Wild Mushroom Couscous
- Couscous
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 palmful dried porcini mushrooms
- 2 cups stock
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- 1 clove garlic
- Sauteed mushrooms
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (I used chanterelles, as it is the season for these beauties)
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 teaspoons ponzu or soy sauce
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (I've been loving the "curly" variety lately; It is very midtown Manhattan in the 80's, haha!)
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- Boil two cups of stock with dried porcinis, salt, and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Remove from heat and pour over couscous in a medium mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; after five minutes, remove wrap, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil until shimmering. Add shallot and garlic, cook for 2 minutes, add mushrooms in one layer, add butter, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip, then cook 2 more minutes. Add ponzu (or soy) sauce and white wine, then reduce for a few minutes. Toss with parsley and pepper, and serve over cous cous. Fungi heaven!
