Steps:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cool, uncovered.
- Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon; combine with the shallots in another large bowl. Squeeze the juice from both lemons on top. Add the mushrooms and toss with 1 tablespoon salt. Set aside.
- Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Sprinkle with the sugar and a pinch of salt and cook until the sugar melts, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the mushrooms and gently combine with the beans, parsley and half the nuts. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle the remaining nuts on top.
WILD MUSHROOM, ROASTED BEET, AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH ONION PURéE
Steps:
- Make the onion purée:
- In a medium sauté pan over moderate heat, warm the oil. Add the onions and shallot and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft. Season with salt, add the heavy cream, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
- Make the mushrooms:
- In a medium sauté pan over high heat, warm the walnut oil. Add the mushrooms, in batches if necessary, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the liquid released by the mushrooms is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the sage, season with salt, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
- Roast the beets:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Arrange the beets in a large, deep baking dish and drizzle with the oil. Add enough water to reach about 1/4 inch up the sides of the baking dish. Cover with foil and roast until the beets are tender, about 45 minutes. Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them and cut them into quarters. Transfer the beets to a medium bowl, add lemon zest, lemon juice, and chives, season with salt, and toss to combine.
- Toast the pumpkin seeds:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Arrange the pumpkin seeds on a large, rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with walnut oil, and toss to combine. Roast until toasted, about 10 minutes, then toss with salt.
- Cook the peas:
- Fill a large bowl with ice water.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the peas until just tender. Drain, then immediately plunge the peas into the ice water to stop cooking. Drain the peas again and pat them dry.
- To serve:
- In a large bowl combine the mushrooms, beets, peas, goat cheese, and onion purée and toss to combine. Divide the salad among 4 plates, sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds, and serve.
SALAD WITH WARM GOAT CHEESE
Steps:
- Slice the Montrachet into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. (The easiest way to slice goat cheese is to use a length of dental floss.) Dip each slice into the beaten egg whites, then the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a rack and chill them for at least 15 minutes.
- For the dressing, place the vinegars, sugar, salt, pepper, and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend for 1 minute. With the motor running, slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube until the vinaigrette is thickened. Season, to taste.
- Toss the salad greens with enough dressing to moisten, then divide them among 6 plates.
- Melt 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat until just under smoking. Cook the goat cheese rounds quickly on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside. Top each salad with 2 warm rounds and serve.

Steps:
- Put green beans in a microwave-safe bowl with the water. Cover tightly and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the cover, drain in a colander, shaking off any excess water, and set aside.
- While the beans are cooking, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water they release has evaporated and they begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and stir to combine and rewarm. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
OVEN-ROASTED WILD MUSHROOMS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CHILE OIL
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mushrooms with the olive oil, and shallots, then season with salt and black pepper.
- Arrange the mushrooms evenly in one layer in a heavy roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes or until tender. Remove the mushrooms from the roasting pan and place into a large cazuela or baking dish. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of chile oil and top with the slices of cheese. Bake until hot, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish with thyme, and drizzle with the remaining chile oil. Serve with lots of crusty French bread.
- Place all ingredients in a blender and puree. Strain mixture through a fine strainer. Reserve. This may be done up to one day in advance.
Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms: Use a variety of wild mushrooms for the best flavor. Some good options include chanterelles, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. If using dried mushrooms, be sure to rehydrate them before cooking.
- Cook the mushrooms properly: Sauté the mushrooms in butter or olive oil until they are golden brown and tender. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the mushrooms will steam instead of brown.
- Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans are best for this salad. If using frozen green beans, be sure to thaw them before cooking.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crunch. To blanch the green beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the vinaigrette dressing: The vinaigrette dressing is simple to make and adds a delicious flavor to the salad. To make the dressing, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the salad: To assemble the salad, combine the cooked mushrooms, blanched green beans, arugula, and goat cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle with the vinaigrette dressing and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
