1 lbs mushrooms (assorted and cleaned)

1 tbsp butter

3 minced shallots

In a large pan, melt butter and sautee about 2/3rds of the shallots until translucent.

Add mushrooms and sautee until tender and released moisture evaporates.

2 slices of the best bacon you can find

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp sherry vinegar

2 tbsp whole grain mustard

Salt and pepper

Greens (radicchio, arugula, spinach, whatever!)

In a separate pan, cook bacon until brown and crisp. Remove from heat and stir in remaining shallots, olive oil, vinegar and mustard.

Transfer bacon mixture to a large bowl and toss with the mushrooms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add greens and toss to coat with dressing. Serve immediately.
