Wild Mushroom Crostini

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 pounds of assorted mushrooms
  • 14 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 Fairway Pullman loaf
  • Fairway Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Fairway kosher salt
  • Fairway black pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Brush mushrooms clean with either a towel or a vegetable brush. (If you prefer to wash them, do so quickly under cold water, so they don’t absorb too much water, then dry them thoroughly.)
  2. Trim the mushrooms well, and cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
  3. Heat 8 tablespoons of Fairway Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a hot heavy pan.
  4. Add the mushrooms to the pan with the garlic (set a few aside for the grilled bread) and the thyme.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté the mushrooms for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are slightly soft. Then remove from heat, and set aside.
  6. Cut the Pullman into 4-inch squares, brush 8 pieces with a little olive oil, and grill separately in a grill pan while the mushrooms are cooking.
  7. When the bread is done, rub each slice with fresh garlic.
  8. Arrange the slices in the center of a warm plate, and cover them with the hot mushroom mixture, garlic cloves, and thyme.
  9. Drizzle some olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt on each slide.
