I was catching up with my cooking shows on TiVo and came across a repeat of Jamie Oliver’s show, Jamie at Home. Today’s episode was centered on mushrooms. Jamie was out in the woods picking wild mushrooms with his friend they sit log-side and make a Wild Mushroom Bruschetta – yes, in the middle of the woods. 

A nice handful of sliced Wild Mushrooms
Olive Oil
Butter
Minced Garlic
Fresh Thyme
Minced Rosemary
Minced Shallot
A crusty bread, sliced on the bias, brushed with olive oil and grill. If you have a panini press, brush both sides and place in the panini press. 

Start with a  hot pan with some olive oil. Place a handful in the pan and sear. 

When the mushrooms start to get some color, add the minced garlic, thyme, shallot and rosemary

Pinch of kosher salt, pinch of fresh ground pepper

At this point, you can add stock or water. Tonite, I added white wine. If you use wine, make sure to give it time for the alcohol to burn off. After a minute, add a generous pat of butter. Add a small amount of water, this will help mellow the wine down a bit.

Once the “sauce” thickens, I place one more small pat of butter to finish it off.  Place mushrooms on top of grilled bread and serve. 

It was sooo good. I had a crisp Chardonnay with it and it was a good match.
