SPINACH SALAD WITH SEARED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS



Spinach Salad with Seared Shiitake Mushrooms image

Shiitakes, which are sold in my supermarket along with cremini and button mushrooms, are powerhouse mushrooms. Along with the B-vitamins and minerals that all mushrooms contain, the shiitake contains all 8 amino acids, unusual for a plant, and the essential fatty acid linoleic acid, as well as an immune-boosting chemical component called lentinan. When you pan-cook them over high heat, as you do here, the flavor is very intense, because of the natural msg that all mushrooms contain.

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, finely minced or pureed in a mortar and pestle
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (can substitute some yogurt or buttermilk for some of the olive oil for a low-fat dressing)
6 large or 8 smaller fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced (discard the stems or use for stock)
1 teaspoon canola oil
Salt to taste
1 6- or 7-ounce package baby spinach, rinsed and dried
1 celery stalk, preferably from the inner heart of the celery, sliced very thin
1 to 2 tablespoons pine nuts or broken walnut pieces, lightly toasted
1 ounce crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Mix together the vinegar and lemon juice with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard using a fork or a small whisk. Whisk in the olive oil and the yogurt or buttermilk if using. Set aside.
  • Combine the spinach, nuts, celery, and goat cheese in a salad bowl.
  • Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and when very hot, add the mushrooms. Shake the pan once, then let the mushrooms cook without moving them around until they begin to sweat and soften (watch closely). After about a minute or two, when they have begun to sear and release moisture, you can move them around in the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Add to the spinach mixture and toss with the dressing. Serve at once.

SPINACH AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH KASHA AND MUSHROOMS



Spinach and Endive Salad With Kasha and Mushrooms image

Kasha is not the main ingredient here, so I wouldn't call this a grain salad, but rather a substantial leafy green salad with grain. I love pairing this nutty grain with both cooked and raw spinach, and with walnuts and walnut oil. Kasha also goes well with foods that have a bitter edge, like endive, so I included some in the salad.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup loosely packed flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
2 whole boneless chicken breasts, skin on, split
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped fine
