WILD MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• The stems and caps of the mushrooms are used for different parts of the recipe, so separating them is the first step. Take a knife and cut the stems from the caps of all the different mushroom varieties, put the caps in one bowl, and the stems in another. Next we make a stock by placing all the mushroom stems into a pot, along with the bay leaves, white peppercorns, teaspoon of salt and water. Bring that to a heavy boil, and let reduce. All of this needs to reduce to 1/4 of a cup of finished stock, so patience is needed. After about 15 to 20 minutes on high heat, take the stock and pour through a fine strainer, if 1/4 cup of liquid is left, discard the pulp and save the liquid off to one side. Take the mushroom caps, and slice them. Add the sliced mushroom caps and saute in butter until tender. Then add in the shallots and garlic, and only saute for about another minute, or until the shallots and garlic are translucent. Pull the saute pan off the stove, and add the curry powder, fresh herbs, red bell peppers, oils, rice vinegar, pinch of salt and pepper, and mushroom stock. Pour this mixture into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let sit in a warm place for 1 hour, to allow all the flavors and aromas of the stock to infuse into the mushrooms. Strain this salad, and serve the mushrooms on one plate, and save the stock as a dressing.

• Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Combine the mushrooms on a baking sheet, toss with 3 tablespoons canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven, stirring several times, until soft and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan and place it back on the stove over high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add 3 cups chicken stock and the herbs, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
• Add the mushrooms to the bowl with the bread, then add the stock mixture, the bacon and the eggs; season with salt and pepper and gently stir until combined. The mixture should be very wet; add more stock if needed. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add the stuffing and cover with foil. Bake 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown, 30 to 40 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving.
