Sautéed Pine mushrooms, pickled rye grains & goat curd

Almay Jordaan / Neighbourhood Wine, Serves 4

Ingredients

Mount Zero Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 large pine mushrooms
100g Mount Zero Biodynamic Rye Grains, cooked through (takes some time)
100ml Mount Zero Verjus
20g sugar
5g salt
2 garlic cloves, sliced paper thin
100g goat or sheep’s curd
Red elk or lamb’s lettuce leaves to finish

Method

Melt the sugar and salt into the vinegar, & mix with the grains. 

Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and slice into large pieces.

Gently fry the garlic in a large splash of Mt Zero Frantoio oil and add the mushrooms, seasoning them with some S&P as you cook. When mushrooms are just cooked through, add pickled grains and toss pan to combine with mushrooms. 

Spoon out onto a plate, and serve with curd and fresh leaves as a light salad or entrée.
