Balsamic Mushrooms
- 30 white button mushrooms (Cremini or Baby Bella)
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Miso Mashed Potatoes
- 2 large russet potatoes, ideally, Idaho grown
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons white miso paste
- ⅓ cup finely chopped shallot
- 2 tablespoons half & half
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives
Balsamic Mushrooms
Preheat the oven to 375˚ F, and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Twist the mushroom stems to remove them, or use a paring knife. Reserve the stems for another use. Gently scrape the dark gills with the tip of a paring knife to remove as many of the gills as possible without damaging the mushrooms. They hold a lot of moisture. Turn the mushrooms upside down and gently tap, to allow the scrapings to fall out. Gently rub each mushroom with a towel to remove any dirt and debris. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Carefully toss the mushrooms in the dressing to completely coat, and place them upright on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, turning the mushrooms upside down halfway through.
Assembly
Scoop 1 tablespoon of miso potatoes into each mushroom cap (or whatever amount makes sense for the size of the caps). Keep warm in the oven on a low temperature, or in a warming drawer until serving.
Thinly slice some chives, and sprinkle a few over the tops of each mushroom cap just before serving.
