  3. 3 Remove porcini from the water and use a damp paper towel to remove any grit. Reserve soaking water.
  4. 4 Add porcini to the Dutch oven with miso paste and yeast extract. Stir well and reduce heat to a simmer.
  5. 5 Add broccoli; put floret heads facing down and stem pieces nestled in so they are touching the bottom of the pot. Layer radicchio slices evenly on top. Pour in wine without disturbing the vegetables. Cover and simmer, occasionally shaking the pan gently, for 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Meanwhile, bring 2 cups water, vegetable broth, and salt to a boil. Sprinkle fistfuls of polenta into the boiling liquid while stirring constantly so clumps don't form. Continue to stir in polenta until completely added. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, until polenta is thick and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Strain the reserved soaking water, twice if necessary, to remove any sediment.
  8. 8 Pour 1/2 of the soaking water into the Dutch oven with the broccoli. Gently shake the pot and use a wooden spoon to carefully loosen the florets without breaking them apart. Gently fold vegetables over until coated with cooking sauce. Continue to simmer, uncovered, occasionally shaking the pot. Cook until broccoli is tender but still firm to the touch and radicchio is completely wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. 9 Pour polenta onto a lightly oiled polenta board and spread it evenly over the board. Use a slotted spoon to gently spoon vegetables over the polenta.
  10. 10 Pour remaining soaking water into the Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Make a slurry with the remaining water and cornstarch; pour into the Dutch oven while whisking constantly. Cook until sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour sauce over the broccoli and polenta or serve on the side.

Pour in red wine; increase heat to medium-high. Simmer until wine is reduced and very little liquid remains. Transfer onion mixture to the pot; season with paprika, thyme, bay leaf, caraway seeds, allspice, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine and evenly distribute.
  6. 6 Cover pot tightly; simmer over medium-low heat until meat is tender, 1 to 1 ½ hours, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool stew slightly. Refrigerate to let flavors blend, 8 hours to overnight.
  7. 7 Place pot over low to medium-low heat; add splash of water. Bring stew to a low simmer, stirring occasionally; cook until hot, 10 to 15 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine sea salt, porcini mushrooms, thyme, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a food processor; blend until thoroughly mixed. Pour seasoning mixture into a bowl.
  2. 2 Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, and dill in the food processor; blend, pouring in canola oil and olive oil in a steady stream until aioli is thick and smooth.
  3. 3 Combine sliced onions, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in an airtight container. Let marinate, at least 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  5. 5 Spread buns on grill and toast until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a serving platter. Spread some aioli over each half.
  6. 6 Shape ground beef into 6 large patties. Sprinkle seasoning mixture generously over both sides.
  7. 7 Increase grill heat to high. Grill patties until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 4 minutes per side.
  8. 8 Place 1 cooked patty on the bottom of each toasted bun. Top each with 3 tablespoons goat cheese, 2 tomato slices, 1 heaping tablespoon pickled red onions, and 1/2 cup arugula. Cover with top half of the bun.
