Instructions

to press the mushrooms

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°.
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, add oil, add cluster mushrooms.
  3. Cook for a few minutes, then add a second cast-iron pan to the top and let naturally press.
  4. Gently press on pan evenly. The mushrooms will start to release their liquid. When the liquid reduces a bit, remove the top skillet.
  5. Sprinkle garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper over mushrooms.
  6. Flip clusters so that the seasoned side is down. Searing them will allow them to caramelize and char. Repeat this process until mushrooms are golden brown and compressed clusters.
  7. Add a splash of oil if needed. Remove from heat when ready.

to bake the mushrooms

  1. Add cooked mushrooms to casserole pan. Add cherry tomatoes, and cover with the tomato sauce evenly.
  2. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing.

to finish
