Steps:
- Make Pickled Mushrooms: Place mushrooms in a small heatproof bowl. Place remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring once or twice, until sugar and salt dissolve. Strain hot pickling liquid over mushrooms. Reserve 1 tablespoon pickling liquid for vinaigrette and discard peppercorns, rosemary and garlic. Cover mushrooms with plastic wrap. Make Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon mushroom pickling liquid, oil, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste until emulsified. Set aside. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crisp and most of fat has rendered out. Add sourdough pieces to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding a little olive oil if pan seems dry, until bread begins to get crisp and golden, 7-10 minutes. Transfer bread and bacon to a bowl. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook mushrooms in skillet, stirring frequently, until slightly browned, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and turn off heat. Compose Salad: Drain pickled mushrooms. In a large bowl, combine greens, warm mushrooms, drained pickled mushrooms, croutons and bacon. Drizzle vinaigrette to taste, tossing to coat. Adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with radishes and fennel fronds, if using. Serve while mushrooms are still warm.
Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality bacon and fresh mushrooms.
- For a smoky flavor, cook the bacon in a cast iron skillet.
- To prevent the mushrooms from becoming soggy, cook them over high heat until they are browned.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for the vinaigrette. A cheap vinegar will not have the same flavor or consistency.
- If you don't have any shallots, you can use a small onion instead.
- To make the vinaigrette ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Serve the salad immediately while the bacon is still warm and crispy.
Conclusion:
This warm bacon mushroom vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and tangy vinaigrette is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful salad, give this one a try.
