Rosemary Skewered Mushrooms Recipes

SAUTEED ROSEMARY MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat in a medium skillet olive oil and butter on medium heat.
• Add sliced mushrooms, shallots and rosemary (keep rosemary on the twig for easy removal later).
• Sprinkle mushrooms with seasonings and brown for approx 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add wine and continue cooking on med-low heat until moisture is absorbed (about 10-15 minutes), stirring ocasionally.
• Remove rosemary twigs and serve as a side dish.
• Tips: If serving in a bowl, dress bowl with Italian or regular parsley for a more pleasing look. If serving with dinner a red wine use a Marsala cooking wine instead of white/Sherry.

ROSEMARY SKEWERS OF SHIITAKE MUSHROOM, BROCCOLI AND GARLIC CLOVES

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
• Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain and cool.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the garlic cloves until they are golden and soft. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• To make the skewers: Remove the leaves from the bottom 2/3 of the rosemary sprigs and reserve them for future use. Skewer a mushroom, broccoli floret and a roasted garlic clove onto each rosemary sprig. Put the completed skewers on a baking sheet, brush them with the marinade, and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the rosemary skewers over medium-high heat for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Serve with a small wedge of Cambozola cheese.

ROSEMARY SKEWERS

Steps:

• PREPARATION:.
• Strip the rosemary leaves from the stems, except for about one inch at the top.
• Roughly chop a couple tablespoons of the leaves and set aside. Store the remaining leaves in the freezer for another use.
• Poke a toothpick through the sides of the olives (for easier assembly); depending on how strong / thick your rosemary skewers are, you may need to do the same for the artichoke hearts and/or mozzarella balls.
• Cut each mozzarella ball in half.
• Cut each piece of salami in half.
• ASSEMBLY:.
• Thread the rosemary in the following order: olive, half mozzarella ball, half salami folded in half, artichoke heart, half salami folded in half, half mozzarella ball, olive.
• Sprinkle with the chopped rosemary.
• Cover and let sit overnight (or at least several hours).
• Just before serving, drizzle a bit of vinaigrette over top. (If you pour it on too soon, the mozzarella will absorb the color of the vinegar and won't be pretty.).
