Funghi Flatbread is Mushroom Nirvana

October 17, 2013 by Kathleen Korb

In the Bay Area, we are fortunate to have access to many mushrooms, like porcinis and chanterelles, that are difficult at best to cultivate and instead require the skilled eye, scientific mind and local knowledge of the expert forager. Luckily, during the peak of the mushroom season, only a trip to the farmers market is required.

Description

This recipe is inspired by the mushroom pizza from Piccino restaurant. It has a mushroom base with extra on top, which makes this a fungi nirvana flatbread.


Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
  • 1 pound mushrooms (mixed varieties; your choice)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 shallots, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
  • 1 splash white wine (optional) for deglazing
  • sea salt and pepper
  • 4 ounces pecorino cheese, shaved
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. 1.Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. 2. If your mushrooms are dirty, wipe them with a damp paper towel.
  3. 3. If using larger mushrooms, tear or cut them into medium-sized pieces. If using smaller mushrooms, leave whole.
  4. 4. In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, melt butter and olive oil. Add the mush- rooms and shallots and toss with butter and then spread into a single layer and leave undisturbed for a couple of minutes until they start to brown. Add the garlic and thyme, and give the mushrooms a toss.
  5. 5. Continue to cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Most of the moisture from the mushrooms should evaporate, and the mushrooms should be golden brown. Add a splash of wine to deglaze the pan. Once the wine evaporates, season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. 6. In a food processor, pulse half the mushrooms until coarsely chopped. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of olive oil.
  7. 7. Unfold the sheet of puff pastry onto a sheet of parchment paper. Leaving a ½-inch border, spread the chopped mushroom mixture evenly across the top of the pastry. Top with cheese, then add the remaining whole mushrooms and shallots on top of the cheese.
  8. 8. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes, or until pastry is crispy and golden. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

  • First artichokes of spring. Or maybe they're just early because it sure feels like winter. ⛄️#artichokes #farmersmarket #mercury #sienna #babyanzio #sardegna
  • Understand, I’ll slip quietly
away from the noisy crowd
when I see the pale
stars rising, blooming, over the oaks. --
I’ll pursue solitary pathways
through the pale twilit meadows,
with only this one dream:
--
You come too.” --
RAINER MARIA RILKE, ‘Pathways’

  • There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
--
There Will Come Soft Rains by Sara Tisdale.

This poem was first published in the July 1918 issue of Harper's Magazine and speaks to the natural world reclaiming a battlefield. We thought it paired nicely with the 2017 Raft Syrah, Weed Farms, because this vineyard shares the land with Grape Creek, a tributary of Dry Creek, which feeds into the Russian River. In recent years, endangered coho salmon have returned (or maybe reclaimed is a better description?) to Grape Creek, using it as safe passage for spawning. #raftwines are produced by @duckdaughterjj

  • Lovely radicchios 💜 from @dirtygirlproduce at the @cuesa farmers market. We tossed them with a simple green olive vinaigrette (castelveltranos + parmesan) inspired by a recipe from our pal @mollywatsonaf #radicchio #castelvetranoolives #parmesan #wintersalad #bittergreens #farmersmarket
  • Maiden voyage to the farmers market with our new @millielottietotes bag. Pretty much the best bag ever for loading up on fresh produce at the market. Comes with a cutting board that also flattens out the bottom of the bag, which really opens it up to let you fill in all your goods without them getting squished. 👌 And long leather handles loop over your shoulder for easy carrying. 💪 #farmersmarket #marketbag #fennel #satsumamandarin #watermelonradish #broccoli
