Mushroom recipe for today : Mushroom Omelet with Cheddar and Thyme. Made this delicious omelet for our afternoon lunch, and it was yummy!


Mushroom For Today : Fresh Shiitake Mushroom

Fresh mushrooms contains lots of water, so these are sliced and sauteed till the juices oozes out and evaporates. The recipe uses white or cremini mushrooms, but any fresh mushrooms would work well in this omelet, here I have used fresh Shiitake mushrooms. When the mushrooms are lightly browned, season with some salt and pepper along with some fresh thymes, keep aside while you prepare the eggs.


Eggs are beaten lightly with a little cream, salt and pepper. Heat up some oil, pour egg mixture in heated pan, cook over low heat until just begin to set. When eggs are almost completely set, sprinkle some grated cheese over one half of the egg, and scatter some of the cooked mushroom over the cheese. Fold the unfilled half over the mushroom and cheese, cook for a further 30 seconds and slide onto a serving plate.


Sprinkle more chopped thymes over and serve immediately. Yum!
This is perfect for a lazy weekend brunch.

Mushroom Omelet with Cheddar and Thymes
(adapted from "Williams-Sonoma : Breakfast Comforts", Rick Rodgers)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 lb (125gm) white or cremini mushrooms, sliced (I use shiitake)
3/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup (60gm) shredded fontina cheese (I use cheddar)
  1. In a frying pan, preferably nonstick, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the juices evaporate and the mushrooms begin to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200F (95C). In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper just until blended. Do not overbeat.
  3. Add half of the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the frying pan and melt over medium heat until hot. Tilt the pan to cover the bottom evenly with butter.
  4. Add half of the eggs mixture to the pan and cook until the eggs have barely begun to set around the edges, about 30 seconds. Using a heatproof spatula, lift the cooked edges and gently push them toward the center, tilting the pan to allow the liquid egg on top to flow underneath, then cook for 30 seconds. Repeat this process two more times. When the eggs are almost completely set but still slightly moist on top, sprinkle half of the cheese over half of the omelet. Scatter half of the mushrooms over the cheese.
  5. Using the spatula, fold the untopped half of the omelet over the filled half to create a half-moon shape. Let the omelet cook for 30 seconds more, then slide it onto a heatproof serving plate. Keep warm in the oven. Repeat to make a second omelet in the same manner. Sprinkle both omelets with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon thyme, dividing it evenly. Serve at once.

Mushroom Curry for Little Thumbs Up and I Heart Cooking Clubs

********************

I'm linking today's post to two events, one is Little Thumbs Up, where the selected ingredient for this month is Mushrooms, and I Heart Cooking Clubs (IHCC), for our Potluck week where we can select to cook from any of our previous featured chefs' recipes. So, I have chosen to cook Madhur Jaffrey's Mushroom Curry, something that I've wanted to try, and seems the perfect selection for both Little Thumbs Up and IHCC.


Mushroom for Today : Brown Button Mushroom

Brown Button Mushroom, also known as Cremini Mushrooms. They have a similar appearance to the White Button but have a light-tan to rich-brown cap and a firmer texture. Personally, I find that they taste almost the same!



For this mushroom dish, I'm using Brown Button Mushrooms. Bought two packs last week, used some of it for the Mushroom Chocolate Cookies, my previous post, and use up the balance for this curry dish.


This is another lovely dish from Madhur Jaffrey. Suitable for vegetarians and can be eaten with either rice or bread. Surprisingly, the only spices used are ground coriander and chilli powder. This dish uses a small amount of yoghurt and tomato puree. The mushrooms are cut to big chunks, so that they do not get lost in the sauce during cooking, they are first stir-fried in a little oil to get rid of the raw look and later are added in to braise together with the sauteed spices.


We ate this with some roti paratha, I use Kawan brand frozen paratha, one of my favourites. Since I'm serving this to my kids as well, I have used the amount of chili powder as per the recipe, about 1/4 tsp, which makes out quite a mild curry. For spicier taste, you might want to increase on the amount of chili powder.  This is really a simple curry, so do not expect one that is bursting with very bold curry flavours, but it is kinda nice, especially when eaten with paratha.


This post is linked to I Heart Cooking Clubs (IHCC) for this week's "Potluck", with recipes from any of the seven previous featured chefs

White Button Mushrooms

White button mushrooms are very popular in the United States, it represent about 90% of mushrooms consumed in the U.S.  These mushrooms have a very mild taste and the flavours intensifies when cooked. They can be sauteed and cooked in any way, and even eaten raw in salads. A serving of 4 to 5 white button provides 18 calories, 0 gram of fats and 3 gram of carbohydrates. It is a good source of antioxidant selenium, the B vitamin riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid, copper, 300gm of potassium per serving. 

While those info above are very informative, and I would probably could not remember all that in the next minute, what I do know is these mushrooms are so delicious, sauteed and use as a quiche filling!  Yum!


Mushroom and Shallots Quiche, so good!


Quiche is one of my most favourite savoury pastry. Especially if it has bacon or ham in it! Both bacon or ham, makes everything tastes so much yummier! This recipe does not call for either ham or bacon, but I have added in some ham chips, just because!
And I have used more shallots than the recipes calls for.


The pastry is a little difficult to work with, it is very soft, refrigerate it until firm and work quickly, very quickly! But then it is worth the effort! I made a full batch of the pastry and kept half of it in the freezer, for another one of my quiche days!


This is so good! The mushrooms, ham, cheese and shallots are so delicious together!

Mushroom and Shallots Quiche
(adapted from "Martha Stewart's New Pies & Tarts")
All purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee (refer recipe below)
Mushroom and Shallot Filling (refer recipe below)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk (I did not use the extra egg yolk)
pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1-1/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (I use Cheddar)

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 14-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit it into a 10-inch round fluted tart panb with a removable bottom, gently pressing dough to fit. With a small knife or rolling pin, trim excess dough flush with rim. Pierce bottom of shell all over with a fork. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375F. Line shell with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until crust is beginning to brown at edges, about 30 minutes. Remove parchment and weights; bake until bottom of crust is dry but not yet golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Transfer shell to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, make the filling of your choice, then prepare the custard ; In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, eggs, and yolk until combined, then whisk in nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over bottom of crust. Sprinkle with filling, then top with remaining cheese. Carefully pour custard over cheese. Bake until just set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.


Mushroom and Shallot Filling
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced (I used about 4-5)
1 pound white button mushrooms, quartered (I use only 1/2 pound, about 200gm)
150gm chopped ham (my addition)
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Heat oil in a large skillet over high. Cook shallots, stirring constantly, until translucent, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms (and ham bits, if using) and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are dark golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (Mushrooms will release liquid at first; cook until it has evaporated, adjusting heat as necessary). Transfer to a bowl, and let cool slightly.


For the Crust :
Pate Brisee
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt (omitted this as I've used salted butter)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

  1. Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a bowl). Add butter, and pulse (or quickly cut in with a pastry blender of your fingertips) until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger pieces remaining. Drizzle 1/4 cup water over mixture. Pulse (or mix with a fork) until mixture just begins to hold together. If dough is too dry, add 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse (or mix with a fork).
  2. Divide dough in half onto two pieces of plastic wrap. Gather into two balls, wrap loosely in plastic, and press each into a disk using a rolling pin. Refrigerate until firm, well wrapped in plastic, 1 hour or up to 1 day. (Dough can be frozen up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator before using).

kitchen flavours notes :
When mixing in the cold water, start with 3 tablespoons first, adding 1 tablespoons at a time until mixture just begins to hold together. In total, I only used about 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of ice water.

***************************

Yes, you have read the title of the post correctly! It is Mushroom Chocolate Cookies! And no, it is not one of those cute little cookies that looks like cute little mushrooms, but these cookies actually have real mushrooms in them!

I was just playing around when I google from the internet for mushrooms sweet desserts, well, I was surprised that there are quite a number out there, something that I never thought about, until that moment when I decided to try my luck and see whether is there any sweet desserts with mushrooms as one of its ingredient. One thing I've learnt is that, there's a mushroom called Candy Cap Mushrooms, which are dried and used for dessert making, because of their maple-like taste! Imagine that!  Mushrooms with a maple taste, how I wish I could get my hands on some of these! Since I do not know where to get dried Candy Cap Mushroom, and I really doubt that I could get it over here in Malaysia, I will just have to settle for these cookies that uses fresh mushrooms! I am really, really curious as to the taste of fresh mushrooms in chocolate cookies. So the only way is, to bake these cookies, even at 33 degrees C in a blazing hot kitchen!  Are these good? Read on to find out!

Mushroom Of The Day : Brown Button Mushroom

I use fresh brown button mushrooms. They are chopped coarsely and mixed into the batter ....


... along with some golden raisins and chopped walnuts. The original recipe uses sour cream, but I have substitute with homemade yoghurt and only use 1/2 cup instead of 3/4 cup, because the batter is very soft and if I used up all 3/4 cup, it would end up like a cake batter.


Drop teaspoonfuls of batter onto prepared pans, spacing them 2" apart.


These cookies do not spread much. The texture is crispy on the outside and soft in the centre. Since we do not like soft cookies in my house, I have baked these cookies longer, maybe 10-12 minutes longer, rotating the cookie sheets in between, until they are crispy.


There, Mushroom Chocolate Cookies! Would you have known that these chocolate cookies have fresh mushrooms in them, by the look of these cookies?  I definitely can't tell. Well, how about if you have munch on one, can you tell? Read on the reaction from my family, of course I did not let them know that there's fresh mushrooms in the cookies, until later!

Review from the family :
After munching on one piece of these cookies, here's the response :
Son : Yum! One more please!
Me : Can you guess what's in the cookies?
Son : Raisins and nuts.
Me: There's one more ingredient.
Son : (crunch, chomp, chomp, crunch). No idea, but can I have another one?
(The son ate the cookies fresh after baking, when the cookies are still crispy, and surprisingly, good).

Daughter and hubby : Both of them ate a few, trying to figure out the mystery ingredient, and still could not guess what that ingredient is. When I finally told them that it's mushroom, they were very surprised and could not believe that there's mushrooms in the cookies, asking me whether was I joking!

My reviewUnfortunately these cookies do not stay crispy for long, later in the night, when we ate it again, they have turned soft and tender! Just as stated in the recipe "They will stay beautifully moist and tender for days". These cookies are actually quite nice, just like regular soft chocolate cookies. But advisable to finish them as soon as possible, since they contain fresh mushrooms, I don't think they can keep for much longer than a few days. I guess these are really for those who love chewy or soft cookies, but not for my family, we still like crispy cookies the best.

Note : This recipe was originally from "The Mushroom Cookbook" by Sybil Henderson, published in 1968. 


These cookies looks like just like any other chocolate cookies. For fun, bake a batch of these, let the family guess the mystery ingredient, and I bet that, nobody would know that there's mushrooms in the cookies! Haha! Have fun!

Fettuccine with Spring Onions and Soya Bean : IHCC

************************


"Use Your Noodle" , our theme for this week at I Heart Cooking Clubs (IHCC), where we are cooking from Yotam Ottolenghi's recipes until September. There are a couple of recipes that I've listed down to try and finally chose this "easy and comforting" pasta meal, so says Ottolenghi. The original recipe uses dried wide rice noodles and can be substitute with fettuccine instead. I've decided to use fettuccine since I have a packet in my pantry and some frozen soya beans in my freezer which is one of the ingredients used.


This dish uses lots of spring onions, I have no problem with that, as we love spring onions in my house, and usually when I cook any dish with spring onions, I will use lots of it! I have some green jalapenos in my fridge and use that to replace the green chilies.  Some sesame seeds are toasted to be mixed in later. Seasoning used are some sesame oil, rice-wine vinegar, salt and lemon zest. Fettuccine are cooked till al dente. The spring onions are sauteed in a little oil together with the sliced jalapenos for about 2 minutes, add in the soya beans and pour over the drained fettuccine,  the seasonings are added in, and mix well to combine.


Top with some lemon zest before serving. This dish is just OK me. I would not say that it is entirely not tasty, but a little plain if eaten as a meal. It would be OK if served as a side dish alongside some roasted meat, but to eat it as a meal by itself is pretty much boring in my opinion. I made this for my kids' after school lunch, and not sure they will like this, so I have jazzed it up a little. I pan-fried some chopped bacon, along with some leftover sausage filling from my Portobello Pizza, and toss the bacon-sausage mixture with the fettucine, with some black pepper.


Bacon and sausages never fails to add flavour to a dish! Tastes so much better. My kids ate this without complaints, even commented "Wow, with bacon, very nice!"

Fettuccine with Spring Onions and Soya Beans
(source from : here, Yotam Ottolenghi)
250 gm dried wide rice noodles (or fettuccine)
3 tbsp sunflower oil
32 small spring onions, trimmed and cut diagonally into 3cm slices
2 green chillies, thinly sliced
250 gm frozen soya beans, blanched for two minutes, refreshed and drained
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
1-1/2 tsp rice-wine vinegar
2 tbsp chopped coriander (optional)
salt
grated zest of 1 lemon

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles for four to six minutes, until al dente. Drain, wash off the excess starch with hot water and set aside in a large bowl with half a tablespoon of sunflower oil stirred through. Keep the bowl somewhere warm, covered.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining sunflower oil in a large wok or saute pan and add the spring onions and chilli. Cook for two minutes on high heat until the onions soften a little, then add the soya beans and heat them through for 30 seconds.

Pour the contents of the wok over the warm noodles, followed by the sesame oil, sesame seeds, vinegar, coriander (is using) and half a teaspoon of salt. Stir and serve at once, sprinkled with lemon zest.
