Shiitake Mushrooms With Harissa Vinaigrette

• For the harissa:
• 1 pint Fresno chilies
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped mint
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• For the vinaigrette:
• 1 tablespoon harissa
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• For the mushrooms:
• 4 tablespoons canola oil

• 11/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 11/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

1. What To Do
2. 1. Make harissa: Place chilies under broiler and roast, turning frequently, until blistered and lightly charred all over, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover and let steam 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet set over medium heat, toast coriander, caraway and cumin seeds until fragrant, 2 minutes. Grind toasted spices in a spice or coffee grinder. Once chilies have steamed, rub off skins. Place peeled chilies in a food processor along with ground spices, garlic, paprika, olive oil, mint and lemon juice, and blend to a paste. Remove harissa from food processor and set aside.
3. 2. Make vinaigrette: In food processor, combine 1 tablespoon harissa, lemon and lime juices and blend to combine. With motor running, add olive and canola oils in a light stream, blending until emulsified.
4. 3. Saute mushrooms: In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat canola oil over high heat until shimmering. Add shiitakes and saute until browned and tender, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and thyme, stir to coat mushrooms and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer mixture to a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. 4. Toss mushrooms with 1/4 cup vinaigrette. Reserve remaining vinaigrette and harissa in airtight containers in the refrigerator for later use. Transfer dressed mushrooms to a serving bowl and garnish with cilantro.
