Instructions
Make the Black Garlic Sauce
Blend the vermouth, miso, black garlic, sesame oil, mustard, cream, ginger and rice vinegar until you have a smooth, creamy sauce. Blend on high for 5-10 seconds to incorporate the black garlic thoroughly, then use a spatula to scrape down the sides. Repeat two additional times until you have a nice milk-chocolate brown sauce
Taste and adjust the rice vinegar if you wish it to be more tart 1/2 teaspoon at a time. Place in an air-tight container and refrigerate up to a week
Finish Mushrooms with Black Garlic Sauce
Pre-heat the oven to 200. Warm a serving platter in the oven or microwave
Clean and prep the mushrooms. Use a salad spinner to remove as much water after rinsing as possible, then let them rest 15-30 minutes before cooking
Warm the garlic sauce in a small saucepan and keep warm on lowest heat. Stir occasionally
Place half the butter and olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until it is shimmering, then reduce the heat to medium low
Place the mushrooms in the skillet in batches, spreading them out to avoid overcrowding and saute them for 3-4 minutes, then season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Turn and stir them sparingly and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown
Remove with a slotted spatula, place them on a small baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until you have cooked all the mushrooms
Carefully remove the warm platter and prepare it for serving family style by spreading the garlic sauce on the bottom, then spread the mushrooms over the sauce
Garnish with the cheese, sweet pea tendrils and walnuts
