Rosemary Skewers Of Shiitake Mushroom Broccoli And Garlic Cloves Recipes

CRISPY ROASTED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place mushroom caps on a baking sheet, gill-side up. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, turn mushrooms, and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• Transfer to oven and roast for 25 minutes. Turn mushrooms and continue to roast until larger mushrooms are crisp on the edges and smaller ones are crisp throughout, 10 to 15 minutes more. Season with more salt; serve warm or at room temperature.

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.).
