Hello John!
And this is a recipe for a wild mushroom tart we often cook.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.04
Title: Tarte Aux Champignons Des Bois
Categories: Starters, Pastries, Vegetables, French
Yield: 8 servings
350 g Shortcrust pastry
500 g Horn of Plenty/Chanterelles
20 ml Oil OR
20 g Butter
1 Finely chopped onion
1 Crushed garlic clove
Chopped parsley (lots)
Salt & pepper
150 ml Creme fraiche
35 g Grated gruyere
Oil
Clean the mushrooms carefully. Cut the largest in four, leave the
little ones and cut the rest in two. If you're using chanterelles and
the stalks are very long, you can cut them into bits first.
Put a little oil into a frying pan, heat gently and add the mushrooms
so that they can release their liquid. Remove and reserve. (You can,
if you like, reduce this liquid almost to nothing before adding oil
or butter in the next stage). Add the oil or butter and heat on a
moderate flame. Add the onion, the garlic and the parsley, cover and
sweat without taking colour, till they are tender, stirring from time
to time. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook for more or less 5
minutes more till the liquid has gone. Cool, and chill in the fridge
till needed. Roll out the pastry and line an 8" tart ring with it.
Put it in the fridge 20 mins or so to relax. *you can cook ahead to
this point.*
Preheat the oven to 220C (450F). Spread the mushroom mixture on the
raw pastry and pour the cream over it. Sprinkle with the grated
cheese and put it in the oven. After a few minutes reduce to 200C
(400F). Total cooking time is around 20-25 minutes. Serve hot, warm
or cold.
MMMMM
All the Best
