Celebrate harvest season with this abundant Autumn dish.
Ingredients:
  • 8 slices serrano ham (see note) or prosciutto
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 8 slices ciabatta or other rustic-style bread
  • 80g butter, chopped
  • 16 Swiss brown mushrooms, stalks trimmed to 1cm
  • 40.00 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 62.50 ml flat-leaf parsley leaves, torn
Instructions:
  • In a large ovenproof frying pan over medium heat, heat 2 teaspoons oil. Cook ham in 2 batches for 30 seconds on each side until crisp. Transfer the ham to a plate and set aside the pan.
  • Heat a chargrill pan over high heat. Mix 3 1/2 tablespoons of oil with garlic in a bowl. Brush both sides of bread with the garlic oil, then cook on the pan in 2 batches for 2 minutes on each side until golden and charred.
  • As the bread bakes, heat butter and the leftover oil in the pan over medium heat. Place mushrooms cap side down and cook for 5 minutes, spooning the butter mixture over them. Flip the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until tender. Finally, add vincotto and parsley, and toss the mushrooms until well coated.
  • Halve the bruschetta and quarter the ham slices. Layer each toast with ham, a mushroom, some pan-fresh parsley, and another slice of ham. Finish by drizzling the pan juices over the bruschetta before serving.
