Best Texas Black Gold Mushrooms Recipes

STEWED CHINESE BLACK MUSHROOMS.

Steps:

• Soak the mushrooms in room temperatured water, just enough to cover. Leave for a few hours. If you're in a rush, you can try to use boiling water, but this usually ends up in really soggy mushrooms.
• Once tender, drain the mushrooms and reserve the liquid in a bowl. Put mushrooms in a colander, toss in cornflour and rinse. Squeeze the mushrooms over the bowl of reserved liquid and arrange in a single layer in another dish.
• Toss in extra cornflour, sugar and oil. Steam for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, switch off the gas and leave for 5 minutes, keeping the lid on.
• Heat oil in a wok or casserole. Once hot, add ginger, then mushrooms. Top with reserved liquid, oyster sauce and pepper powder. Stir thoroughly, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Taste sauce. If it lacks flavour, add some more oyster sauce.
• They taste good fresh, but even better after a few days.
• Enjoy :).

STUFFED BLACK MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and chop.
• Sautee the onion, garlic and chopped mushroom stalks in olive oil until the onion is soft, then remove from the heat.
• Mix the breadcrumbs, parsley, herbs and cheese together.
• Add the wine and melted butter to the saucepan, then add the dry ingredients.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Lay the mushrooms on a greased baking sheet and mould a large spoonful of the mixture into each one.
• Bake at 180C/350F for 20 mins, until the stuffing starts to turn golden.
• Serve on a crouton of fried bread (ideal for not wasting the delicious juices), or on a bed of mixed leaves (rocket works well), or both.
