MUSHROOMS A LA GRECQUE



Mushrooms a La Grecque image

A classic mushroom dish which can be served as one of several mezze dishes, or served with crusty rolls or pita bread and a favourite dip for lunch. It's served cold, and will appeal to mushroom lovers! I've adapted it from a recipe in 'Mediteranean Kitchen', and I'm posting it for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tomatoes, home-grown rather than supermarket variety
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup wine
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
500 g button mushrooms
2 teaspoons lemon juice
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 pinch brown sugar, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Cut a cross on the base of the tomatoes, immerse them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, then plunge them into cold water; drain and peel the skin away from the cross and, discarding the juice the and seeds (see notes below), finely chop the tomatoes.
  • Place the tomatoes, oil, wine, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and basil to a non-aluminium pan, add about 1 cup of water and bring to the boil; then cover and simmer for 10 minutes; then uncover the pan, add the mushrooms and simmer for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Lift out the mushroom with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.
  • Boil the cooking liquid rapidly until about 1 cup remains, remove the bay leaf, add the lemon juice and season with salt, pepper and sugar, to taste.
  • Pour the liquid over the mushrooms, and leave the mushrooms to cool.
  • Serve the mushrooms cold, sprinkled with the chopped parsley and the walnuts.
  • Notes: Rather than wasting such juices or vegetable peelings, I add them to my container of ingredients for when I next make my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453.

CHAMPIGNONS A LA GRECQUE

Mushrooms marinated in seasoned white wine and lemon juice. From "Classic French Cooking" by Elisabeth Luard. Goes very well with a nice pan-seared steak! Note that the "Cooking Time" for this recipe is only the marinating time. This must be made in advance, but there is very little work involved.
