Mushrooms

Garlic Chilli Oil

Amontillado Sherry Reduction

Garlic Chips

Poached Egg Yolk

Method

Preparation of Garlic Chilli Oil

  1. 1

    Make Garlic Chilli Oil

    In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Add 6 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of dried red chilli flakes. Cook until the garlic is golden brown. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Cooking the Mushrooms

  1. 2

    Grill the Mushrooms

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the trumpet royale mushrooms with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred. Baste with garlic chilli oil while grilling.

Making the Sherry Reduction

  1. 3

    Prepare Amontillado Sherry Reduction

    In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of Amontillado sherry to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until melted and combined.

Frying Garlic Chips

  1. 4

    Prepare Garlic Chips

    Thinly slice 2 garlic cloves. Heat oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Fry the garlic slices until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.

Poaching the Eggs

  1. 5

    Poach the Egg Yolks

    Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3 minutes until the yolk is set but runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Plating

  1. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, place the grilled trumpet royale mushrooms. Drizzle with the Amontillado sherry reduction, top with fried garlic chips, and carefully place a poached egg yolk on top.
