Warm Camembert With Wild Mushroom Fricassee Recipe 435

WARM CAMEMBERT WITH WILD MUSHROOM FRICASSEE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the walnut pieces on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 7 minutes, until lightly browned. Lower the oven temperature to 300°F. Remove the Camembert from the box and unwrap it. Put the cheese back in the bottom half of the box and set it on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, until soft. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the walnut oil. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 3 minutes longer. Add the shallot and cook until softened, 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and sage; season with salt and pepper. Invert the Camembert onto a platter. Stir the walnuts into the mushrooms and spoon over the cheese. Serve with the toasts.

WILD MUSHROOM FRICASSEE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan bring the white wine to the boil and boil for 30 seconds. Reserve.
• Brush any earth and dirt carefully off the wild mushrooms. Wash briefly (for 10-15 seconds at the most) in water and drain on a clean tea-towel. Set aside.
• Make the croutons by slicing the baguette into very thin slices. Toast the slices until golden brown and rub with the clove of peeled garlic.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, heavy-based frying pan. Fry the chopped shallots, stirring, over medium heat for 30 seconds without allowing them to brown.
• Turn up the heat and add the garlic and all the wild mushrooms apart from the black trumpets.
• Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add the reserved white wine and gently mix inches.
• Cover the frying pan with a large lid and cook over high heat for 1 minute.
• Uncover the mushrooms and add the lemon juice. Stir in the remaining butter until melted.
• Add two-thirds of the parsley leaves and the diced tomatoes. Cook for a further 10-30 seconds.
• Serve the mushrooms fricassee in either a large bowl or four soup plates. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley and serve with the croutons on the side.
