Chanterelles are chef Dory Ford's favorite mushroom. Prep and Cook Time: 55 minutes. Notes: If you don't have enough pancetta drippings for the potatoes, add some olive oil. Ingredients:
12 ounces fresh chanterelle mushrooms or 10 oz. shiitake mushrooms |
6 ounces slab pancetta or thick-cut bacon, diced |
3 pounds baby yukon gold potatoes, halved lengthwise (if potatoes are longer than 2 in., cut into quarters) |
4 medium cloves garlic, minced |
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves |
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt |
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 medium shallot, minced |
1/3 cup chardonnay or other white wine |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon |
1 tablespoon chopped chives |
1/2 cup white-wine vinaigrette |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Wipe chanterelles with a damp cloth or scrape with a knife to remove dirt; cut away dry, woody parts. Tear mushrooms into 1-in. pieces.
2. Cook pancetta in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until crisp and browned, about 7 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels, reserving drippings.
3. Toss potatoes with 3 tbsp. reserved pancetta drippings (see Notes), garlic, thyme, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Divide potatoes between two 9- by 13-in. glass baking pans. Bake, stirring every 10 minutes, until tender, well browned, and crispy, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and keep warm.
4. Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook until soft, 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add Chardonnay, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper; scrape up browned bits and cook until liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes.
5. In a large bowl, toss together potatoes, mushrooms, pancetta, tarragon, and chives. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Serve warm, with fennel-spiced wild salmon.
