MUSHROOM CAVIAR

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet and saute onion for about 1 minute. Add mushrooms, garlic, and nutmeg; continue to saute for 4-5 minutes, until very soft.

• Chill, covered, until ready to serve.

MUSHROOM CAVIAR

Steps:

• Put the butter in a skillet and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook until lightly browned, 10 minutes or so.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper, then garnish with dill and serve.

FRITTATA-CAVIAR BITES

Steps:

• In a non-stick 10-inch saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the butter. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat to low.
• Add the egg mixture to the pan. Cook the eggs for 5 minutes, or until they start to set up. Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the eggs and place the pan under the broiler. Broil for 5 minutes until the eggs have cooked and the cheese is melted. Remove the frittata from the pan onto a cutting board. Sprinkle the frittata with chives. Cut the frittata into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Top each piece with a dollop of creme fraiche and caviar.

PORTABELLA MUSHROOM CAVIAR

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm up 1 teaspoons of olive oil and saute the green onion for 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil. Add mushrooms, garlic, and thyme; saute until tender. Don't overcrowd the pan, or mushrooms will be poached. Work in 2 batches.
• Move the green onions and mushrooms to a food processor. Use the pulse button, and process until coarsely chopped(not mushy!). Don't overprocess.
• Return the mushrooms to the pan. Add lemon juice, vinegar, and pepper. Saute over medium high heat until the liquid has evaporated, 1-2 minutes.
• Serve in a small crock as a spread for toast, pita crisps, veggies, lettuce, etc. Enjoy!

BLINI WITH MUSHROOM CAVIAR

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot. Cook, stirring, until tender, three to five minutes. Add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sweat, and add the garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often over medium heat, for five minutes until the mushrooms are tender and fragrant. Add the tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, and taste and adjust the seasonings. There should be very little liquid in the pan. If there is, continue to simmer uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the dill, and serve.
