Corn Salad With Chanterelles Garlic Chives And Truffle Oil Recipes

CORN SALAD WITH CHANTERELLES, GARLIC CHIVES AND TRUFFLE OIL

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add corn, and turn off heat. Let sit 15 minutes. Remove corn, and cut kernels off into a large bowl. Scrape cobs over bowl to extract as much juice as possible. Immediately sprinkle with truffle oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
• In a small saute pan, heat olive oil and garlic over medium high heat. Add chanterelles. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and saute, stirring, until chanterelles are soft, about 3 minutes. Do not cook off all the liquid. Remove garlic clove, and discard. Stir in garlic chives.
• Add chanterelle mixture to the corn, and stir gently to combine. Adjust seasoning. Serve warm or cold.

WARM CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the corn and onion. Cook 5 minutes, until heated through. Mix in parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chives to serve.

SHRIMP WITH CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• 1. In a skillet: Melt the butter with the garlic, thyme, and chives.
• 2. Add the wine. Cook about a minute or two to eliminate the alcohol.
• 3. Add the shrimp and chanterelles, and cook until the shrimp turn pink. About 5 minutes or less. Don't overcook the shrimp.
• 4. Sprinkle with a few drops of truffle oil before serving.
• 5. ALTERNATIVELY while you're getting ready for work (this is what I actually did this morning). Melt the butter with the garlic, thyme, chives and wine in the microwave for 1 minute. Put everything into an oven safe dish. Cover tightly and shake to coat. Turn the oven on to 375. (I used a little toaster oven, but just made a single serving) It's done in 10-15 minutes - about the time it takes to shower.
• 6. I steamed some green beans and grabbed a pre-made serving of brown jasmine rice from the freezer to go along with this. Then put it in a container, sprinkled the truffle oil and headed out the door. If I were to serve this for dinner, I'd serve it over some fragrant rice with green beans, which go well with the chanterelles.
