SPINACH SALAD WITH SEARED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS



Spinach Salad with Seared Shiitake Mushrooms image

Shiitakes, which are sold in my supermarket along with cremini and button mushrooms, are powerhouse mushrooms. Along with the B-vitamins and minerals that all mushrooms contain, the shiitake contains all 8 amino acids, unusual for a plant, and the essential fatty acid linoleic acid, as well as an immune-boosting chemical component called lentinan. When you pan-cook them over high heat, as you do here, the flavor is very intense, because of the natural msg that all mushrooms contain.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, finely minced or pureed in a mortar and pestle
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (can substitute some yogurt or buttermilk for some of the olive oil for a low-fat dressing)
6 large or 8 smaller fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced (discard the stems or use for stock)
1 teaspoon canola oil
Salt to taste
1 6- or 7-ounce package baby spinach, rinsed and dried
1 celery stalk, preferably from the inner heart of the celery, sliced very thin
1 to 2 tablespoons pine nuts or broken walnut pieces, lightly toasted
1 ounce crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Mix together the vinegar and lemon juice with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard using a fork or a small whisk. Whisk in the olive oil and the yogurt or buttermilk if using. Set aside.
  • Combine the spinach, nuts, celery, and goat cheese in a salad bowl.
  • Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and when very hot, add the mushrooms. Shake the pan once, then let the mushrooms cook without moving them around until they begin to sweat and soften (watch closely). After about a minute or two, when they have begun to sear and release moisture, you can move them around in the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Add to the spinach mixture and toss with the dressing. Serve at once.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM SALAD RECIPE



Spinach and Mushroom Salad Recipe image

This is a delicious recipe we have had for dinner several times. It's great for the warm summer evenings and it's an easy, but impressive salad for entertaining year round. It's very similar to the mushroom and spinach salad at one of our favorite restaurants, The Melting Pot. This recipe will make 4-6 side salads or a couple of generous entre salads. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, but this is the combination we've found to be the best for our family. The key is to use really excellent olive oil and vinegar. But, if you want, you can just use half a cup of your favorite oil and vinegar dressing instead. Enjoy!

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 side salads, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 ounces spinach (baby leaves best)
1/4 lb white mushroom, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup crisp bacon, crumbled (optional)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon minced parsley

Steps:

  • Clean the mushrooms by wiping off with a damp kitchen towel or paper towels and then slice them
  • Marinate the mushrooms in the oil and vinegar (or dressing) for one hour or until you are ready to serve the salad. If they are going to marinate for longer than an hour, I reserve some of the dressing back to toss with the spinach just before serving (mushrooms tend to soak up the dressing).
  • To serve, toss the ingredients in a salad bowl and serve on salad plates.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach: Opt for vibrant green spinach leaves that are crisp and unwilted. Avoid any leaves that show signs of yellowing or wilting.
  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly: Shiitake mushrooms can have dirt or debris clinging to them. Gently wipe each mushroom with a damp cloth to remove any impurities.
  • Sear the mushrooms properly: To achieve a flavorful sear, ensure your pan is hot before adding the mushrooms. Sear them in a single layer, allowing them to caramelize and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is a crucial component that brings together the salad. Use a well-balanced dressing that complements the earthy flavors of the spinach and mushrooms. Experiment with different dressings, such as balsamic vinaigrette, lemon-tahini dressing, or a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing.
  • Add other vegetables or nuts: Feel free to customize the salad by incorporating other vegetables or nuts. Roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, roasted chickpeas, or toasted almonds are excellent additions that add texture and flavor.

Conclusion:

This spinach salad with seared shiitake mushrooms is a delightful and healthy dish that offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The earthy notes of the mushrooms pair beautifully with the crisp spinach, while the creamy avocado and tangy dressing add richness and brightness. It's a versatile salad that can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a refreshing side dish, or as part of a larger meal. With its vibrant colors and nutrient-packed ingredients, this salad is sure to impress your taste buds and nourish your body.
