Portabella Au Poivre
Use the same or complimentary seasonings flavors in accompanying side to go with this recipe. Serve each mushroom cap whole or slice on a slight diagonal, about ½-inch thick, or as thick or thin as you’d like.
2 organic portabella mushroom caps
For the Mariande:
2 tablespoons nama shoyu [or 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1 tablespoon filtered water]
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons flax seed oil or extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
2 fresh thyme stems with leaves
For the Poivre or Pepper Crust Mixture:
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
½ teaspoon freshly ground multi-colored peppercorns
1 teaspoon organic white truffle oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 small garlic clove, peeled and minced
Pinch of Provence culinary lavender
Whisk together marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place the mushroom caps in a ziplock plastic bag, pour in the marinade, and allow to it marinade for 2 hours.Meanwhile, prepare pepper crust by first using your knife to mince and mash together the salt, garlic clove, and lavender so that it forms a coarse paste. Put it in a small bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients. Set aside.
Remove the mushroom caps from the bag (reserve the marinade), and place on a Teflex lined dehydrator tray. Divide the peppercorn mixture among each portabella, using your fingers and pressing gently to evenly coat the tops of the caps. Pour the reserved marinade into a small bowl and place at the bottom of a dehydrator.
Place the mushrooms in the dehydrator at 115 degrees for 3 to 4 hours. Halfway through cooking time, transfer the mushroom caps from the Teflex sheet onto a mesh tray, and return to dehydrate until done.Remove both mushrooms and marinde from dehydrator. Serve mushrooms. Spoon reserved marinate onto the mushrooms.
Any variety of vegetable – asparagus, broccoli, broccoli rabe, carrots, cauliflower, or green leafy vegetables – would make great side dish choices. Keep the flavor of the side dish mild to offset the punchy pepper flavor of Portabella Au Poivre. I choice a simple spinach salad with grape tomatoes and julienned carrots mixed with a dressing made of drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of sea salt.
