Kitchen Confidence Rating Scale:

Budget Rating Scale:

Yields1 Serving
 5 oz mushrooms, stems removed and sliced thin
 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
 Pinch of sea salt
 1 teaspoon sherry wine
 Aïoli/Garlic Mayonnaise:
 2 small cloves garlic, mashed with ½ teaspoon of salt
 3 egg yolks, at room temperature
 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
 1 tablespoon warm water
 ½ teaspoon sea salt
 French bread, sliced into rounds
1

Heat the olive oil, when the oil is hot, add mushrooms, salt and sherry.

2

Cover, lower heat, cook until liquid is released from the mushrooms (about 10 minutes) and then drain and set aside.

3

Slice and toast bread slightly, just to dry it out a bit.

4

Whip up garlic mayonnaise (alioli) – Mix egg yolks with mashed garlic and salt. Let rest for 5 minutes. Stirring constantly, add olive oil VERY SLOWLY at first. After about half the oil has been incorporated and the mixture is thickening, thin it out with the vinegar. Continue adding olive oil, beating until a fairly thick emulsion is formed. Aïoli is thicker than traditional mayonnaise. Add a tablespoon of warm water at the end if a thinner emulsion is preferred. Add salt to taste.

5

Spread the alioli on the tostadas and top with mushrooms. Broil for about 30 seconds or until alioli starts to bubble.

Budget Rating Scale:

We’ve designed a handy budget rating scale for you to guide you (and your wallet) through the recipes. Recipes are graded from the ‘high-end caviar-type budget’ to the ‘lower-end spam canned meat type-budget’.
= Spam (aka low budget)
= Mac ‘n Cheese (aka mid budget)
= Filet Mignon (aka higher budget)
= Caviar (aka expensive…but you’re worth it!)
