Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 4 heads heads of garlic
Roast four heads of garlic until soft and blackened in places; cool and peel off the papery husk.
  • 1½ cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • shiitake
  • oyster mushrooms
  • chanterelles
  • lobster mushroom
Pulse the garlic in a food processor, then pour in the olive oil with the machine running. Add the salt and lime juice and pulse a couple of times to blend.
Cut up the mushrooms: pull the stems off the shiitakes and slice them very thinly crosswise since they are fibrous; cut the caps crosswise about a quarter inch thick.
  • 2 whole chipotle in adobo
  • epazote
Chop a couple of chipotles in adobo and a few leaves of epazote (or a big handful of cilantro).
Heat a skillet over medium-high with some of the oil from the mojo; when very hot add the mushrooms all at once and toss continuously until they begin to brown.
  • salt
  • bolillo or telera
Reduce the heat, add some of the mojo garlic solids, the chipotle and the herb; taste and season generously with salt.
  • fresh goat cheese
Halve the bread lengthwise and scoop out some of the soft interior. Smear the base with goat cheese and add a generous helping of mushrooms.
Building and toasting the torta
  • wild arugula
Heat in the oven until the crust is crisp and the inside warm.
  • fresh lime juice
  • salt
Dress wild arugula with a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of salt, put it over the filling, add the top and cut the sandwich in half.
