Delicious Mushroom Pie Canapé Recipe – Best Home Cook – Cheap Simple & Delicious
Mushrooms are one of those ingredients that people either love or hate and I honestly believe that many people who don’t like them haven’t cooked the right kind the right way. What’s not to love about wild mushrooms cooked with butter a ton of garlic and fresh herbs? So flavorful so many textures so savory earthy and umami. And when I say wild mushrooms make sure they’re edible and not covered in red spots we don’t want hallucinations.
The most common mushrooms are white button mushrooms which are a bit bland. However if you go to your local farmers market during the right season they should have a variety of wild mushrooms. Otherwise your local fancy grocery store will usually have a box of mixed wild mushrooms. You can also go to an Asian market and pick up some of my favorites like shiitake wood ear shimeji and oyster mushrooms. Another favorite of mine is chanterelles but they are harder to find because they are not available year-round.
The key to this recipe is to get a variety of different varieties which not only look different for a pretty Instagram photo but also for more complex umami flavors. Another secret to a fun mushroom experience is how you cook them. I’ve seen them over and over again and all you’re left with is a pot of mushroom water and a dime-sized piece of meat. We want the mushrooms to hold their shape and stay meaty and juicy. So I blind bake the pastry shells and add the freshly cooked mushrooms on a bed of soft ricotta which provides the perfect creamy backdrop to the pastry allowing the mushrooms to really shine. And if you’re feeling really spicy you can drizzle the tops with your favorite chili oil.
