Preparing King Oyster Mushrooms

To prepare king oyster mushrooms, only cut the hard, very firm or dirty ends. For cleaning, if your king oyster mushrooms are good in quality, only wash the ends. However if a whole cleaning is needed emotionally, quickly rinsing it in running water. Don’t soak the mushrooms!

Preparing Blue Oyster Mushrooms

Wipe off the dirt with a damp paper towel or damp cloth if you find a lot of heavy residue on your mushrooms. Do not go too heavy with the water or the pressure, as you do not want to damage your mushrooms.

How to Blanch Fagiolini (Green Beans)

Snap off the stem ends by hand, or use kitchen scissors to snip off the stem ends.
Grab a pot large enough to hold the green beans you plan to cook, and fill it with water. Salt the water and bring it to a rapid boil. Add the green beans and boil until bright green and tender crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove from the boiling water and immediately plunge them into the ice bath to stop the cooking. Once completely cool, drain completely and pat dry.

Step 1
For the Mushrooms:
Fire up your Ciao Bella Pizza Oven. Aim for 390°F on the stones. You can check the temperature inside your oven quickly and easily using the built-in temperature thermometer gauge.

Step 2
Carefully slice the King Oyster Mushrooms in half lengthways (see notes). Lightly score a 5mm diagonal crisscross pattern into the cut side of the mushrooms. This will help the mushroom cook more evenly as well as allowing the seasoning to thoroughly penetrate the flesh.

Step 3
In the Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet Pan, heat 1 tablespoon of Zerillo Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Step 4
Prepare the cleaned Blue Oyster Mushrooms.

Step 5
Place the King and Blue Oyster Mushrooms face down inside the Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet Pan.

Step 6
Place a crushed garlic clove into the mushrooms. Salt the mushrooms and add a delicate drizzle of Zerillo Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Step 7
Let the mushrooms cook for 20 minutes.

Step 8
Finally, top the mushrooms with chopped chives and serve warm.

Step 9
For the Fagiolini (Green Beans):
Fire up your Ciao Bella Pizza Oven. Aim for 390°F on the stones. You can check the temperature inside your oven quickly and easily using the built-in temperature thermometer gauge.

Step 10
Clean and blanch the Fagiolini (Green Beans) in boiling salted water, about 3 to 5 minutes (see notes). Remove from the boiling water and immediately into the ice bath to stop the cooking.

Step 11
In the Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet Pan, heat 1 tablespoon of Zerillo Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 chili pepper finely chopped and 1 teaspoon of finely minced garlic.

Step 12
Cook until the garlic is slightly brown and fragrant. Make sure to stir.

Step 13
Next, add the Fagiolini (Green Beans) and a pinch of salt. Let the Fagiolini (Green Beans) cook for 20 minutes.
