Chef Anne Willan
1 cup Hazelnuts chopped
1 pound Mixed Exotic Mushrooms such as Chanterelles Porcini and Shiitake Mushrooms
1/4 cup Butter
2 Organic Shallots finely chopped
1 Organic Garlic finely chopped
Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper
2 tablespoons Organic Italian Parsley chopped
Organic Lemon juice freshly squeezed
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet, and toast in the heated oven until lightly browned, stirring once, 12-15 minutes.
Clean the mushrooms by trimming the stems and brushing off any debris.
Do not soak the mushrooms or they will become too soft. Rinse them quickly with cold water; drain thoroughly.
Leave small mushrooms whole and cut large ones in half or quarters.
Melt half the butter in a large sauté pan.
Add shallots and sauté until soft but not brown, 1-2 minutes.
Add mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper and sauté briskly until done, tossing and stirring so the mushrooms cook evenly, 3-5 minutes.
Add remaining butter, nuts, and parsley and continue to sauté 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice, taste, adjust seasoning, and serve.
