Water

60 g

Pancetta

1

Salt

Directions:

1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites and sugar; set aside

2

Gently heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until barely simmering

3

Remove from heat and add the yeast, stirring until smooth

4

Stir the cream into the egg mixture and whisk in the flour, followed by 2 tablespoons olive oil

5

Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour

6

Combine the juice of 1 lemon and 2 cups water in a large bowl

7

Trim the artichoke stems, snap off the outer leaves until the remaining leaves are half yellow and half green

8

Cut off the remaining green parts and drop into the lemon water

9

Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat

10

When the pan is hot but not smoking, add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute

11

Drain the artichokes and add them to the pan along with the juice of 1/2 a lemon

12

Reduce the heat to medium and season with salt and pepper

13

Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the artichokes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes

14

Transfer to a plate

15

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan

16

Add the mushrooms and shallot and season with salt and pepper

17

Cook for 3 minutes, tossing frequently

18

Add the arugula and 1/4 of the radicchio, season with salt and pepper, and cook, while tossing constantly, until the arugula and radicchio have wilted, about 2 minutes

19

Transfer the vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate

20

When cool, coarsely chop the mushroom mixture

21

Meanwhile, center a rack in the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F

22

Put a 8-inch round cake pan on a baking sheet

23

Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray

24

Stir the mushroom mixture into the clafoutis batter and season with salt and pepper

25

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the artichoke-pancetta mixture on top

26

Cover with the remaining batter (the pan should be about 3/4 full)

27

Bake until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes

28

Whisk together the remaining lemon juice and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil

29

Toss the remaining radicchio with the lemon vinaigrette and season, to taste, with salt and pepper

30

To serve, unmold the clafoutis, reinvert right side up, cut into 6 wedges and serve hot, with the radicchio salad
