Mushroom Basil Pasta

Original recipe from doTERRA Blog.



Mushroom Basil Pasta

Ingredients

4 servings vegan pasta noodles
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ onion, chopped
Sea salt, to taste
300–350 grams brown mushrooms (Italian or Crimini)
1 drop Basil oil
1 drop Black Pepper oil
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons pine nuts
Fresh basil leaves, to garnish


Method 

Using a damp paper towel, wipe each mushroom to remove any dirt, or lightly rinse the mushrooms with cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Do not soak the mushrooms as they will retain too much water to cook properly.
Chop onion, and mince garlic. Cut mushrooms by trimming and discarding thin slices from the end of the stems. Slice the mushroom from top to stem to your desired thickness.
Cook pasta according to package instructions in salted water.
As pasta is cooking, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a pan. Roast onion and mushrooms in the heated oil for about 10 minutes, or until mushrooms are golden and the onion is clear and soft. Add garlic about 2 minutes before lowering heat, watching carefully so as not to burn. Remove from heat.
In another pan, toast pine nuts until golden.
Once pasta is al dente, drain. Mix together 1 tablespoon olive oil with 1 drop Basil and 1 drop Black Pepper oil. Pour oil mixture over noodles, and toss until evenly coated.
Add mushrooms, onions, garlic, and pine nuts to the noodles and mix until combined. Salt to taste.
Serve hot, topped with fresh basil.

BBQ Pulled Mushroom Sandwich

This recipe comes care of Chef Chris Rubenstein.
I used collard greens, Chinese cabbage and carrots for my salad as I didn't have the other ingredients.


BBQ Pulled Mushroom  Sandwich with Kale Slaw
Serves 4

Ingredients

For BBQ pulled mushroom;
1 lb king oyster mushrooms/trumpet mushrooms (Asian supermarket)
1 cup BBQ sauce (link to the homemade one I used)
2 cups wood chips (apple or cherry), soaked in water for 1/2 hour
2 Tbls oil (not olive)

For kaleslaw;
1 head kale
1 cup vegan mayo
1 red onion
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
4 Tbls sugar
1 Tbls crushed red pepper
2 carrots

For serving;
4 buns/rolls


Method

Smoke mushrooms - in a regular gas grill, use a smoking box and spread out the wood chips evenly.
Set grill on high (wanting to get to around 600F) adding the smoking box and wait around 10-15 mins for the wood chips to start smoking.
Break apart the mushrooms into stalks and set them on the top rack of your grill


Close the lid and leave to smoke for around 20 mins, keep an eye on them - they will get dark and smokey but don't burn them.


Once the mushrooms are smoking start on the kale-slaw.
Pull the leaves off your kale and roll up to slice thinly.
Peel the carrots and grate.
Julienne the onions.
Add all the vegetables to a salad bowl and toss together.
In a mixing bowl add mayo, apple cider vinegar, crushed peppers, sugar and whisk until well mixed.
Add dressing to vegetables and toss through.


Shredding the mushrooms - using a fork just scrap down the mushroom stem to get shreds and with the top pieces you can just push down with a fork.


In a frying pan add oil on a low-medium heat and add mushrooms and allow to coat with oil.
Then add BBQ sauce and mix to coat the mushrooms.
Allow sauce to caramelize slightly.


Make your sandwich by adding the slaw and then the mushrooms.

Mixed Mushroom Risotto

I adapted Jamie Oliver's basic risotto recipe to vegan and then made it mushroomy....mmmmm! This is a wonderfully rich dish so you may prefer it as a starter :)


Mixed Mushroom Risotto

Ingredients

1.1 litres vegetable stock
2 Tbls vegan butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ head celery, finely chopped (I used 1 tsp celery salt in lieu)
400 g risotto rice
2 wineglasses dry white vermouth or dry white wine
sea salt
4 cups mixed mushrooms (I used porcini, shiitake, oyster and portobello)
1 tsp dried tarragon
3 springs of parsley, chopped
Juice of one lemon
freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbls of vegan butter
90 g vegan Parmesan cheese


Method

Heat the stock to nearly boil and then reduce heat to low and keep on a simmer.
In a separate pan, heat the olive oil and butter, add the onions, garlic and celery, and fry very slowly for about 15 minutes without colouring.
When the vegetables have softened, add the rice and turn up the heat to medium and keep stirring.
After a minute it will look slightly translucent.
Add the vermouth or wine and keep stirring.
Once the vermouth or wine has cooked into the rice, add in mushrooms and dried herbs and stir through.
Alternatively you can fry or grill your mushrooms separately and add once cooked.
Add your first ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of salt.
Turn down the heat to a simmer so the rice doesn't cook too quickly on the outside.
Keep adding ladlefuls of stock, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next.
This will take around 15 minutes.
Carry on adding stock until the rice is soft but with a slight bite.
Don't forget to check the seasoning carefully.
If you run out of stock before the rice is cooked, add some boiling water.
Adding more stock will make the risotto too salty.
Add in lemon juice and fresh herbs.
Remove from the heat and add the butter and Parmesan. Stir well.
Place a lid on the pan and allow to sit for 2 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper before serving.

Miso Mushroom Noodle Soup

I loved this soup but I like miso and mushrooms. If you don't then it's probably not for you :)
I got this recipe from Miratel blog (random I know but I saw it on Pinterest). This recipe serves four small bowls or two large.



Miso Mushroom Noodle Soup

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 shallots, finely sliced
2 small hot chili peppers, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1x 1-inch piece ginger, grated
3 tablespoons yellow miso paste
2 tablespoons soy/tamari sauce
4 cups mushroom or vegetable broth
2 cups mixed mushrooms (I used white and shiitake)
200g fresh soba or rice noodles


Method

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot (big enough to hold all the broth and other ingredients).
Over a medium-high heat sauté the shallots, chili peppers, garlic and ginger until they are just starting to soften, but don’t let them colour.
Add the miso paste and soy sauce and stir to thoroughly coat the shallot mixture.
Add the broth, increase the heat and bring to a boil.
Add the mushrooms and bring back to the boil.
Add the noodles and cook for a remaining 4-5 minutes – the noodles and the mushrooms should be “al dente”.

Stuffed Mushrooms

These stuffed mushrooms have an Italian flavour and are perfect for party appetizers. This is a recipe of my husbands that was adapted from a bunch of different recipes put together.



Stuffed Mushrooms
Serves 4
Calories per serve 300

Ingredients

15 medium mushrooms
16 oz Veg Mince (I used Helen's Kitchen which was only 12 oz)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp rubbed sage
1/4 tsp fresh black pepper
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 tsp ground coriander seed
1 cup Italian bread crumbs*** (we ended up needing 2 cups of breadcrumbs because the Helen's Kitchen vegan mince is a bit liquidy)
1 egg replacer
4 Tbls vegan butter, melted or soft


Method

Preheat oven to 400F.
Wash and dry mushrooms and pull out stems. Keep the stems to the side.
Place mushrooms stem side up onto a baking tray.
In a food processor add mushroom stems, vegan mince, egg replacer, all the herbs, seasonings and spices.
Mix well then pour mixture into a bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs and butter and mix thoroughly, you want the consistency of cookie dough so that you can mold pieces. If it's too liquidy add more breadcrumbs.
Take a mushroom one at a time and add a small amount to the inside pressing into all the creases.
Take a bit more and mound on top of the mushroom.


Repeat until all are done.
Bake for around 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.


***We used regular GF breadcrumbs and made them Italian by adding the following herbs and spices;

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil

Vegan Parmesan to finish.


Method

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil.

Mushroom & Brazil Nut Pate

I used the original recipe from Mouthwatering Vegan's "Festive Pecan Cognac Pate" and changed the ingredients. It was really good and tasted similar to what I remember pate tasting like.



Mushroom & Brazil Nut Pate

Ingredients

100 grams of brazil nuts (either ground in a nut grinder or just in a food processor)
10 Swiss brown mushrooms, chopped
2- 3 garlic cloves
2-3 sprigs of fresh flat leaf parsley
1 fresh sage leaf (optional)
1 tbsp vegan butter or margarine
salt to taste (don’t omit this please)
2 slices of fresh breadcrumbs
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp cognac (I used sherry)
Pinch of black pepper


Method

Place the mushrooms, nuts, garlic and parsley in a food blender and process until very fine (it will take a minute or so, so use your plastic spatula every few seconds to scrape off any excess on the sides of the bowl, and reprocess). Add a tablespoon on water if mixture is too sticky.
Now add the vegan butter, bread, olive oil and salt, and process for a further minute.  At this point add the remaining ingredients and process again for another minute.

Note: You can fry up the butter, garlic and mushrooms in a pan beforehand if you prefer the taste of cooked mushrooms.

Potato, Leek & Mushroom Pie

I adapted this recipe from Allyson Kramer's Potato & Leek Pie recipe from her cookbook "Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats".

2 large potatoes, washed and sliced thinly
500g button mushrooms, sliced

4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 Tbls fresh rosemary
salt & pepper to taste


Method

Preheat oven to 200C.
In a pie tray with high sides, spray with oil and place some baking paper over the tray and push down.
This makes it easy to lift the pie out afterwards.
Place the first sheet of pastry in the bottom of the tray and push down and around the sides.
Place potato slices in the bottom of the pie and evenly spread them out.
Sprinkle some rosemary over the top.
Repeat with the leek and mushrooms.



Once finished heat the magarine in the microave for 30 seconds or until melted.
Whisk in the garlic and any remaining rosemary.
Pour mixture over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
Place the second pastry sheet over the top pressing down at the sides and fold up the edges.
Use a knife to create a few holes in the top for steam.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove foil and back for a further 40-60 minutes or until pastry is browned and crisp.
