Ingredients
Chanterelle Salad with Artichokes
- Ingredients
- 4 ozs green Lettuce (such as romaine)
- 1 tsp Walnut oil
- 1 slice cured ham (such as prosciutto)
- 1 shallot
- 2 baby Artichoke
- ½ lemon
- 9 ozs Chanterelle
- 1 Tbsp Canola oil
- salt
- peppers
- 2 Tbsps Crema di Balsamico (reduced balsamic vinegar to a syrup)
- 4 ozs Whole-grain baguette
Rinse lettuce, spin dry and cut into bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl and toss with the walnut oil.
Cut ham into small cubes. Peel the shallot and also cut into small cubes.
Rinse artichokes and trim stems with a sharp knife. Remove outer leaves and cut the remaining leaf tips with kitchen shears.
Peel the artichokes around the stem ends, then cut lengthwise into slices. Immediately rub the cut areas with lemon half to prevent discoloration.
Clean chanterelles carefully with a brush and cut large mushrooms into halves or quarters to make uniform.
Heat the canola oil in a large non-stick pan. Cook artichokes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
Stir in chanterelles and shallots and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Place lettuce on 2 plates. Sprinkle with diced ham and top with the warm chanterelle and artichoke mixture. Drizzle with Crema di Balsamico, cut baguette into slices and serve salad immediately.

Healthy, because
Chanterelles add an extra portion of beta-carotene, which helps support healthy eyesight, skin, hair, and nails, and also strongly supports the immune system. In addition, wild mushrooms provide this dish with folic acid, potassium, and iron.
Even smarter
The bitter substances in artichokes act like a natural fat burner. If you want to increase this effect even more and like it a bit tart, use the slightly bitter radicchio or chicory instead of the green salad.
