Roasted Maitake Mushroom with Tamari and Preserved Lemon Glaze

Serves Serves 2

Ingredients

Tamari Glaze:
1/4 cup Kikkoman® Tamari
1 tablespoon preserved lemon puree
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons agave
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup sunflower oil

Mushrooms:
1 lb. large, whole maitake mushrooms clusters
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Garnish:
1/4 cup Kikkoman® Panko Bread Crumbs (traditional or gluten-free) fried in 2 teaspoons sunflower oil until golden
Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Place all glaze ingredients in blender except for sunflower oil and blend on high. Drizzle in the sunflower oil until the mixture becomes emulsified.
  2. To prepare mushrooms, heat a large sauté pan or griddle to high. Add 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and heat until it ripples; lay the whole maitake clusters in pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. With a spatula flip the mushrooms over. Sprinkle with garlic, pepper and salt and reduce heat slightly; continue to sear without moving the mushroom for about 4 to 5 minutes
  4. Flip the mushroom again. Once the mushroom has started to shrink and turn golden brown, pour about 1/4 cup of the glaze evenly over the top. Let the glaze caramelize on the mushroom for about 1 minutes then flip it one more time; cook for 1 minute more to caramelize on the other side, being careful to not let the glaze burn. Remove the mushroom early if necessary.
  5. Serve immediately garnished with fried panko breadcrumbs and chopped parsley. Serve with colorful seasonal vegetable puree (such as roasted carrot puree) and a drizzle of the Tamari glaze.
