Ingredients

• 300 grams chanterelle mushrooms
• 100 grams arugula
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 medium shallot
• 1 large garlic clove
• 60 milliliters white wine
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 50 grams walnuts, toasted
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese, shaved
• 1 to taste salt
• 1 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the chanterelle mushrooms gently with a damp cloth or brush to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water to prevent sogginess.

Step 2

Slice larger chanterelles into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking; leave smaller ones whole.

Step 3

Finely dice the shallot and mince the garlic clove.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted and is slightly foamy, stir in the shallots and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chanterelle mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.

Step 7

Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off. Season the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mushrooms cool slightly while preparing the dressing.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 10

In a large mixing bowl, add the arugula and toasted walnuts. Pour in the warm chanterelle mushrooms and their juices from the skillet.

Step 11

Drizzle the mustard vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 12

Divide the salad among plates and top with shaved Parmesan cheese.

Step 13

Serve immediately while the mushrooms are still warm for the best flavor and texture.
