Balsamic-Roasted Exotic Mushrooms with a White Truffle Olive Oil Glaze
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. I ordered this dish at a restaurant in town. It was so good I said, “I have to figure out how to make this myself!” It was that wonderful.
Servings: Serves 6 – 8 as a “little plate,” appetizer or side dish
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of a variety of mushrooms cleaned and trimmed. I use lots of creminis cut in half and then add some shitakes and chanterelles. You can even make this with regular button mushrooms.
- 1 cup of a good, aged balsamic vinegar. You don’t have to get the really expensive stuff; just a good one.
- 1 cup of water
- 3 Tbl of white truffle infused balsamic vinegar (get this from a gourmet specialty store or online)
- 2 Tbl of extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
You’ll need your 9″ x 13″ pan. Put the mushrooms in. The is a real pile of mushrooms. Don’t worry they’ll shrink during the roasting process and be half this size when you’re done. Roast the mushrooms with the first vinegar and the water at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Open the oven and stir the mushrooms. Roast for 15 minutes more. Now pour off most of the liquid that has accumulated in the bottom of the pan. Leave just enough so the pan has moisture on the bottom. Roast for 15 – 30 minutes more. Don’t let the mushrooms completely dry out. Drizzle the white truffle vinegar and the olive oil over the mushrooms, stir and serve.
If you want to serve later you can. Just reheat the mushrooms and then drizzle before serving.
Enjoy!
Cheers,

The other day, potato pancakes came to mind and I they could probably be made with cauliflower. Turns out they can!

Things like peppers are popular at Italian little plates restaurants. I’m offering you a recipe for mine here. Mine have a bit of an after-burner kick to them.

This is a wonderful potato casserole from the southeast part of France. Works great on a buffet too if you like room temp potatoes or have a chafing dish. For the LOWEST glycemic index, make this…
