Recipe Introduction


SERVE OVER PASTA


List of Ingredients




3 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms (such as oyster, crimini, and stemmed shiitake), sliced
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
2/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives
3 plum tomatoes, seeded, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 tablespoon drained capers
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) chilled butter
1 cup teardrop tomatoes (red and yellow)

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
Caper berries, halved (optional)



Recipe



Add 3 tablespoons oil to skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until wilted and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add broth; boil until almost all liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add olives, plum tomatoes, garlic, shallot, and capers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 7 minutes. Add butter; stir until melted. Mix in teardrop tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Sprinkle parsley and pine nuts over. Garnish with caper berries, if desired, and serve.

Market tip: Capers are flower buds from the caper bush, and caper berries are the fruit. They are about the size of an olive, and are usually pickled and sold in jars. They can be found at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

Makes 8 servings.
