Wild-Mushroom BundlesJohn Kernick

Sturdy forest-green collards provide the wrapping for buttery, juicy mushrooms. Elegance comes easily when it comes to these bundles, since they can be assembled a day ahead.

Cooks notes:

Bundles can be assembled and put in baking dish 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring to room temperature before heating.
