Forest Whispers on Crispy Bread – Topinki with Vegannett Tomato-Wild Garlic & Herb-Garlic Oil
Rustic, aromatic, and full of forest magic – this variation of Czech Topinki combines juicy, golden-brown fried wild mushrooms with the fresh spice of Vegannett Tomato-Wild Garlic. It also features a fragrant herb-garlic oil, toasted baguette, and a hint of sesame for a fine crunch. Perfect as a hearty snack, appetizer, or small evening treat.
🌿 Ingredients for 4 servings:
- 200 g wild mushrooms (e.g., porcini, chanterelles, or button mushrooms)
- 1 jar of Vegannett Tomato-Wild Garlic
- 1 red onion
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 1 baguette
- Fresh parsley (about ½ bunch)
- Fresh rosemary (2–3 sprigs)
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- Olive oil
- Salt & freshly ground pepper
- Vegan cheese (optional, for gratinating)
🔪 Preparation:
- Clean the mushrooms, cut them into bite-sized pieces, and fry them vigorously in a pan with some olive oil.
- Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mushrooms, sauté briefly.
- Chop the garlic and fry it gently in a separate small pan with olive oil until golden.
- Cut the baguette into slices about 2 cm thick and toast them in the oven or a pan until golden brown and crispy.
- Mix the mushrooms with Vegannett Tomato-Wild Garlic, season with salt and pepper.
- Finely chop the herbs and mix them with the garlic and its frying oil.
- Generously spread the mushroom mixture on the baguette slices.
- Drizzle the herb-garlic oil over it to taste, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and optionally gratinate briefly with vegan cheese.
✨ Tip:
Topinki taste best fresh from the oven – still warm, with a crispy edge and juicy topping. A glass of robust red wine or a cool herbal beer completes the forest delight perfectly.
