Wonton Tarts with Mixed Mushrooms

Asian Style with Soy, Sesame and Mirin

and Pesto Mushrooms with Feta

(makes 48)

Another idea for these wonton tarts which i think are a wonderful, healthy, slightly fancy-looking finger food and can be an easy crowd-pleaser. I love mushrooms because they absorb so much flavour, and i'm almost certain that if you just get a few different types of mushrooms, then any dish instantly looks and tastes that little bit more fancy-schmancy and has a great variety of textures! 

Prep time: 15 min
Cooking time: 25 min


Ingredients:
1 packet wonton pastry (usually has 60)
200g Oyster Mushrooms
400g Enoki Mushrooms 
400g King Oyster Mushrooms
4 tsp garlic, finely  diced (approx 4-5 cloves)
5 T Pesto
50g feta
2 T soy sauce
2 T mirin
1 T sesame oil
Sesame Seeds


Special equipment: 24 mini-muffin tray


Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 150˚C.
2. Spray the 24 mini-muffin tray with oil. Fold the wonton pastry into the muffin tray and put in oven for 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown. You will need to make 2 batches.
3. Meanwhile, cut the oyster mushrooms into 2-3cm slices. Separate the enoki into small bunches.

2. For pesto mushrooms: Heat a non-stick frypan with 2 tsp oil, then add 2 tsp garlic and half the oyster and king oyster mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft. Add half the enoki mushrooms and sauté until soft.
3. Add the pesto, may need a few more teaspoons to cover it all. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and wash the pan.
4. For asian mushrooms: Heat a non-stick frypan with 2 tsp oil, then add 2 tsp garlic and half the oyster and king oyster mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft. Add half the enoki mushrooms.
5. Once the enoki mushrooms are soft, add the soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil. Continue stirring over heat for 2-3 minutes.

6. Fill half the tarts with pesto mushrooms and top with a small square of feta.

NB. In hindsight, a leaf of basil would have been quite tasty too!

7. Fill the other half of the tarts with asian mushrooms and top with sesame seeds.
