Mushroom salad with mint
Indulge in the refreshing flavors of mint and earthy mushrooms with this tantalizing salad. Perfect for a light and flavorful meal.
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 large mixing bowl. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Heat butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter starts turning brown, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook covered until the mushrooms release liquid, approximately 3 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are golden brown, around 8 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven.
- Combine extra-virgin olive oil, sherry vinegar, Marsala, tomato paste, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Cook the shallots covered over medium heat until they become tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring, until they are lightly browned. Mix in the sherry vinaigrette and remove from heat.
- Mix the lettuces in a bowl. Add the cooked mushrooms and shallots, and toss well. Arrange the salad on 6 plates, sprinkle with cheese, and serve immediately.
