D is for Dinner: Mushrooms on toast, a la Riviera
An old, 1920s building on Sparks Street, once home to banks and most recently a stamp shop. It has huge ceilings, marble tile, lots of light -- and now, it's the home of Jordan Holley and Matt Carmichael's new restaurant, Riviera.
Click here to listen to Alan's visit to the restaurant.
Mushrooms on toast:
(Serves 4)
1 lbs selection of wild or cultivated mushrooms (they use chanterelle, oyster, lobster and shiitake)
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tbsp chopped tarragon
2 tbsp chopped Italian parsley
2 cups chicken stock
salt
2 tbsp shallot butter
Shallot butter:
2 tbsp brunoised shallot
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Combine in a small pot, cook over low heat until shallots are translucent
4 poached eggs
Shaved black truffle
4 slices brioche, toasted
Over medium-high heat, sautee mushrooms, starting with the shiitakes and lobster. Add oyster and chanterelles.
Add shallot butter, and deglaze with sherry.
Reduce sherry by approximately half, and add chicken stock. Reduce. Finish with unsalted butter, chopped tarragon, parsley and salt.
Using a slotted spoon, spoon mushrooms over toast, drizzling reduced sauce around toast (being careful not to get too much sauce on the toast).
Top with poached egg and shaved truffle.
