Grilled Vegetable Rice Noodle Slaw
Tune in below and listen to Chef Caprial Pence as she discusses her recipe for Grilled Vegetable Rice Noodle slaw
Description: | Morels take on a savory, smoky and crispy edge in this simple recipe from
Martini House's chef, Todd Humphries. Meatier mushrooms, such as portobellos,
will have a slightly chewier consistency. This dish makes a great finger-food
hors d'oeuvre. Wine recommendations: When serving the morels as predinner nibbles, it makes sense to serve them with sparkling wine, a dry rosé, or a rich, barrel-fermented Chardonnay. |

Number of Servings: | Serves 4 as an appetizer or first course. |
Ingredients: | * 8 ounces fresh morels * 1/4 cup melted butter * 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil * Kosher salt to taste * Fresh ground pepper to taste * 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice * 8 ounces arugula leaves |
Directions: | Trim and discard stems from the morels. In a large bowl, toss the morels
with the melted butter and the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to
taste. Place the morels in a grilling basket or on metal skewers. (If using
wooden skewers, remember to soak the skewers in water first, or they may burn.)
Over a hot charcoal grill or wood fire, grill the mushrooms, turning occasionally, until they are crispy, about 5 to 8 minutes. While the mushrooms are cooking, collect a few ounces of their juices by holding the grilling basket or skewers over a bowl for drippings. Combine the lemon juice with the mushroom juice. Toss the arugula in the mushroom/ lemon juice mix. Arrange the mushrooms on a serving plate and garnish with the arugula. |
