Truffled Mushrooms Over Whipped White Beans
Serves 4
Recipe By: Riley
2 tablespoons Olive Oil -- divided
1 medium Leek -- white and pale green parts, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 can Cannellini Beans, Canned -- rinsed and drained
1/2 cup Low Sodium Vegetable Broth -- Chicken broth is good
but not very veggie.
2 clove Garlic -- minced
1 teaspoons Fresh Savory -- chopped
1 teaspoons Fresh Tarragon -- chopped
2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme -- chopped
1 pounds Mushrooms -- wild, halved
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley -- chopped
2 teaspoonsTruffle Oil
Heat about a teaspoon of oil in a 3 qt or so sauce pan over medium heat.
Add leek and saute 2 minutes. Stir in beans, broth, garlic and herbs.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes. Season with salt and
pepper. Blend with immersion mixer (or blender) until smooth and fluffy.
Cover and keep warm. Heat another 1 tsp oil in a large skillet over high
heat. Add mushrooms in small batches and saute until soft and brown. Move
to outside edges. Add more mushrooms and oil as needed and repeat until
all mushrooms are soft and brown. Season with salt and pepper, and stir
in parsley. Spoon whipped bean mixture into shallow bowls. Top with equal
portions of mushrooms. Drizzle each serving with truffle oil, and serve.
Recipe Notes
We didn't have any wild mushrooms so used portabellas and shiitakes.
Chicken broth was used instead of vegetable broth, and I had more herbs
on hand (savory and tarragon) then just thyme. I didn't see the need to
use a large skillet for the beans--a saucepan made more sense, and better
lends itself to the use of an immersion blender. A large skillet, rather
than a medium, was used for sauteing the mushrooms, in batches, not all
at once. Which called for a little more olive oil. All in all it was easy
and fast. The flavor of the truffle oil really enhanced the mushrooms and
beans. It was very good the next day reheated in the nuke. Worth doing
again. The NI matches fairly well with what was reported after entering
my own info in for Trader Joe's Cannellini White Kidney Beans. MC's was a
bit off on this one. Riley
