Ingredients
1 head garlic
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound chanterelle mushrooms, trimmed
2 leeks, white and tender green part only, chopped
1 cup freshly shelled green peas (from ¾ pound unshelled)
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim garlic head about 1 inch from top, exposing cloves. Place on a piece of aluminum foil, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and wrap tightly with foil. Roast until cloves are soft and golden brown, about 1 hour. Unwrap, and allow to cool to room temperature. Squeeze roasted garlic out of bulb, and mix with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside.
- Step 2
Tear any large chanterelles into pieces, and reserve. In a large skillet, heat remaining olive oil, and saute leeks with salt and pepper until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chanterelles, and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add peas and a tablespoon of water if mixture looks dry. Cover pan, and cook over low heat until peas are just tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in roasted garlic mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
