Mini mushroom tart with parmesan garnish
Serves: 2 Time: 40 min
Ingredients:
125 gr mushrooms, 8 g butter, 25 g dried breadcrumbs, 25 ml milk, 1 egg, 18g parmesan cheese, 1 shallot, salt and pepper to taste, oil as required.
Mousse ingredients: 125 g milk, 50 g parmesan cheese, 1 gelatine sheet, 8 g butter, 8 g flour, 100g whipped cream, salt and pepper to taste.
Steps:
Remove the head from the base of the porcini mushrooms, removing any dirt from the base sections. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth. Cut the head and base into julienne shapes. Fry in 4 spoons of extra virgin olive oil in 2 pans. Put the bases in one and the heads in the other. Lightly stir fry and then cook over a medium heat for 7-8 minutes. Mix the two parts and remove the garlic and leave to rest. Blend and check the seasoning. Let the cream cool and then mix with the eggs, parmesan and milk. After you have achieved a smooth and homogeneous blend, take some single-serve moulds, grease and dust with grated bread to create a crust so you can easily remove the mix from the mould when cooked. Cook at 180°. Pour the mix into the moulds. They should not be filled to the brim to prevent overflow during cooking. Place in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until the surface is golden. Make a simple light béchamel sauce. In the meantime soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water. Once softened, add it to the warm and mix along with the parmesan. Let cook. Mix the béchamel with the whipped cream using a silicone spoon and moving from the bottom to the top until you have a frothy mix.
