Asian onion soup with soy mushroom brioche



_ Ingredients

onions 4, finely sliced

brioche bread mix 375g

garlic 1 clove, crushed

olive oil

white wine 200ml

white miso 1 tbsp

flat mushrooms 3, finely chopped

beef consommé or stock 400ml

egg 1, beaten

softened butter 25g

soy sauce 2 tsp

shitake or cep powder a pinch


_ Method


Make up the brioche mix following the packet instructions and leave it

to rise.

Meanwhile, fry the onions in plenty of oil until they’re soft and

translucent, about 10 minutes, they should squidge flat between your

fingers when they’re ready. Turn the heat up a little and cook the

 onions until they’re dark reddish brown, then add the garlic and cook

for a minute. Add the miso and stir, then add the wine and bring to a

simmer. Add 200ml water and the beef consommé and bring back to

a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, then season with black pepper and

salt, if needed. Add a splash of water if the soup is too strong.

Fry the mushroom in a little oil until it turns wet and then starts to dry

out again, add the mushroom powder and 11/2 tsp soy sauce and

season well. Press the brioche mix into an oblong about ½ cm thick,

spread with butter, then scatter the mushroom mixture over the top,

roll the dough up along the short edge and press the seam together.

 Cut the roll into 10-12 thick pieces and put them cut-side down on an

oiled baking tray. Mix the egg with the remaining soy sauce and brush

it over the top. Leave for 15 minutes.

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Bake the brioche for 12-15

minutes, or until puffed and golden. Reheat the soup and serve it in

small bowls with some brioche.
