Instructions
To prepare these delectable Radicchio Rolls with Champignon Mushrooms and Bergkäse Superiore, begin by gathering your ingredients and preparing them for assembly:
-
Prep the Mushrooms and Potatoes:
Clean the champignon mushrooms thoroughly and slice them into thin pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, about 1 cm in size. Finally, chop the fresh parsley finely and set it aside. -
Cook the Filling:
In a pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté them for a few minutes until fragrant. Next, add the cubed potatoes to the pan, seasoning with salt. Allow the potatoes to cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly golden. Once cooked, remove the garlic cloves from the pan and turn off the heat, letting the filling cool down slightly. -
Grate the Cheese:
While the filling cools, take the Bergkäse Superiore and grate it using a large-hole grater. Once the potatoes have cooled to a warm temperature, mix in the grated cheese thoroughly, ensuring the cheese melts slightly into the mixture. -
Prepare the Radicchio Leaves:
Select the largest and most intact radicchio leaves. Cut off the tough central rib to make rolling easier. Blanch the leaves by submerging them into boiling water for about 30 seconds. Afterward, quickly transfer them into a bowl of ice-cold water to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color. -
Assemble the Rolls:
Place each radicchio leaf on a flat surface. Spoon about a tablespoon of the potato and mushroom filling onto each leaf. Fold in the sides of the leaf slightly and roll it up gently, making sure the filling stays secure inside. -
Bake the Rolls:
Arrange the radicchio rolls neatly in a greased baking dish. Grate the remaining Bergkäse Superiore using a fine grater and sprinkle it generously over the rolls for a deliciously crispy topping. Place the dish under the grill in your oven at 240°C (464°F) for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the radicchio rolls are perfectly gratinated, remove them from the oven and serve hot. These flavorful rolls make for a delightful and savory appetizer that will surely impress your guests.
Enjoy your Radicchio Rolls with Champignon Mushrooms and Bergkäse Superiore! They are a perfect combination of earthy mushrooms, rich potatoes, and the creamy tang of Bergkäse, all wrapped in the slightly bitter yet tender radicchio leaves. These rolls are a sophisticated treat ideal for any gathering.
