Wild Mushroom Spring Pea Stroganoff Recipes

PEA FLAN WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Make the flan: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Generously butter six 6-ounce ramekins, and place in a roasting pan. Combine cream and milk in a bowl.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the peas. Reduce heat, and vigorously simmer until peas are very tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and immediately transfer to a food processor. Add butter, 1 tablespoon cream mixture, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Puree until very smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour puree through a coarse sieve. Measure out 1/2 cup strained puree into a bowl, and whisk in eggs, then remaining cream mixture. Strain through a fine sieve (this will result in the finest-textured flan). Divide among ramekins.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Place pan in oven, and add enough boiling water to pan to reach halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until custards are almost completely set (the centers should still wobble, but not be liquid), 25 to 30 minutes.
• Using tongs, transfer ramekins to a wire rack and let cool 30 minutes. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cool (flans can be refrigerated in ramekins up to 1 hour); dip bottoms in hot water to loosen before unmolding.
• Make the mushrooms: When ready to serve flans, melt butter in a large skillet over high heat until foamy. Add mushrooms and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Saute until mushrooms are golden brown and tender, stirring once or twice, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in scallions, and saute 1 minute more. Add cream, and cook 1 minute. Stir in parsley and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve flans with sauteed mushrooms and lemon wedges. Garnish with lemon-zest strips.

• Melt the first amount of butter over medium heat and add the shallot, cook until tender.
• Add the mushrooms to the pot and cook until tender.

• While the sauce is simmering, in a separate pot melt the second amount of butter over medium heat.

WILD MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Fry the onions and celery in a heavy based pan, using the butter. Keep the heat low and fry for about 5 minutes in total. The onions should then be transparent and very soft.
• Add the mushrooms and fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the juice runs out of the mushrooms. Do not adjust the heat, keeping it low will seal in the flavour of the mushrooms.
• Add in the herbs and basil. Next stir in the flour, making sure that you get rid of any lumps. If it is lumpy then beat vigorously. Cook for one minute, then add the stock and seasoning. Simmer for about 8-10 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the soured cream or yoghurt. Taste and adjust the seasoning as required. Return to the stove top and heat up to serving temperature, but be careful not to let it boil or this will spoil the flavour.
