Baked squirrel bread, spinach coulis with garlic, hazelnut

ingredients for 4 persons :

  • 4 large king oyster mushrooms (eryngii)
  • Olive oil
  • 60 g fresh spinach
  • Clove of fresh garlic
  • 1 shallot
  • 40 g hazelnut
  • Cress of your choice
  • Black pepper, sea salt

Cut slices (nuts) from the stems of the mushrooms, visually like a Jacob's nut. Cut the remaining mushrooms into a small brunoise.
Peel and finely chop the shallot. Sauté this with the mushroom brunoise and season with salt and pepper.
We save a few spinach leaves for later. We briefly stew the rest of the spinach leaves in a splash of water and then mix with the clove of garlic and a splash of olive oil to create a green coulis.
We chop the spinach leaves and hazelnuts very fine.
We now fry the mushroom nuts in some olive oil so that they are nicely coloured on both sides and seasoned with pepper and salt.
On each plate, we spoon some sauce, next to it the stewed mushroom mix. On top of the sauce, we place fried mushrooms side by side.
Finish with fine spinach and hazelnut, as well as the cress.
