Ingredients:
- 1360g medium white mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon pure olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Marsala
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 large shallots, thinly sliced
- 6 cups coarsely shredded romaine lettuce
- 2 cups coarsely shredded Boston lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded Gouda cheese, aged Gouda or goat Gouda (30g)
Instructions:
- Mix the mushrooms with lemon juice in a big bowl. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of pure olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter turns brown, put in the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the mushrooms release liquid, approximately for 3 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is gone and the mushrooms are nicely browned, this normally takes about 8 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and cook for 2 more minutes while stirring. Put the mushrooms on a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven.
- Whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, sherry vinegar, Marsala, tomato paste, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
- Put the remaining 1 teaspoon of pure olive oil in the skillet. Add the shallots, cover and cook over medium heat until they are soft, which takes about 3 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring, until they get slightly brown. Mix in the sherry vinaigrette and take the skillet off the heat.
- Combine lettuces in a bowl. Add the cooked mushrooms and shallots and mix well. Put the salad on 6 plates, sprinkle with cheese, and serve immediately.
