Mushroom Ricotta Rocket Tart Recipes

MUSHROOM, RICOTTA & ROCKET TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and place a baking sheet inside. Unroll the pastry onto a piece of baking parchment and score a border around the pastry about 1.5cm in from the edge. Place the pastry (still on the parchment) on the baking sheet and cook for 10-15 mins.
• While the pastry bakes, heat the oil in a large lidded pan and cook the mushrooms for 2-3 mins, with the lid on, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and add the sliced garlic, then cook for 1 min more to get rid of excess liquid.
• Mix the crushed garlic with the ricotta and nutmeg, then season well. Remove the pastry from the oven and carefully push down the risen centre. Spread over the ricotta mixture, then spoon on the mushrooms and garlic. Bake for 5 mins, then scatter over the parsley and rocket.

MUSHROOM RICOTTA TOAST

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they give off their liquid and are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the marjoram, garlic and some salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute more.
• Meanwhile, add the ricotta, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste to a food processor and process until very smooth.
• Spread the whipped ricotta on the toasted bread. Toss the arugula with salt and pepper. Arrange the mushrooms on the ricotta mixture, then top with the arugula.

PAN-FRIED MUSHROOMS WITH RICOTTA CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms until they begin to sweat, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar, beef bouillon, and garlic. Cook and stir mushroom mixture until bouillon is dissolved and mushrooms are lightly browned, 10 to 15 more minutes. Stir ricotta cheese into mushroom mixture and remove from heat.
