Quick Easy Pan Seared Wild Mushrooms Recipes

GARLIC MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sauté the onion until softened (about 3 minutes).
• Add the mushrooms and cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges.
• Pour in the wine and cook for 2 minutes, to reduce slightly.
• Stir through thyme, 1 tablespoon of parsley and garlic. Cook for a further 30 seconds, until fragrant.
• Season generously with salt and pepper (to your taste).
• Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve warm.

QUICK SAUTéED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Gently wipe the mushrooms.
• Trim and discard any tough stems. (Shiitake stems are great for stocks, but are too tough to eat. The very bottom of mushroom clusters like hen of the woods may have a slightly woody layer, so trim it away).
• Slice the mushrooms 1/8 of an inch to 1/4-inch thick.
• Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the shallots, cook 1 minute, and add the mushrooms.
• Cook, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms have released their juices and begin to brown.
• Stir in the garlic and white wine, increase the heat to high, and cook about 2 more minutes, until the wine has evaporated.
• Toss in the herbs; stir well and season to taste. Stir in the parsley and serve.

SEARED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wide, heavy nonstick skillet or a wok over high heat. Add mushrooms. Let sear without moving for about 30 seconds, then toss and stir in the pan until they begin to sweat, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat to medium, add another tablespoon oil and onion or shallots and cook, stirring, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic, thyme and rosemary or sage. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook over medium heat until mushrooms are soft, about 5 more minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring, until it is no longer visible in the pan. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat.
• Beat 1 of the eggs in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil, swirl pan, then add egg and swirl pan to coat evenly. Shake and tilt the pan and lift the edges of the egg pancake with a rubber spatula to allow egg to run underneath itself. When just about set flip over to briefly cook any runny egg on top, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining egg. Cut egg pancakes into strips.
• For bruschette, lightly toast bread and brush with olive oil. If desired, rub with a cut clove of garlic. Top with mushrooms. Sprinkle on Parmesan and egg strips, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve. For quinoa bowls, spoon quinoa into wide bowls and top with mushrooms. Sprinkle on Parmesan and egg strips. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS (QUICK AND SIMPLE)

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir mushrooms in the oil and butter until well coated. Sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, and steak seasoning on mushrooms; stir to coat. Cook and stir mushrooms until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS AND SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, cumin, and pepper. Saute until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add onion and garlic; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add scallops; cook and stir until opaque, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS

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.

SEARED BEEF WITH WILD MUSHROOMS & BALSAMIC

Steps:

• Rub the beef with 1 tbsp oil, rosemary and garlic, then leave in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or up to 24 hrs. Make sure the beef returns to room temperature before you cook it.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat a non-stick, ovenproof frying pan or roasting tin until very hot. Rub most of the garlic and rosemary from the beef, season with black pepper and flaky salt, then sear on all sides until dark brown and almost crusted - about 5 mins in total. Transfer the pan to the oven, then roast the beef for 10 mins for mediumrare. Leave to rest for a good 15 mins and keep any juices.
• While the meat rests, sauté the mushrooms. Heat 1 tbsp butter and the remaining oil in a large frying pan, then tip in the mushrooms with plenty of seasoning. Fry until golden and just softened, then tip into a bowl.
• Add the stock to the mushroom pan, then reduce by two-thirds. Tip in the mushrooms and balsamic, then add the remaining butter and let it melt. Tip in any meat juices, then season to taste and keep warm. Thickly slice the beef and spoon over the sauce. Serve with mash and spinach.

QUICK PAN-COOKED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Trim off the ends of the mushrooms and cut in thick slices. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot (you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above the pan), add the mushrooms and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, for a few minutes, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add the remaining oil, turn the heat to medium, and add the shallots, garlic, and herbs. Stir together, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook, stirring often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the shallots and garlic have softened and the mixture is fragrant. Add the wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has evaporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat and serve.
