minutesIngredients
4” x 8” sheet of puff pastry, cut into 1” x 4” strips
1 tbsp of butter
1 shallot, finely diced
250g of wild mushrooms, cut in 1” long slices (I used chicken of the woods and cremini mushrooms)
1/2 tsp of celery salt
1/2 cup of white wine
1/2 tsp of Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup of heavy cream (35%)
Directions
- Preheat the oven at 400F. When hot, place the puff pastry on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes. (or follow the instructions on the package. I recommend checking the puff pastries at the half way point. Smaller puff pastry slices tend to cook faster)
- While the puff pastry is cooking, heat a skillet under medium. When hot, melt the butter and add the shallot. Cook until translucent, 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and the celery salt. Cook the mushrooms to sweat them and until they are lightly colored, 5 minutes.
- Add the wine, bring it to a boil and reduce it for 2 minutes. Add the dijon mustard, the Worscestershire sauce, and the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 2 minutes while constantly mixing. Add salt to taste.
- The mushroom dip is now done! Serve in small bowls topped with minced chives or freshly ground black pepper and the puff pastries.
SUBSTITUTIONS – Since we do not always have success when going outdoors or not everyone practices hunting, fishing or picking. here are a few ideas to substitute the harvested ingredients:
- The wild mushrooms can be replaced with most grocery bought fresh mushrooms. Example: mini Portobello, oyster mushrooms, to name a few.
- The wild mushrooms can be replaced with a grocery bought dehydrated mushroom mix (Costco and amazon have great ones!).
- Most wild mushrooms can be used for this recipe, However, I recommend mushrooms with a medium to strong taste such as chicken of the woods, lobster mushrooms, chanterelles, morels, boletes, to name a few.
