the port, sangeria, vanilla beans and seeds together, bring to a simmer on medium-low heat. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon sugar with the pectin and add to the boiling liquid. Cook for 5 minutes to activate the pectin and thicken the juice. Place the figs in a large bowl and pour the port mixture over the figs and let macerate for at least 24 hours, refrigerated.
• To serve, spoon 2 figs onto each dish and drizzle the fig sauce. Place slices of cooked briohe on the side and garnish top with truffle shavings.

ROBIOLA WHITE TRUFFLE PIZZA

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir together yeast, oil, sugar, and about 3 tablespoons water until smooth. Stir in remaining water. In large bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with dough hook whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, and salt. With mixer on low speed stir in yeast mixture and blend until mixture forms dough. With mixer on medium speed knead dough, adding enough of remaining 1 cup flour as necessary to prevent dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Put dough in an oiled deep bowl and turn to coat with oil. Let dough rise, loosely covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk, and punch down. Divide dough into 6 balls. On a lightly floured surface roll out each ball of dough into a 9 1/2-inch round and stack, lightly floured, between sheets of parchment paper. Dough may be made 8 hours ahead and chilled, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. Preheat oven to 550 degrees F. Spread 1 cup robiola on each round of dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edge. Place another piece of thin, rolled out dough on top. Dock pizza all over so cheese can ooze through. Sprinkle 1-tablespoon semolina on each of 2 baking sheets and transfer 1 pizza to each. Bake in batches in lower third of oven 10 minutes, or until crust is crisp and golden. Transfer pizzas to plates and drizzle each with 1-tablespoon truffle oil and shaved truffles. Top and bake remaining pizzas in the same manner.

MUSHROOM VELOUTE WITH WHITE TRUFFLE SABAYON

Steps:

• To prepare the veloute, combine the butter, shallots, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme in a large saucepan. Sweat the shallots until translucent. Add the whole mushrooms, reduce to low heat, and cook, stirring for 3 minutes. Add the water, bring to a boil, and cook until mushrooms are tender. Pour the mixture into a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Pour the veloute back into the saucepan, add the cream, and season with salt and pepper.
• To make the sabayon, use a stainless steel bowl over a double boiler. Combine the egg yolks and water and beat for about 10 minutes, until eggs reach a stable foamy consistency. Remove the bowl from the double boiler, stir in the truffle oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, divide the veloute among the bowls. Pour a few tablespoons of the sabayon in the center of each bowl, forming a circle. Finish with a slice of white truffle for each bowl.

MUSHROOM VELOUTE (MUSHROOM SOUP)

Steps:

• Prepare a veloute base by cooking the onion in a 4 quart pot over medium heat. Stir almost continuously to prevent browning.
• When the onion turns translucent (after about 10 minutes), add the flour.
• Stir over medium heat for 5 minutes more to cook out the starchy taste.
• Add the Madiera (or sherry) and broth.

• Put the mushrooms in a blender and add 1 cup of the hot soup base.
• Blend the mushrooms on high speed for about 2 minutes. (Add a little more of the soup base, if necessary, to get them moving.).
• Put a strainer over the pot and pour the contents of the blender through it, into the the pot with the rest of the base.
• Add the cream. (If you want the soup perfectly smooth, strain it through a medium or fine mesh strainer.).
• Bring the soup back to a simmer and season it with salt and pepper.
• Ladle it into hot bowls and put a dollop of whipped cream on each serving.
