Wild Mushroom Tarte Tatin
Apr 04, 2023
Wild mushrooms have such an amazing flavor — there are countless ways you can use them. I am currently on a Puff Pastry kick so I decided to make a savory version of Tarte Tatin using some amazing Shiitake Mushrooms I grew from a fruiting block sent to me by North Spore Mushrooms.
I’ll be honest: I’ve never had such perfect Shiitakes before — they are meaty, fruity, and I can pick them whenever I want! I’m growing them at home! So, I had about 4 that were ready for picking and that became the basis of my dish. Warning: this recipe is decadent and you may become addicted to this combo!
I was lucky enough to also get some beautiful oyster mushrooms and a great little clump of Maitakes. Although I got these at a local farm stand, North Spore also sells fruiting kits for these little friends, too!
My final mushroom was a Portobello. Be sure you scrape the dark gills from the underside of the mushroom or your whole sauté will end up murky! A quick sauté of these beautiful mushrooms, made fragrant with shallots, garlic and rosemary and it’s ready to be topped with a circle of puff pastry.
Once it bakes up, you carefully invert the skillet or sauté pan onto a plate so the pastry is on the bottom with the mushroom “filling” on top. Drizzle a little truffle oil on top along with freshly cracked black pepper.
And the final glorious touch — it’s optional but it certainly lends another dimension to the dish — is a creamy Parmesan Anglaise, essentially a sauce of reduced heavy cream, cheese and fortified with an egg yolk. This provides an additional level of flavor and texture and is perfect to sop up with crispy pastry shards.
I hope I’ve inspired you to give it a try — not just the dish, but perhaps even growing your own shroomies! Give North Spore a try, you won’t be disappointed. Click this link and use the code SHIPBOARDCHEF for 10% off your order!
