Mushroom Caviar
From dreamweaver 15 years ago
- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 5
A great "poor man's" caviar that tastes great in a pumpernickle bread bowl
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms shopping list
- 4–6 scallions shopping list
- 4 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice shopping list
- 1/2 cup sour cream shopping list
- salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper shopping list
- several sprigs of fresh dill shopping list
How to make it
- Clean the mushrooms carefully with a soft bristled brush or damp towel. Slice thickly.
- Minced the scallions, including all the green except damaged or wilted ends. Sauté over medium heat in 1 tablespoon of oil. Scrape into a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the rest of the oil to the same skillet and sauté the mushrooms over medium heat until all the liquid has boiled off or been reabsorbed and the mushroom pieces are firm and lightly brown. Stir in the sautéed scallion bits, add lemon juice to taste and scrape the mixture onto a cutting board. Chop into a coarse-textured "caviar" and turn into a bowl. Stir in the sour cream and season to taste with salt, black pepper and a generous pinch of cayenne.
- Serve at room temperature. Just before serving, mince the dill finely and mix in, reserving some to sprinkle decoratively over the top. Delicious with pieces of toasted rye or pumpernickle bread.
