Russian Mushroom Caviar
Description
This Russian Mushroom Caviar recipe starts with quartered mushrooms, sliced onions, and slightly crushed garlic cloves roasted with a sauce of Dijon mustard, olive oil, and white wine vinegar. Roasting softens the vegetables and blooms their flavors before blending them into a coarse, caviar-like consistency.The spread combines earthy mushroom depth with pungent garlic and tang from the vinegar and mustard. Chopping with a blender or tupperware chopper leaves a textured paste suitable for spreading.
Traditionally, it is served over rye bread, crackers, or Russian pancakes, often garnished with chopped chives for a mild onion note. This savory topping suits snack times or appetizer platters.
You can store mushroom caviar in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to one week, making it convenient for preparing ahead or enjoying as leftovers.
