Directions

Prepare Ingredients:
Begin by cleaning the mushrooms using a damp cloth. Slice them uniformly to ensure even cooking. Mince the garlic clove and set aside. Toast pine nuts in a dry pan over low heat until golden, then set aside.
Cook Mushrooms:
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once warm, add the minced garlic and let it sizzle for about 30 seconds, ensuring it doesn’t brown or burn.
Introduce the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and the fresh herbs of your choice. Stir and let them cook for about 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly golden.
Add Greens:
Once the mushrooms are cooked, turn off the heat and add the arugula. Mix gently, allowing the residual heat to wilt the arugula slightly.
Serve:
Spread the ricotta over the toasted sourdough slice. Layer the mushroom and arugula mix on top.
Garnish with lemon zest, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and the toasted pine nuts. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon for added freshness.

Recipe Note

You can substitute shiitake mushrooms with cremini, portobello, or oyster mushrooms.
For those seeking a spicier kick, consider adding chopped jalapeños or a spicy hot sauce.
If you’re using vegan ricotta, double-check the nutritional information as it may differ slightly.
