Mushroom Consomme Recipe

Mushroom Consomme Recipe

Ingredients:

• 200 gm shiitake mushroom
• 5 gm garlic
• 1 cup water
• black pepper as required
• 20 gm onion
• 3 egg whites
• salt as required
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Recipe :

• Step 1 Chop mushroom and cook

  Chop mushroom and soak in water and set aside. In the meantime, take a saucepan, add oil and sauté chopped garlic and onion. Now, add chopped mushroom to this until the mushroom caramelizes. Add the mushroom water to this and simmer. After 3-5 minutes strain the liquid and set it aside.

• Step 2 Cook egg whites and water

  In a mixing bowl, beat water and egg whites and gradually add mushroom broth set aside in step 1. Pour this mixture into a saucepan and cook on moderate heat. When the egg whites have mounted to the surface in a frothy "cap", gently move the saucepan to the side so that the edge of the liquid is barely bubbling.

• Step 3 Strain on cheesecloth and allow it to set

  Now, line a wide strainer with a triple layer of cotton cheesecloth. Place the strainer over a saucepot. Now, carefully ladle stock and egg white cap into a cheesecloth, make sure not to disturb the egg white cap. Towards the end of straining, gently lift the cheesecloth, so that liquid can drain through an unused section of it. Allow the egg whites to sit over a saucepan for 5-10 minutes.

• Step 4 Garnish and serve

  Your Mushroom Consomme is ready to eat. Adjust seasoning to your taste. Garnish with grated raw mushroom slices and serve.
