SAUTÉED MUSHROOM SALAD

INGREDIENTS

Serves 2


1 head butter lettuce (Boston lettuce), separated into leaves

1/2 pound mushrooms (such as porcini or chanterelles), cleaned and cut into 1/4" slices

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto

1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

1. Arrange the tender inner leaves of the lettuce on two large salad plates, covering almost the entire surface.

2. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the mushrooms in 1/4 cup olive oil until the water they release has evaporated, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

3. Drizzle the lettuce leaves with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil per plate.

4. Tear the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle it over the lettuce leaves. Top with the warm mushrooms and sprinkle with the cheese. Serve immediately.
