SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Brush the caps of each mushroom with a clean sponge. Remove and discard the stems. Slice the small mushrooms thickly and cut the large ones in a large dice.
- Heat the olive oil in a large (11 - inch) Dutch oven or saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the shallots are translucent. Add the butter, mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until they are tender and begin to release their juices, stirring often. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Toss in the parsley, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm.
SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS, FRESH HERB SALAD, AND ROASTED GARLIC BEURRE BLANC
Steps:
- Beurre Blanc: Combine the shallots, lemon juice, wine, thyme, peppercorns, bay leaves, and roasted garlic in a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil and reduce until almost dry, leaving about 1/8 cup. Reduce heat to low and add the cream. Begin adding the butter, 1 cube at a time, whisking continuously. As each cube incorporates into the sauce, add another until all butter has been added. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. If you feel that the sauce is too acidic, add a bit of honey to balance the flavor. Be sure to use only a small amount of honey so as not to make the sauce taste too sweet. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Mushrooms: Place a saute pan over high heat and add enough canola oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat until you just begin to see light wisps of smoke coming from the pan. Add the mushrooms and begin to saute until the mushrooms are cooked halfway. Add the garlic and shallots to the pan and continue to saute, keeping the mushrooms moving at all times. When the mushrooms are just cooked through add the fresh herbs to the pan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Taste the mushrooms and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Cover and keep warm while you saute the scallops.
- Scallops: In a bowl, toss the sea scallops lightly in 1/2 cup canola oil. Season each scallop evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Put a saute pan that is large enough to hold the scallops in 1 layer without them touching over high heat. Add enough canola oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat until you begin to see light wisps of smoke coming from the oil. Add the scallops to the pan carefully and allow them to get a deep golden brown color. Turn the scallops and allow the second side to get the same golden brown color. If you want the scallops to be more cooked, place the scallops in a preheated 350 degree F oven until they reach the desired doneness. Serve with mushrooms and drizzle with buerre blanc sauce.

SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS WITH GARLIC AND PARSLEY (WILDE PILZE)
These mushrooms are delicious atop slices of crusty French baguette smeared with brie cheese, as a main dish tossed with warm buttered pasta, as a topping for baked potatoes, -or- as an earthy accompaniment to grilled meats, fish or poultry. They are also wonderful folded into an omelet. Adapted from Ina Garten. Variation: A delicious variation that my German grandmother made (with her own wild foraged mushrooms!) was to simply saute the 'shrooms in butter until tender, add a little cream and heat through, then season to taste with salt and pepper and snipped fresh parsley. Great! I hope you enjoy.

Steps:
- Slice the small mushrooms thickly and cut the large ones in a large dice.
- Heat the olive oil in a large (11 - inch) Dutch oven or saucepan. Add the shallots and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until the shallots are translucent.
- Add the butter, mushrooms, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until they are tender and begin to release their juices, stirring often.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Mushrooms: Opt for fresh, firm, and flavorful wild mushrooms. Avoid any that are slimy, bruised, or have an off odor.
- Clean Mushrooms Properly: Gently brush off any dirt or debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid rinsing them under running water, as this can absorb excess moisture.
- Use High Heat: Sautéing wild mushrooms over high heat helps to quickly sear them, locking in their natural flavors and preventing them from becoming soggy.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with mushrooms, as this can lead to steaming rather than sautéing. Work in batches if necessary.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs like thyme or rosemary pair well with wild mushrooms.
- Add Aromatics and Fats: Enhance the flavor of your sautéed mushrooms by adding aromatic ingredients like shallots, garlic, or onions, as well as flavorful fats like butter or olive oil.
- Cook Until Tender: Sauté the mushrooms until they are tender and slightly browned, but still retain a slight bite. Overcooking can make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve Immediately: Sautéed wild mushrooms are best served immediately, while they are still hot and flavorful. They can be enjoyed on their own, as a side dish, or incorporated into a variety of dishes.
Conclusion:
Sautéing wild mushrooms is a versatile and delicious cooking technique that allows you to enjoy the unique flavors and textures of these forest treasures. By following these tips, you can easily prepare sautéed wild mushrooms that are bursting with flavor and perfect for any occasion.
