   Prepare 6 artichokes heart.

   Finely chop 2 shallots.
5. 2 min.
   Melt 25 g butter in a pan, add the chopped shallots, salt, pepper and cook for one or two minutes.
6. 10 min.
   Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper, and bring to the boil covered.

    Add the 300 ml dry white wine, and reduce by 4/5 over a low heat.

    Pour the contents of the pan through a fine strainer. Keep just the reduced liquid and return this to the pan.

    Put the pan back on low heat and reduce until only 1 or 2 tablespoonsful of liquid remain.

    Reheat the duxelle of mushrooms, bacon, and artichoke hearts.
    
    Place all the serving plates in front of you; from here on you must work as fast as possible.
