Warm Mushroom Salad
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons good olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 bunches of fresh arugula, washed and spun dry
- 8 slices good Italian prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
- Chunk of Parmesan cheese
- 8 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and julienned
- Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Clean the mushrooms by brushing the tops with a clean sponge.
- Don't wash them!
- Remove and discard the stems and slice the caps 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- In a large saute pan, heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until bubbly.
- Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper to the pan, and saute for 3 minutes over medium heat, tossing frequently.
- Reduce the heat to low and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, arrange the arugula on 4 lunch plates (or on a platter) and cover each portion with 2 slices of prosciutto.
- When the mushrooms are cooked, add the sherry vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan.
- Spoon the mushrooms and sauce on top of the prosciutto.
- With a vegetable peeler, make large shavings of Parmesan cheese and place on top of the hot mushrooms.
- Sprinkle with the sun-dried tomatoes, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper, and serve warm.
