MUSHROOM RAGU BRUSCHETTA


Bruschetta it is for Sunday's Foodie post. Are you planning a Brunch at home, and want to switch up things a bit. Then Bruschettas are a great choice. Personally, I am a bit biased for Bruschettas. I can have them for Brunch, Lunch , or Dinner. The flexibility it offers, in terms of the toppings you can serve it with, make it an obvious choice for me for parties. I can have a few different bathes of it to suit the tastes of my guests, and before I know it, we are receiving big hugs on how tasty they are.

Usually its the Man's ideas and his bruschettas which take centre stage. I am happy to take pictures of them and write about them and take mouthfuls of them, whenever he makes a new batch. I swear by his GRILLED LIVER BRUSCHETTA. Its so good that I always thought that its difficult to top that. But he just did that. The Man and his passion for cooking are really worth writing about. He wanted to a vegetarian version for all those Meatless Mondays. Mushroom Ragu Bruschetta is the new star of the show.


Great produce will always shine through. When he mentioned Mushrooms, I presumed it to be just some plain button mushrooms from the produce aisle. He corrected me and mentioned that it was a few varieties of mushrooms which went in the mix. Some luscious and creamy Fontina Cheese and a dash of rosemary. Not to forget the generous amount of garlic.

Don't be let down that the varieties of mushroom I wrote about are not available where you stay, or the time of year, when you read it. The beauty of this recipe is that, it can be made with any variety of mushrooms which might be available. The idea is to mix in a few types of mushrooms to add to the flavor profile. This Ragu can be an awesome showcase for wild mushrooms.

This was a crowd pleaser both for our weeknight dinners and for all the guests we served them too. Go ahead and give it a try. Am sure you will be getting a lot of hugs from all those you serve them too.
