Ingredients
- 5 ounces chanterelle or oyster mushrooms, trimmed
- 12 ounces green beans
- 12 ounces shishito peppers (or your favorite in-season pepper)
- ½ cup Durant Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided, plus more for finishing
- 1½ teaspoons sea salt, divided
- ⅓ cup Les Pres Sales Course Sea Salt French Butter
- 10 roasted garlic cloves
- 1 lemon, quartered
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Dust the mushrooms with a pastry brush to remove any dirt or grit.
- In a large bowl, toss the green beans and peppers with ⅓ cup olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Spread evenly on 1 or 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes, or until lightly blistered and sizzling.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Cook for 2 minutes, undisturbed, then toss and repeat for another 2 minutes, continuing to cook and toss until the mushrooms are lightly golden and fragrant. During the last two minutes, add the roasted garlic. When fragrant, remove from the heat.
- Arrange the peppers, beans, and mushrooms on a serving dish. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a spritz of lemon juice. Serve immediately.
