Roasted Mushrooms And Shaved Celery W Creamy Lemon Vinaigrette Recipes

PERFECT ROASTED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Serve topped with fresh herbs.

MUSHROOM-AND-CELERY SALAD WITH PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Lay mushrooms on sheets of paper towels; cover with clean, damp kitchen towels. Thinly slice celery, and transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic. Refrigerate.

Toss mushrooms and celery with dressing; let stand 10 minutes. Divide lettuce among places, and top with mushroom mixture. Shave cheese with a vegetable peeler over tops.

VINEGAR CHICKEN WITH CRISP ROASTED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add chicken skin-side down and cook until skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pot, 8 to 10 minutes. Using tongs, turn chicken to brown on the other side, another 4 to 8 minutes, depending on what cut you're using. As the chicken browns, transfer it to a large plate.
• Add onions to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook, without moving them so they have a chance to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar and 1 cup water, then use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and return chicken to the pot, skin-side up, nestling all the pieces in there. (They don't need to be totally submerged.) Scatter thyme around and place the lid on top. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook at a gentle simmer until chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, if serving the mushrooms, heat the oven to 450 degrees. Toss mushrooms with olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing once or twice, until the mushrooms are deeply browned and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside, 15 to 20 minutes depending on the type of mushroom and strength of your oven.
• If serving the salad, toss Little Gems with lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and arrange on a large platter. Sprinkle with sumac and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
• Remove chicken from heat and season the cooking liquid with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer chicken, onions and thyme to a large serving platter, spooning cooking liquid over the top, or alternatively, serve directly from the pot, with the mushrooms and salad alongside you like. Add toast and something creamy if you choose.

MESCLUN WITH CREAMY LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the baby greens in a salad bowl. In a mini food processor, pulse together the shallot, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, zest and cayenne. Add the olive oil and pulse again to combine. Add the sour cream and blend for 30 seconds until creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the greens and toss to coat and serve.
