Best Portobello Caviar Recipes

PORTABELLA MUSHROOM CAVIAR

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm up 1 teaspoons of olive oil and saute the green onion for 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil. Add mushrooms, garlic, and thyme; saute until tender. Don't overcrowd the pan, or mushrooms will be poached. Work in 2 batches.
• Move the green onions and mushrooms to a food processor. Use the pulse button, and process until coarsely chopped(not mushy!). Don't overprocess.
• Return the mushrooms to the pan. Add lemon juice, vinegar, and pepper. Saute over medium high heat until the liquid has evaporated, 1-2 minutes.
• Serve in a small crock as a spread for toast, pita crisps, veggies, lettuce, etc. Enjoy!

BAKED PORTOBELLOS WITH POTATOES AND SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss the potatoes with the oil and 1 teaspoon of salt and transfer them to a greased baking sheet large enough to hold them in a single layer. Bake, turning the potatoes once, until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.
• Lower temperature to 400 degrees. Whisk together the eggs, 1/3 cup sour cream, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir in the portobello caviar. Brush the mushroom caps with olive oil, season them on both sides with salt and place them gill-side up on a greased baking sheet. Lay the potato slices over the mushrooms, letting some hang over the edges of the mushrooms like petals of a flower. Divide the caviar mixture evenly into 4 parts, mounding 1 part in the middle of each mushroom cap. Bake until the filling is set and the mushroom caps are very tender, about 30 minutes. Garnish each mushroom with a dollop of sour cream and parsley and serve.

PORTOBELLO EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter; add the crushed garlic and Italian seasonings. Using a cake pan or cookie sheet with edges, place the caps, gill side up and without the stem (reserve the stem for making veggie broth). Equally divide the butter mixture between caps. Bake for about 20 minutes. Caps should be cooked but not shriveled. They should be firm to touch and just a little light color left. (Do not over cook.)
• While caps are cooking, start your poached egg water. Add a teaspoon of white vinegar to help bind the eggs. When the caps are done, remove them and cover them with foil to keep them warm. Turn the oven up to broil. Drop your eggs into hot water. In another large frying pan, saute/steam your spinach in just a touch of olive oil and a little water. Keep stirring the spinach.
• When the eggs are almost ready (about 4 minutes). Arrange the spinach on 4 oven safe plates. Place 1 cap on each bed of spinach; place 2 eggs on each cap. Drizzle heavy cream over the whole plate. Sprinkle with Parmesan and flash under broiler, just enough to melt cheese a little. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with fresh fruit.
