Mushroom Preparation

Whipped Ricotta

Fried Sage

Method

Mushroom Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Maitake Mushrooms

    Clean the maitake mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Cut them into smaller pieces if they are large.

  2. 2

    Season and Grill

    In a bowl, combine the mushrooms with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Toss until well coated. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

Whipped Ricotta

  1. 3

    Blend the Ricotta

    In a food processor, add the ricotta cheese, grated pecorino cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Fried Sage

  1. 4

    Fry the Sage Leaves

    In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and fry for about 1-2 minutes until they are crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, spread a generous dollop of the whipped ricotta. Arrange the grilled maitake mushrooms on top and garnish with the fried sage leaves. Drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired, and serve immediately.
