Warm Mushroom & Stilton Salad

" Sautéed mushrooms are a classic steakhouse side dish. Here they pair nicely with Stilton, the aristocratic English blue cheese. 

 Instead of Stilton, go for Roquefort or Maytag blue. Mâche or arugula can stand in for the lettuce mix."

INGREDIENTS:


  • 1 1/2 ozs pancetta
    3 lg  shallots
    1 lb fresh chanterelle mushrooms
    2 ozs Stilton
    6 tbs olive oil
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1 tbs plus 2 teaspoons Sherry wine vinegar
    1 4 to 5 oz bag Bordeaux lettuce mix















     

  • DIRECTIONS:

     

    Chop pancetta. Thinly slice shallots. Brush sand off 1 pound fresh chanterelle mushrooms and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Crumble Stilton.
     

    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and shallots; sauté until beginning to brown. Add 2 more tablespoons olive oil, then the mushrooms.

     

    Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are just tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon Sherry wine vinegar and boil until evaporated, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

    Pour lettuce mix into a shallow salad bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss. Add 2 teaspoons Sherry wine vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and toss again.

     

    Add the mushrooms and cheese; toss lightly and serve immediately.
