Wild Mushroom Confit with Garlic and fresh herbs<\/p>\nWild Mushroom Confit with Garlic and fresh herbs<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 lb (455 g) assorted wild mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, Chanterelles, morels, black trumpet\u2026) \u2013 medium in size<\/p>\n
2 C. extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
8 large garlic cloves \u2013 peeled and halved<\/p>\n
12 large sage leaves<\/p>\n
4 rosemary sprigs<\/p>\n
6 thyme sprigs<\/p>\n
8 winter savory sprigs<\/p>\n
2 fresh bay leaves<\/p>\n
2 tsp. whole black Tellicherry peppercorns<\/p>\n
1 tsp. sea salt<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 T. aged sherry wine vinegar<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brush the mushrooms clean and trim the stems, but keep the mushrooms whole. Set aside. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. (I recommend a 12\u2033 skillet.) Add 1\/3 cup of oil and the mushrooms, toss carefully, and saut\u00e9 undisturbed for 2 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown. Toss again and continue to saut\u00e9 until the mushrooms are golden-brown, about 4 to 5 minutes, tossing only from time to time. Add the garlic pieces and saut\u00e9 for 1 minute, until the garlic is golden but not brown. Reduce heat to medium, add the balance of the oil and the herbs and peppercorns, and gently heat until the oil reaches 170\u00baF (80\u00baC) (use a thermometer). Once the oil has reached the desired temperature, continue poaching the mushrooms for 6 to 7 minutes, maintaining the temperature at 170\u00baF (80\u00baC), until the herbs are crisp and have turned a shade darker. Transfer the mushrooms, herbs and oil into a large bowl. Stir in the salt and vinegar and allow to cool to room temperature. To serve, scoop out the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and place in a serving bowl. Cook\u2019s note: Once cooled, the mushrooms can be refrigerated in their cooking oil for up to 1 week. (Make sure they are covered with the oil.) Bring to room temperature before serving. To serve as a side dish, gently heat the mushrooms in their oil, drain, remove the herbs and peppercorns and serve warm.<\/p>\n

Tip: Once you\u2019ve consumed all these amazingly delicious mushrooms, don\u2019t throw the oil away. Strain it through a fine sieve and use it to make another batch of the mushroom confit; or use it to make vinaigrettes, to drizzle over roasted or grilled vegetables, to saut\u00e9 vegetables or to make sauces. It\u2019ll bring beautiful aromas and flavors to anything you cook with it. Refrigerate the strained oil for up to 1 month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
