This is actually a Bobbly Flay recipe that I stumbled upon on GroupRecipes.com.
It’s a wonderful mix of earthy, spicy, and rich flavors and it’s quite simple to make. If you’re short on time or don’t have a blender, buy some chili oil at the store which will work just as well as making your own.
- 8 cups mushrooms (I used cremini, oyster, shitake, and hen of the woods), stems removed and cut into sizeable pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
- 1/2 cup chile oil, recipe follows or use store bought
- 8 ounces goat cheese, cut into 8 slices
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
Chile oil:
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 ounces dried New Mexico peppers
- 1 ounce dried arbol chile powder
- 2 tablespoons ancho powder (or regular chili powder works fine if you can’t find arbol or ancho, like me)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place all chili oil ingredients in a blender and puree. Strain mixture through a fine strainer. Reserve. This may be done up to one day in advance.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mushrooms with the olive oil, and shallots, then season with salt and black pepper.
- Arrange the mushrooms evenly in one layer in a heavy roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes or until tender. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of chile oil and top with the slices of cheese. Bake until hot, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish with thyme, and drizzle with the remaining chile oil. Serve with lots of crusty French bread or as a side dish.

I love mushroom. Definitely I will try this recipe. Thanks.
Sounds delicious!
This is a great recipe considering that I’ve just stumbled upon a few articles touting Catalunya’s incredible wild mushroom selection as a result of rain we’ve had over the past two months. Fabulous timing Erika, thanks!
Glad to hear it, Gabriella. Please let me know what kind of interesting ones you find and use!
