Prepare Mushrooms
If you have any mushrooms that are especially dirty use a pastry brush to dust off any dirt. Do not wash mushrooms as they quickly become waterlogged.
Place the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse 3 times. Do not over mix these as it is unnecessary. The mushrooms should resemble a rough chop.
-
Heat and Cover
In a heavy bottom stock pot place all the mushrooms (stems and all), thyme, rosemary, sage, and 20g of salt.
Cover and place over low heat.The mushrooms will quickly start to release their liquid. You do not need any oil for this, the salt and heat will do all the work.Allow the mixture to cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes to check the progress of the mushroom jus.
-
Pour and Strain Mushroom Jus
Pour the mushrooms into a large 250 micron superbag. Allow it to strain for 20 minutes when it cools.Squeeze the bag to draw as much liquid out of the mushrooms as possible.Measure 600g (21oz) of strained mushroom jus and allow it to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
-
Create Mushroom Foam
Whisk together the mushroom jus, foam magic.Place the mixture in a 2 quart container and use the magic air maker to create foam. Refrigerate until needed.
-
Serve
It’s a good idea to serve the foam table side or right before serving as any fat can pop the bubbles in the foam.This sauce pares great with our Spring Pea Risotto recipe. Over time the foam should melt into the risotto.
