\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 tablespoon olive oil (to saut\u00e9)\"Reif<\/a>
\n2 shallots finely chopped
\n3 cups sliced wild and domestic mushrooms
\n(Try shitake, oyster, button, crimini, portobello, chanterelle, morel as available)
\n2 clove garlic, chopped (optional)
\n5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
\n5 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
\nSalt and pepper to taste
\nBaby greens of choice<\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.<\/p>\n

Add the shallots and mushrooms and cook stirring until soft.<\/p>\n

Continue cooking until the juices from the mushrooms have reduced to about 2 tablespoons.<\/p>\n

Stir in the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper until evenly blended.<\/p>\n

Turn off heat, and let the mushrooms sit in the pan until they are just warm, no longer hot (otherwise the greens will wilt too much).<\/p>\n

Put the baby greens into a serving bowl, and pour the warm mushroom mixture over them. Toss to blend, and serve immediately.*<\/p>\n

*Add shavings or crumble your favourite Ontario cheese on top. Also can be served hors d\u2019oeuvres style on a lettuce leaf or crostini.<\/p>\n
