DaveSoMD GCC Mushroom Dinner
This was a challenge for me in more ways than just the mushrooms. Not only had I had not cooked with any of these types of mushrooms before (white button has been my staple), I also, for reason only understood by the deepest recesses of my sub-conscious, came up with recipe ideas with new things too. I had never made a cheesecake before and never worked with puff pastry.
I did do some research on the different mushrooms that I found were available here for me to work with. I have used what I think of as “woodsy herbs” (rosemary, thyme, oregano) with other dishes that had mushroom in them so I figured they would work with these also.
This is what I came up with as a meal, I hope you enjoy it.
The Menu:
Bloody Maria (cocktail)
Portobello Puff (appetizer)
Porcini Manicotti with Tomato Cream Sauce (entrée)
Oyster Mushroom Mascarpone Cheesecake (dessert)
