Wild Mushroom Salad with Corn Mustard Dressing
This recipe is adapted from one made available by the great chef, John Ash.
Ingredients:

6 tablespoons rice vinegar
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
4 tablespoons fine quality honey
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

For the Corn Mustard Dressing:
2 teaspoons poached garlic
2 tablespoons shallots, chopped fine
¼ cup extra-strong chicken stock
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ cup unrefined corn oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

For the Mushrooms:
3 tablespoon clarified butter or extra virgin olive oil
1½ pounds wild fresh Chanterelle mushrooms
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

For the Salad:
8 cups loosely packed mixed greens such as arugula, cress, or tat soi
honey lemon vinaigrette
corn mustard dressing

For the Garnish:
fresh dill sprigs
fried capers
shaved Parmesan


Preparation:
To make the vinaigrette, whisk all the ingredients together and store covered and refrigerated.

To prepare the garlic in the corn mustard dressing, place the unpeeled cloves in a small saucepan and cover them with about one inch of cold water. Bring to a boil, drain and repeat the process 2 more times. Remove the husks from the garlic.
For the corn mustard dressing, add the garlic, the shallots, and the chicken stock to a blender and process until smooth.
Add the mustard. Slowly pour the oil into the mixture with the motor running, until the dressing is smooth and thick. Stir in the lemon juice and then season with salt and pepper. Store the mixture covered in the refrigerator until it's ready to use.

For the mushrooms, heat the clarified butter in a large sauté pan and cook until barely tender and still holding their shape. Season with salt and pepper, set aside, and keep them warm.

To assemble the salad, toss the greens with some of the honey lemon vinaigrette. Arrange on plates with the mushrooms. Spoon the corn mustard dressing around and garnish with dill sprigs, fried capers, and cheese. This makes about 6 servings.
