Wild-Mushroom Bundles

Ingredients

• 8 large collard greens thick
• 0.5 cup wine dry white
• 1 pound mushrooms wild mixed fresh such as chanterelle, oyster, and cremini, trimmed and cut into wedges (6 cups)
• 1 teaspoon garlic minced
• 2 tablespoons shallots minced
• 5 tablespoons butter unsalted divided

Equipment

• bowl
• paper towels
• sauce pan
• oven
• pot
• baking pan
• aluminum foil

Directions

1. Cook collards in a large pot of boiling water with 1 tablespoon salt until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes, then drain.
2. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then spread leaves, undersides up, on paper towels, overlapping cut edges slightly, and pat dry.
3. Bring wine to a boil with shallot, garlic, 4 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a heavy medium saucepan.
4. Add mushrooms and cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 12 minutes. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish, then strain mushroom juices into baking dish, reserving mushrooms.
5. Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third.
6. Mound about 1/4 cup mushrooms in center of each collard leaf. Fold leaves to enclose filling and arrange bundles, seam sides down, in 1 layer in baking dish. Dot with remaining tablespoon butter and cover with foil.
7. Heat in oven until bundles are hot and juices are bubbling, about 20 minutes.
