Sauteed Spring Mushrooms

Use any combo of wild spring mushrooms you find—porcini, shiitake, oyster, morel, hedgehog, etc. You also can add cultivated creminis to the mix.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds fresh wild mushrooms
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Clean and trim the mushrooms. Cut or slice them into roughly similar-sized pieces, leaving very small ones whole. Finely chop the shallots and garlic.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When the butter melts, add the shallots, garlic and a pinch of salt. Sauté 1 minute. Stir in the mushrooms and another pinch of salt. Sauté 6-8 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their liquid and turned a rich golden-brown. Season to taste with pepper and, if needed, more salt.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in herbs and lemon zest.

Pearled Barley Risotto with Peas, Pecorino & Prosciutto

Pearled barley yields a creamy, toothsome risotto. And here’s your language lesson for the day: The Italian word for barley is orzo (not to be confused with the rice-shaped pasta of the same name), and risotto made with barley is called orzotto. Yes, we probably should call this orzotto, but most people will think of this as risotto. In any case, it’s delicious by any name. This recipe also would be tasty with pearled farro (labeled farro perlato) if you find it at gourmet markets, in which case, this would be farrotto.
