What's for dinner tonight ?

[Chasin' Dreams]

It's wild mushroom season here on the west coast so thought I'd make some west coast wild caught spot prawn and west coast wild picked mushroom fettuccine. Oyster, Chanterelle, and Porcine mushrooms, shallots and garlic are simmered in butter and wine until the alcohol is boiled out then cream, herbs/spices, homemade apple bacon, and mushroom is added to the sauce then just before serving the reggiano Romano and parmigiano reggiano are added to the sauce. Prawn shells are simmered in the sauce for awhile to add some ocean flavor to the sauce then removed before adding the other ingredients in.

I'm cold smoking some Porcini mushrooms today for wild mushroom Risotto and also making a batch of cream of wild mushroom soup today.

Mushroom overload lol

Hit a patch of some real beauty culinary and medicinal shrooms yesterday.

How long a smoke on that? I like the nice dark color

6 hours
Key is 4 times the brown sugar to salt and air dry for 10-12 hours before smoking.

I use more like 8 times the brown sugar.

 

[Bent-Tip]

I'm way more sugar than salt too! And less brine time.

Dear lord I need to smoke some salmon. I brine at least 2 batches at a time. A candy type with brown Sunland maple syrup. And a recipe like Scott that is 4 to 1. Truly a guy needs variety in. Sometimes that salty less sugar, buttery smoked salmon is needed.

Then there are those times where the sweet/salty, Indian candy will only do. It's like the kettle corn of popcorn of smoked fish......

I decided next weekend I am smoking some marble & white Chinooks I caught at the Grenn Can in Cambel River. 2 batches. I will post it.

I've got 5 people to cook for in our house and not everybody eats the same stuff lol. One of my daughters only eats seafood and veggies, other daughter doesn't eat mushrooms but most other stuff, wife doesn't eat seafood, daughters boyfriend eats anything and I eat anything lol. So prepping and cooking supper takes a long time to make everyone happy. Made some of us rib steak with roasted maple glazed carrots, wild mushroom Risotto and wild mushroom soup while one daughter had the same without the mushrooms, and other daughter had Panko crusted Ling Cod instead of the rib steak. Accompanying the entree's was a caesar salad with homemade dressing and home made focaccia croutons for the salad and the mushroom soup.

Ingredients for the homemade wild mushroom soup. Chanterelles, Porcini mushrooms, olive oil, white wine, sweet onion, heavy cream, salt, pepper, rib bones from a standing rib roast that I fire roasted before adding to the broth, butter, parmigiano regiano cheese, carrot, leek, parsley, basil, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic.

Wine pairing was an Italian Pinot Grigio
