Marvelous Mushroom Dressing Recipes

SERIOUSLY GOOD MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176° C).
• Cut bread into 1-inch cubes, spread out onto a large rimmed baking sheet, and bake, stirring every so often, until the bread is dry and hard on the outside, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the bread bakes, prepare and cook the vegetables. Chop the mushrooms into very small pieces either by hand or by using a food processor. If using a food processor (the quickest method), place half the mushrooms in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until roughly chopped into pieces the size of rice. Transfer to a bowl, and then repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or deep pot over medium heat, and then add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and they are starting to brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in the onions, celery, garlic, sage, and thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the onions have softened and smell sweet, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper - start with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, taste, and then add from there. Stir in the maple syrup.
• Take the pot off of the heat, and then stir in the broth. Taste the mixture once more and check the seasoning. If it needs it, add a pinch more salt. Stir in the bread cubes and half of the parsley. If after the bread is well mixed into the vegetable mixture, it still looks dry, add 1/4 cup more broth or more until the bread looks moist, but stop before there is excess liquid at the bottom of the pot.
• Transfer the stuffing mixture to a lightly greased baking dish (use a deep 8-inch x 8-inch square pan, 9-inch by 13-inch dish or similar). Cover with a layer of foil, and then bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the stuffing, and bake another 10 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp on top. Serve with the remaining parsley scattered on top.

BRUSCHETTA BAR TO GO

Steps:

• For the tomatoes and olives: Add the tomatoes, green and black olives, basil, olive oil, garlic and some salt and pepper to a bowl and mix.
• For the marvelous mushrooms: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the quartered mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes; drain. Add the olive oil, vinegar, parsley, thyme, pepper, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a bowl and mix. Stir in the mushrooms and let cool, then tip the mixture into a mason jar.
• For the marinated mozzarella balls: Add the mozzarella, basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, lemon zest and some salt and pepper to a mason jar. Top up with the olive oil, put on the lid and shake.
• For the roasted asparagus: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until brown in spots and just tender (not overly so--still with a bite), about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• For the bruschetta: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Cut the boule in half, then cut each half into 1/2-inch slices. Drizzle both sides of the slices with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the slices until toasted, about 3 minutes each side.
• Arrange the tomatoes and olives, marvelous mushrooms, marinated mozzarella balls, roasted asparagus and bruschetta on a large tray or rimmed baking sheet so everyone can assemble their own.
