Directions
GARNISH
In a large saute pan or skillet, combine the leeks, garlic, fennel, mushrooms, sherry/wine/stock, thyme, and salt and cook uncovered over medium heat until the mushrooms are just tender, about 5 minutes. The leeks and fennel will still be fairly firm. Let cool at room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the mushroom mixture, 1½ of the Persimmon, celery root, grains, and nuts. Fold in the dressing, mixing well. Add the salt, pepper, and parsley. Pour onto a serving platter or individual plates and garnish with the tarragon, parsley, and reserved ½ persimmon.
