    Wild Mushroom Collard Green Bundles

    November 20, 2016 by Debbie 2 Comments

    Thanksgiving is by far the favorite holiday in the Farinella house! Having our 3 girls all home, means the most!

    Little bundles of greens wrapped around a savory mushroom filling. So delicious and perfect for any buffet. Make a double batch for leftovers!

    Phil and I have hosted it every year since probably 1991. In our first little home with our little kitchen and our 2 burner (yes two!) electric stove, I actually pulled it off! Thanksgiving dinner for more than 15 people! Our family has grown since, and so has everyone else's, and thank goodness we have moved on to bigger digs, enabling us to host 35 or more now, and it’s the best!

    Loving the dishes we had growing up, we wouldn't want to change a thing. All 3 of my sisters know the rules, bring your "designated dish!" We know it'll be delicious, because we were taught by our mom! But always liking a little variety, I also try something new each year.

    Don’t get me wrong! It’s not a replacement of one of our traditional family dishes, it’s just a little something I may have come across in one of my favorite cooking magazines or cookbooks. Well my friends, back in November of 2008, Gourmet magazine shared a recipe that has been a part of our Thanksgiving “spread” ever since! Wild Mushroom Bundles. The mushrooms sautéed in white wine with shallots and garlic make for an amazing filler, all wrapped up in perfect collard green “packages"! Absolutely delicious!

    I always double the recipe, because after all, I’ll want some with my leftovers! These can be one of those Gr8 make ahead dishes, giving you plenty of time for everything else that needs your attention that day.

    I am already counting down the days to that favorite holiday of ours. I love every minute, plate and aroma of that 4th Thursday in November!

    Wild Mushroom Collard Green Bundles

    Recipe from Shelley Wiseman, Gourmet magazine November 2008
    Servings: 8 bundles
    Author: Debbie

    Ingredients

    • 8 leaves large collard, stems and thick portion of center ribs removed
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    • 2 Tablespoons minced shallot
    • Salt and pepper
    • ½ cup dry white wine
    • 1 pound mixed fresh wild mushrooms, such as chanterelle, oyster, and cremini, trimmed and cut into wedges (6 cups)
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the collard greens for 6 to 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
    • Add 2 cups of ice cubes and water to cover to a large bowl. Let ice melt slightly.
    • Transfer cooked collard greens to ice water to stop cooking.
    • Place several paper towels on a flat surface.
    • Carefully, without tearing, spread the greens onto the paper towels, “good side” down. If leaves are smaller or torn, it’s okay to overlap slightly. Pat each leaf dry. (If the leaves are extra tender, thin and clinging to each other, I use the smaller pieces as a "bandage" to create my own "full" leaf!
    • Combine garlic, 4 tablespoons of butter, shallots, ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper in a medium skillet. Add wine. Bring to a boil
    • Add mushrooms.
    • Over medium heat, cover and let cook, stirring occasionally for 12 minutes or until tender.
    • Spread some softened butter on the bottom and sides of a 2-quart ceramic or glass baking dish, preferably shallow.
    • Strain mushroom juices back into baking dish, reserving mushrooms.
    • Preheat oven to 450°F with rack on the second to last level.
    • To assemble bundles, spoon a ¼ cup mushrooms onto the middle of each collard green leaf.
    • Fold up each side and then roll each into a small “package,” completely enclosing the mushroom filling. Keeping in one layer, place seam side down, in prepared baking dish.
    • Add little bits of remaining Tablespoon of butter evenly over the bundles.
    • Heat in oven until mushroom filling is heated through and juices are simmering, 15-20 minutes.

    Notes

    Gr8 Tip:

    If you are planning to make these the day before, assemble the bundles and arrange in the baking dish. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before heating.

      They're one of my favorites that day...and if we're lucky enough to have leftovers...even better! The mushrooms and white wine are the perfect filler in those tender collard bundles of goodness! Thanks Lon!
