Grilled Porcini Mushrooms
Mushrooms contain a lot of vegetable protein, vitamin D and various B vitamins - so they can easily replace a meat meal. The bone-strengthening vitamin D is otherwise found mainly in animal products, so mushrooms are a good way for vegetarians to cover their needs.
Herb exchange: Instead of basil, parsley also works well. If you like it a little hotter, add freshly chopped red chili pepper to taste.

Ingredients
- Ingredients
- ½ sprig rosemary
- 1 ½ Tbsps olive oil
- salt
- peppers
- ½ small garlic clove
- 12 ozs Porcini mushroom
- 1 stalk Basil
- 2 Tbsps Sour cream
- 1 small Whole-grain baguette (about 10 oz)
- 1 pc pecorino romano (or aged Parmesan cheese, about 1/2 ounce)
Preparation steps
Rinse the rosemary, shake dry and strip off about ½ teaspoon needles.
Finely chop the rosemary. Mix with olive oil and 1 pinch each of salt and pepper. Peel and press the garlic through a garlic press into herb oil.
Gently wipe mushrooms if necessary with a damp cloth. Cut mushrooms lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices.
For the foam, pluck basil leaves (wipe clean rather than rinsing), set some small leaves aside for garnish and finely chop the rest.
Brush mushroom slices on both sides lightly with the herb oil.
Heat a grill pan. Grill the mushroom slices 4-5 minutes, turning once.
Meanwhile, mix the chopped basil with sour cream in a tall vessel. Puree with an immersion blender until slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper. Cut baguette into slices.
Place porcini on warmed plates. Shave Pecorino over porcini and drizzle with the basil foam. Garnish with basil leaves and serve with baguette slices.
