WARM MUSHROOM AND CHICORIES SALAD
This gorgeous jewel-toned salad can star on the holiday table or at an elevated lunch. Sturdy shiitake and oyster mushrooms are seared in a dry pan for a less oily finish and more robust flavor. They're tossed with bitter chicories, quick-pickled shallots, toasted hazelnuts, pomegranate arils, and anchovy paste-and the mild sweetness of white balsamic vinegar ties everything together in the vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place nuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until darkened slightly with a nutty aroma, 10 to 12 minutes. When cool enough to handle, coarsely chop.
- In a small bowl, combine shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon water; season with salt and pepper. Heat a dry medium skillet over medium-high; add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring a few times, until mushrooms are golden brown in places and a film forms on bottom of skillet, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar. Cook until mushrooms are caramelized and fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a large bowl; cover to keep warm.
- Return skillet to medium heat. Drain shallots, pouring shallot liquid into skillet, and set aside. Stir mustard, anchovies, and lemon zest into skillet to combine. Slowly whisk in remaining 1/4 cup oil and cook just to warm through, about 20 seconds.
- Transfer to bowl with mushroom mixture, along with chicories. Toss to evenly coat and season to taste. Top with pickled shallots, chopped hazelnuts, and pomegranate arils; serve.
