Ingredients

  • 2 cups assorted mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup light balsamic vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 2 large onions thinly sliced
  • Salt
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • Pinch of baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar optional
  • Fresh sage or thyme optional
  • 2 slices bread of your choice I like Sourdough Pullman
  • Several slices of a sharper cheese such as Swiss or muenster
  • 1 slice of smokey cheese optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine all Roasted Mushroom Conserva ingredients in 9x13 baking pan.
  • Roast in oven for 25-30 minutes.
  • Cut onions paper-thin and salt them (just like seasoning) for a few hours.
  • Squeeze out the moisture from the onions with paper towel and throw them in a pan with a thin coating of oil.
  • Add a pinch of baking soda and let them go for an hour, scraping them down and deglazing as they stick. When in a rush, add some brown sugar to wards the end to help finish off the caramelization process quicker.
  • Once onions are caramelized, mixed in herbs of choice, if you would like.
  • Blend the mushroom and caramelized onions together in a small bowl.
  • Spread the mixture onto two slices of bread and place cheese between the slices.
  • Smear mayo on the outside of the bread slices.
  • Use a panini grill, grilled cheese press or fry the sandwich in a saute pan over medium heat until browned and cheese is melted.
