Artichoke Chanterelle And Cipollini Sauté Recipes

PUREED ARTICHOKE CROSTINI WITH LIME SALT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the artichokes, spinach, chopped garlic and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice and saute until the spinach begins to wilt and the garlic becomes fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a food processor. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, feta, parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and pulse until smooth. Add the kosher salt and season to taste with pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine the sea salt flakes and lime zest with your fingers. Set aside.
• Rub the remaining whole garlic clove onto one side of each slice of bread. Divide the artichoke mixture equally among the slices, place on a platter and serve; or, spoon into a serving bowl and serve with the bread slices on the side. Garnish with the radishes and lime salt.

ARTICHOKE, CHANTERELLE, AND CIPOLLINI SAUTé

Steps:

• Combine water and 2 tablespoons juice. Working with one artichoke at a time, bend back outer green leaves of artichokes, snapping at base, until reaching light green leaves.
• Trim about 1/4 inch from top of artichoke. Cut off stem of artichoke to within 1/4 inch of base; peel stem.
• Cut artichoke in half vertically. Place artichoke halves in lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
• Set aside.
• Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add onions; cook for 3 minutes or until onions begin to brown, stirring occasionally. Remove onions from pan, and set aside.
• Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter and oil to pan, stirring until butter melts.
• Add shallots, mushrooms, and garlic; sauté 1 1/2 minutes or until shallots are tender.
• Add onions and wine; cook for 3 minutes or until wine almost evaporates. Drain artichokes. Stir artichokes and peas into onion mixture; cook 3 minutes or until artichokes are tender.
• Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with cheese.

GARLIC SAUTEED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Rinse artichokes under cold water, and use a sharp knife to cut the top 1/3 off of each one. Trim the stems to about 1 inch, and remove the smaller leaves from around the base. Use scissors to remove any remaining leaf tips. Cut each artichoke in half from the bottom to the top, then use a spoon to scrape out the hairy choke. Rinse again to remove any residual hairs.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and saute for about 1 minute to flavor the butter. Arrange artichoke halves cut-side down in the skillet. Saute for about 5 or 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Reduce heat to low, and pour in about 1/4 cup of water, cover, and let steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender. A fork should easily pierce the stem.

SAUTéED CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Cut the base of the stems of the chanterelles. If the mushrooms are very gritty, rinse them quickly under cold running water and pat them dry. Otherwise, clean them carefully with a soft paint or pastry brush. Cut the large mushrooms into bite-size pieces; leave the smaller ones whole.
• Heat the butter in a frying pan. Add the chanterelles and saute for two to three minutes or until they start to become soft. Add the wine and when it has evaporated, add the chicken stock. Cook over high heat until it has almost evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley, thyme or chives.

SAUTEED CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Cut mushrooms into chunks. Try to keep all the pieces about the same size.
• Saute the garlic and shallots in butter over medium heat until the onions start to turn translucent.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan. Stir every few minutes. (Lots of water in the bottom of the pan is normal.).
• After about 10 minutes (or when your mushroom chunks are a couple minutes from doneness,) drain the juice from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the basil and the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and cook the mushrooms until they're soft but not mushy.
• Enjoy!
