Grilled Trumpet Mushrooms with Garlic Butter

Flickering through the memories of summer barbecues, I find myself drawn to the simplicity and depth of grilled trumpet mushrooms. Their meaty texture, kissed by the smoky grill and enriched with garlic butter, transforms them into a dish that feels both rustic and refined.

Ingredients

• 1 lb trumpet mushrooms, cleaned and sliced lengthwise (their sturdy structure holds up beautifully on the grill)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (I always reach for unsalted to control the seasoning)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (freshly minced garlic makes all the difference here)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for its fruity notes)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt (a flaky sea salt adds a nice texture)
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (freshly ground for that pungent kick)

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for about 400°F. A well-heated grill ensures those perfect char marks.
2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Let it sit for 5 minutes to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
3. Brush the mushroom slices lightly with olive oil on both sides. This prevents sticking and helps achieve an even char.
4. Place the mushrooms on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they develop deep grill marks and become tender.
5. During the last minute of grilling, brush the mushrooms generously with the garlic butter mixture. The butter will sizzle and soak into the mushrooms, adding moisture and flavor.
6. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper while still warm.

How the mushrooms emerge from the grill is nothing short of magical—juicy, with a smoky depth and a buttery garlic finish. Serve them atop a slice of crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that flavorful butter, or alongside a crisp green salad for a light yet satisfying meal.

Trumpet Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan

Gently, as the evening light fades, I find myself drawn to the kitchen, where the earthy aroma of trumpet mushrooms promises a comforting meal. This risotto, with its creamy texture and sharp parmesan finish, feels like a hug in a bowl, perfect for these reflective moments.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Arborio rice – the short grains are essential for that classic risotto creaminess.
• 4 cups vegetable broth – I like to warm it slightly before adding, it helps the rice absorb it better.
• 1/2 cup dry white wine – a splash adds depth, and yes, it’s okay to sip the rest while cooking.
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese – freshly grated melts smoother, trust me.
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil – my go-to for its fruity notes.
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter – because butter makes everything better.
• 1/2 lb trumpet mushrooms, sliced – their meaty texture is unbeatable.
• 1 small onion, finely diced – the foundation of flavor.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced – for that punch of aroma.
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper – to season, but we’ll be specific about when.

Instructions

1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.
2. Add the diced onion and a pinch of salt, sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the garlic and sliced trumpet mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are golden, roughly 7 minutes.
4. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan; give the mushrooms space to brown properly.
5. Add the Arborio rice, stirring to coat each grain in the oil and butter, toasting slightly for 2 minutes.
6. Pour in the white wine, stirring constantly until fully absorbed.
7. Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next.
8. Tip: Keep the broth at a simmer in a separate pot to maintain consistent temperature.
9. After about 18 minutes, the rice should be al dente. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with black pepper.
10. Tip: Let the risotto rest for 2 minutes off the heat before serving to achieve the perfect consistency.

Kindly, the risotto settles into itself, the grains plump and separate yet bound by a velvety sauce. The trumpet mushrooms offer a subtle chew, a contrast to the creamy rice, while the Parmesan adds a salty sharpness. Serve it in shallow bowls, perhaps with a drizzle of truffle oil for an extra layer of luxury.

Sauteed Trumpet Mushrooms with Thyme

Amidst the quiet of the kitchen, the simple act of sautéing trumpet mushrooms with thyme becomes a moment of solace, a gentle reminder of the earth’s subtle flavors coming together in harmony.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for its fruity notes)

• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I love a generous twist)

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts and starts to foam, about 2 minutes. This combination ensures a flavorful base without burning.
2. Add the sliced trumpet mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to develop a golden crust.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme leaves, sautéing for another 2 minutes until fragrant. The garlic should just begin to turn golden, not brown.
4. Season with a pinch of salt and a twist of black pepper, tossing to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, but remember, the mushrooms’ natural umami shines with minimal interference.
5. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Perfectly sautéed, these trumpet mushrooms offer a delightful chewiness, with the thyme and garlic weaving through each bite. Serve them atop a creamy polenta or alongside a crisp green salad for a meal that feels both rustic and refined.

2. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over high heat, then add the rinsed wild rice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Tip: Resist the urge to stir the rice as it cooks to prevent it from becoming mushy.
3. While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
4. Add the sliced trumpet mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet to ensure the mushrooms brown nicely.

Pickled Trumpet Mushrooms with Herbs

Floating through the kitchen on a quiet afternoon, I found myself drawn to the earthy aroma of trumpet mushrooms, their delicate shapes begging to be preserved in a bath of vinegar and herbs. This recipe, a humble ode to the art of pickling, transforms these fungi into a tangy, herb-infused delight that whispers of summer gardens and leisurely meals.

– 1 lb fresh trumpet mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (their meaty texture holds up beautifully)
– 1 cup apple cider vinegar (for a slightly sweet, fruity tang)
– 1 cup water (filtered, to keep the flavors clean)
– 2 tbsp kosher salt (I find it dissolves more evenly than table salt)
– 1 tbsp sugar (just a hint to balance the acidity)
– 2 cloves garlic, smashed (because everything’s better with garlic)
– 1 sprig fresh thyme (its lemony notes are a perfect match)
– 1 bay leaf (for that subtle, woodsy depth)
– 1/2 tsp black peppercorns (a gentle heat that lingers)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, kosher salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the salt and sugar dissolve completely.
2. Add the smashed garlic cloves, thyme sprig, bay leaf, and black peppercorns to the boiling liquid. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to infuse the flavors.
3. Meanwhile, pack the sliced trumpet mushrooms tightly into a clean, quart-sized jar.
4. Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the mushrooms in the jar, ensuring they are completely submerged. A small fermentation weight can help keep them under the liquid.
5. Let the jar cool to room temperature before sealing with a lid. For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
6. Tip: Always use a clean jar to prevent any unwanted bacteria. Tip: The mushrooms will soften slightly as they pickle, but they should still retain a pleasant bite. Tip: Taste the pickling liquid before adding the mushrooms to adjust the seasoning if needed.
Overtime, these pickled trumpet mushrooms develop a deeper flavor, their earthy notes mingling with the sharpness of the vinegar and the fragrance of the herbs. Serve them atop a rustic piece of toast or as a vibrant addition to a cheese board, where their tangy crunch can truly shine.

Now, as the evening light fades, I find myself drawn to the kitchen, where the earthy aroma of trumpet mushrooms and the sweet, slow-cooked allure of caramelized onions promise a pizza unlike any other. It’s a dish that speaks of patience and the simple joy of combining a few good ingredients to create something truly comforting.

Ingredients

• 1 lb trumpet mushrooms, sliced (their meaty texture is perfect for this)
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced (I love the sweetness they develop)
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for its fruity notes)
• 1 pizza dough, store-bought or homemade (I often opt for whole wheat for a nuttier flavor)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (it melts so beautifully)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for that sharp, salty kick)
• 1 tsp salt (just enough to enhance the flavors)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground, if possible)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Tip: Lower the heat if they start to burn.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the trumpet mushrooms. Cook until they’re tender and slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet.
5. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the dough, followed by the mushrooms. Sprinkle both cheeses on top.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Tip: Rotate the pizza halfway through for even cooking.
7. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Tip: This helps the cheese set and makes slicing easier.

Unbelievably, the first bite reveals a symphony of textures—the crisp crust, the tender mushrooms, and the gooey cheese. Serve it with a light arugula salad to cut through the richness, or enjoy it as is, under the soft glow of kitchen lights.
