30 slices (1/2 inch/1 cm thick) baguette, toasted
Mushroom Spread:
6 dried shiitake mushrooms
3 cups (750 mL) roughly chopped white mushrooms (8 oz/250 g)
1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp (15 mL) minced shallots or onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp (5 mL) sweet paprika
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
1/4 cup (50 mL) dry sherry or vegetable stock
1 tbsp (15 mL) tomato paste
1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice
2 tbsp (25 mL) minced fresh parsley
Garnish:
2 hard-cooked eggs
Preparation:
Mushroom Spread: Soak shiitake mushrooms in 1 cup (250 mL) warm water until softened, about 1 hour. Drain, straining and reserving soaking liquid. Remove stems and chop caps finely; set aside.
In food processor, finely mince white mushrooms, scraping down side occasionally; set aside.
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry shiitake mushrooms, shallots and garlic until shiitakes are lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
Add white mushrooms, paprika and salt ; fry, stirring, until mushrooms begin to release liquid, about 1 minute. Stir in shii-take soaking liquid, sherry and tomato paste. Increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, until dry and pasty, about 14 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Transfer to bowl; let cool. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.) Mix in parsley. Spread about 2 tsp (10 mL) on each baguette slice.
Garnish: Separately mince egg yolks and whites; sprinkle white then yolk over mushroom mixture.
