INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation of the Cranberry Beans: Place all of the ingredients in a
heavy sauce pan, except the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, turn
down and simmer slowly for twenty minutes. Add salt and finish cooking
process, approximately five to ten minutes. Cool beans in juice. Once
cold, remove aromats and take the beans out. Refrigerate beans, but do
not discard the cooking juices. Preparation of the Lettuce: Slice the
Pancetta as thin as possible on a meat slicer and wrap lettuce with
it. Heat a heavy skillet with olive oil and let smoke lightly. Add the
wrapped lettuce and garlic cloves and turn down heat to cook until
golden brown to create crispy lettuce. Remove from oil and reserve at
room temperature. Discard half of the oil and the garlic cloves.
Reserve half of the oil in the pan. Preparation of the Porcini
Mushrooms: Slice the cleaned mushrooms into thick slices. Season well
and brush with olive oil. Grill well on both sides until mushrooms are
tender, about three minutes per side depending on the size. Keep warm.
Preparation of the Vinaigrette: Heat the oil from cooking the lettuce
in a skillet, add leaves of oregano until they fry. Add brown chicken
sauce, sherry vinegar, and olive oil. Serve hot over the mushrooms,
beans, and lettuce. Yield: 4 servings Recipe By : Chef du Jour Posted
