Wild Mushroom And Mizuna Salad With White Truffle Vinaigrette And Sage Recipes

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms by brushing the tops with a clean sponge. Don't wash them! Remove and discard the stems and slice the caps 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. In a large saute pan, heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until bubbly. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper to the pan, and saute for 3 minutes over medium heat, tossing frequently. Reduce the heat to low and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, arrange the arugula on 4 lunch plates (or on a platter) and cover each portion with 2 slices of prosciutto. When the mushrooms are cooked, add the sherry vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan. Spoon the mushrooms and sauce on top of the prosciutto. With a vegetable peeler, make large shavings of Parmesan cheese and place on top of the hot mushrooms. Sprinkle with the sun-dried tomatoes, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper, and serve warm.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all ingredients for vinaigrette and whisk together well. In a saute pan, heat olive oil until smoking. Add mushrooms and saute until they are cooked through, approximately 1 minute, depending on the mushrooms. The mushrooms should be lightly browned. Add minced shallots and chopped chives to the pan and toss thoroughly, remove pan from flame.
• Place an equal amount of the frisee in the middle of each of the 4 plates. In a bowl combine the warm mushrooms and the pancetta with the black truffle/soy dressing. Add salt pepper to taste. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture over and around the pile of frisee on each plate. Serve while the mushrooms are still warm.
