Mushrooms And Oysters Recipes

BAKED OYSTERS WITH WILD MUSHROOM RAGOUT

Steps:

• Buy the oysters. When buying oysters, look for a tag with the harvest date and use them within a week of that date. Also, make sure the oysters are fresh and alive; the shells should be tightly closed or should close when tapped.
• Chill and clean. Put the oysters in a colander of ice when you get home, then place the colander in a bowl and refrigerate. When you're ready to cook, scrub the oysters with a stiff brush under cold running water to remove any grit (a clean nail brush works well).
• Shuck the oysters. Hold the oyster, curved-side down, in a towel on a cutting board. Insert an oyster knife between the shells at the narrow pointed end. (Use a real oyster knife-there is no substitute!) Press down firmly on the oyster to prevent slipping and twist the knife to pry the shells apart. Use the knife for leverage; do not use force. Cut the muscle that connects the oyster to the top shell with the knife, being careful not to pierce the meat. Remove the top shell. Slide your knife under the oyster to loosen it, keeping the meat and liquid in the shell. Use your knife to carefully scrape away any shards of shell.
• Make the aioli. Blend the garlic, egg yolks, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil with the motor running and process until thick. Use a rubber spatula to transfer the aioli to a bowl, then cover and refrigerate.
• Prepare the ragout. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crisp. Add the shallots and mushrooms and cook 5 minutes, stirring. Add the garlic, cook 3 minutes, then add the butter and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble the oysters. Preheat the broiler. Place the oysters, in their shells, in individual flameproof baking dishes or one large flameproof dish. (Put a crumpled sheet of foil underneath them to keep them steady, if necessary.) Top each with a spoonful of mushroom ragout.
• Finish the dish. Top each oyster with a dollop of aeoli. Broil until the aeoli is golden, about 2 minutes, and serve immediately.

EASY ROASTED OYSTER MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cut off any tough ends of the mushroom stems and discard. Place mushrooms in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined. Let mushrooms sit to absorb the oil while the oven preheats.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread mushrooms out on the prepared baking sheet in one layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Using tongs, flip mushrooms over and continue roasting to desired doneness, about 10 minutes more.

SAUTéED OYSTER MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sauté mushrooms with 1/2 teaspoon salt until golden, about 8 minutes. Add vinegar and sauté until evaporated, about 1 minute. Season with salt, then transfer to a plate to cool. Serve at room temperature.

MUSHROOMS AND OYSTERS

Steps:

• Slice mushrooms and saute in 2 Tblsp. butter 2 minutes. Line bottom of a greased casserole with 1/3 of crumbs, add a layer of sliced mushrooms and dot with 1 Tblsp. butter; add another layer of crumbs, then oysters, remaining sliced mushrooms and a final layer of crumbs.
• Pour milk, cream and remaining 5 Tblsp. melted butter over top. Bake in 350* oven 25 minutes.

GRANDMA'S OYSTER MUSHROOM PO BOY

Steps:

• For the vegan pepper jack: Dice the jalapeño and sauté in a pan in the oil with the red pepper flakes on medium heat.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, add the soy milk, tapioca flour, kappa carrageenan and salt. Start cooking at medium heat until it starts to thicken.
• Slowly add the coconut oil to the soy milk mixture. Emulsify with an immersion blender to blend until the oil and liquid fuse together, then add the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and nutritional yeast, whisking. Fold in the jalapeño mixture until fully mixed, then scrape it into a 5-by-9-inch bread pan or cheese mold. Let set in the fridge for 8 hours.
• For the vegan mayo: With an immersion blender, emulsify the soy milk, lemon juice, agave, mustard powder, salt and vinegar in a bowl for 30 seconds, then add the vegetable oil, continuing to emulsify on high until the liquid thickens.
• For the horseradish mayo: Mix the horseradish, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt and 2 cups vegan mayo in a small bowl.
• For the chipotle mayo: Mix the chipotles, lemon juice and 1 cup vegan mayo a in small bowl.
• For the mushrooms: Mix together the flour and panko in a bowl. Dredge the oyster mushrooms in the unsweetened soy milk followed by the panko mixture.
• Bring the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer.
• Fry 5 to 8 mushroom petals until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Slice the cheese 1/2-inch-thick (or however thin you like it) and place it on the buns.
• Put a pan on a burner on medium-low heat.
• Place the bun and cheese face down in the pan to melt the cheese until lightly toasted brown.
• Spread some horseradish mayo, 5 dill pickles, oyster mushrooms, red cabbage, chipotle mayo and the cheesy bun top. (Save remaining mushrooms and sauces for another use; see Cook's Notes.) Enjoy.
