Creamy Mushrooms and greens on Toast

by 2 Comments

MushroomToast-4-2Classic combo of creamy mushrooms, garlic and parsley piled onto toast. On the table in 10 minutes!

Mushrooms on toast are usually a classic British dish. It is usually served for breakfast or evening snack with tea or even for a light supper. I love this recipe because of its simplicity, just sautéed mushrooms with some parsley and dumped over on toasted bread.  Many skip onion/shallots to it. But I wanted to make it simple and perfect and want to feel the taste of the beautiful mushrooms with shallots. Mushrooms cooked for around 7 minutes so they release their juices and then cooked with cream and parsley, when placed over the toast it absorbs the delicious mushroom juices.

I made this on a weekend for me and I was totally happy with a glass of juice and some fruits! It is perfect for breakfast or brunch. Simple and I was totally satisfied.  As I always mention, mushrooms with garlic and butter is so perfect! They are made for each other 😀 I am not a great mushroom lover. But when I just toss them with garlic and butter, I can have the whole bowl. 😀 that garlic and butter is a deadly combination to mushroom. It elevates the mushroom taste. So I add them to my quesadilla, curries, white curry, tacos, pasta, pizza and everything now. I just had the whole plate 🙂 and made another toast and had one more! It was so tasty!!! I am sure kids would love this 🙂 and as a grown kid 😀 we ourselves would just drool when we see the end result! The best thing about this recipe is mushroom topping can be made several hours even overnight and refrigerated. When you’re ready to serve, reheat the mushrooms over low heat and top on the toast and serve.

Vegan Note: Use vegan creams made from soy milk, use the cashew cheese instead of normal cheese and avoid the butter!

I used spaghetti but you can use any kind of pasta you fancy. And you can also use whole wheat or any kind 🙂 it is going to be yum. And you can always use any kind of mushrooms for this. Sometimes I add wine to my sauce, it gives surely a unique taste ;). And I mostly add spinach to it. But this time, I wanted to make something quick and wanted to make something with few ingredients that is available.

You wont be able to stop yourself from this scrumptious cream mushroom pasta.  The best part in this is that it is so quick and easy to make. I would say one of the best weekday dinner recipes. You can add some sauted chicken to it if you want to. The best thing about pasta is that you can create your own recipe with your favorite ingredients.

 

Most recipes of pasta, I add cheese to it but this was so good and creamy that I felt it is not necessary. But if you want you can add some goat cheese or parmesan cheese.

Mushroom Tofu Veggie Potstickers with Chili Hoisin Ginger sauce

by 7 Comments

Exotic chinese dumplings for appetizer or dinner – pack them with any filling of your choice, pan fry,steam, freeze or eat fresh! 

Dumplings-18

I have never had homemade potstickers before. I have had it once in a restaurant but I always loved to have it. It is just that it is so hard to find a pure vegetarian one at a restaurant here. So, I made these homemade potstickers for me. The best thing about potstickers is that it is so easy to customize the fillings as you fancy. I have heard pork and shrimp dumplings are great to taste. I might make some next week and post recipe for that. But now it is my customized fillings time 🙂 You can add your veggies that is available at your house. These mushrooms gives an earthy flavor. The filling here is an even mixture of mushrooms, tofu, shredded carrots and cabbage.

Dumplings-22

It is also great to make homemade potstickers, because you can make a huge badge of them and pop them right in the freezer in a zip lock. That way you can indulge these delicious beauties whenever you want! I have made a note how to freeze them for future use. You know it is homemade, fresh and great to prepare them on a weekday when you are tired but still want to eat something delicious with your favorite fillings.

Dumplings-19

Dumpling4.jpg

By this method of cooking, I made them with  maximum crispy crunchy surface.

How to froze potstickers:

Prepare the potstickers with filling and place them on a baking sheet for 10-15 minutes outside. Now place the baking sheet in freezer for 4-5 hours. Now throw them into a freezer bag. When you are ready to eat, just toss them into an oil greased skillet.  It might take little longer to cook than usual (may be 3-4 minutes more) because it’s frozen. Do not try to defrost them and then cook. It is not the best idea. But trust me, the taste is going to be same. You can store them for a month for sure and it is still going to be yum!

How to fill and fold the potstickers:

The filled dumplings should form a slight crescent shape. You can fold in anyways. Do not fret if you don’t get it 🙂 or try two to three times more! 🙂

When you are ready with the filling, you can get ready to assemble the dumplings:

  1. Defrost the wonton/dumpling wrappers overnight in fridge or defrost by keeping them outside for 2-3 hours. I kept them outside for an hour and then just microwaved them for 20 seconds. (Don’t do it more).
  2. Separate them and keep them on a baking sheet or tile.
  3. Wet the edge which will help seal the edges.
  4. Add a tsp of filling.
  5. Fold in half with no air gaps inside.( like half moon)
  6. You can just use them like this or pick some shapes to do like below. 
  7. The method below: Start pleating from right to left side of the dumpling and pinch it. 
  8. Or pinch the center together. Starting from the center,make 3 pleats to the right side of the dumpling. Repeat with the left side of the dumpling so that all the pleats point together towards the center.

Mushroom Biryani

Mushroom Biryani-7

A plate full of hot, fragrant rice and mushroom cooked with crispy onions and spiced yoghurt sauce.

I have already 5 Biryani recipes 🙂 which means you would have known by now that I love cooking Biryani. Many find it difficult but it is not and it is worth the time it takes. I am not saying this 😉 Just like that! Trust me! I remember when I first tried to cook biryani before 3 years I would always make the rice mushy so I never liked to do Biryani after it. I will motivate again myself to do it and tried. I somehow found the tricks after a first few times 🙂 Now I am sure a pro 😀 proudly would say that! Never failed 🙂 And I still love to get comments even I know that it is good 😀 Like today when I received a comment for my sambar 😉 I went all blushing! 😀 May be I got the comment to see me blush 😉 whatever..:)heart It is always that comments and love heartwhich makes me cook next time!

mushroomBiryani

To be honest, it does take time to cook biryani than many easy 10 minutes food. I even don’t like to post time consuming recipes but it is so tasty that I could not resist myself not posting it. The best thing about biryani is that it tastes great even the next day and the day after. It will save you from cooking for next three days and it will never be like you are tasting leftover food! Awesome right?

Mushroom Biryani-5

Biryani is one of the most favorite dishes. My mom has never cooked mushroom when I was a kid, so I used to be hesitant to eat or cook them. Then had it when I went out with friends and I found it tasty and no harm cooking them 🙂 . May be I will cook this for her sometime 🙂 and also I realized that I don’t have a lot of mushroom recipes somehow. I always add them to noodles and pastas but I don’t tend to make them on weekends 🙂 somehow and here is the mushroom Recipes that I have – Mushroom Pepper Mini Quesadilla, Malai Pepper Mushroom with some colourful mushrooms.

I have some good biryani collection recipes. 🙂 If you would like to view it – Restaurant style vegetable Biryani, Paneer Biryani, Hyderabadi Egg Biryani, Restaurant style Lamb Biryani, Prawn Biryani.

To make it vegan, skin the yogurt or replace with vegan yogurt. And also replace ghee with oil.

  6. Now after returning the skillet back to the stove, add the rice and salt and water. ( Quantity of water to be added is for one cup of rice , it is 1.5 cups of water). Mix well and close the lid tight and keep it in medium heat for 10 minutes. Now add the marinated fried onions and chopped mint for garnish and keep it in low for 5 minutes.
  7. Drizzle the saffron milk over the rice and Switch off, and keep it closed for another 5 minutes. They will help the rice to get the saffron flavors and vice versa.
