Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups thinly sliced mushroom caps (like portobello, shiitake or oyster mushrooms), about 2 pounds
olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup finely sliced shallots
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried chile de arbole (sold in Hispanic markets)
1 teaspoon ancho chili powder (sold in Hispanic markets)
8 ounces goat cheese, cut into 8 slices
2 dried New Mexico chili peppers (sold in Hispanic markets), stemmed and seeded
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine mushrooms, 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic and shallots, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until the ingredients are lightly coated with oil.
  • Arrange evenly in one layer in a large, heavy roasting pan and roast until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool.
  • Prepare chili oil: in a blender, combine 1 cup olive oil, the New Mexico chilies, the chile de arbole and ancho powder. Puree. Strain through a fine strainer, and reserve. (Recipe to this point can be made a day ahead.)
  • To serve, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the mushrooms in a large baking dish, drizzle with 1/2 cup chili oil and top with cheese slices. Bake until hot, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven, garnish with thyme, and drizzle with a little more chili oil (any remainder will keep for three days). Serve hot.
