Hagensborg ChocolatesBY NATASHA COUSIN

hen Shelley Wallace started taking over then-named Hagensborg Foods in 2006, she began by reimagining

their award-winning truffle chocolate bar. Not knowing much about truffles (neither the chocolatey nor the fungal type), she did some research and was amused by the idea of pigs running through the woods hunting truffles (the fungal type). So she created some truffle pigs of her own, whimsical swine bars filled with smooth chocolate truffle in a handful of flavours including hazelnut, mint, raspberry and peanut butter.

"Our piggies have quite the personality," Shelley says.

In fact, the whole company does – Shelley even refers to herself as “chief porker.” The porcine theme continued the next year when Shelley launched single origin Wild Boar bars after being inspired by chocolate culture on a trip to Paris.

"Single origin means you can trace where the bean comes from,” she says. Like coffee or wine, chocolate flavour differs regionally due to particular environments and soil, explains Shelley. The majority of chocolate purchased in the world is a mixture from Ghana and the Ivory Coast. It’s like taking all the red wine from France, Spain and Italy and bottling it as “European wine.” By having a single origin chocolate, you’re getting a better flavour, she says.

That’s why she decided to start sourcing Farm to Bar chocolate from Nicaragua. There the beans are of heirloom quality which dates back to the Mayans who originally discovered cocoa. She traveled there mid-January to meet the high-quality cocoa bean farmers and follow their process from cultivating plants to the finished product. She also plans to pay ten per cent above world market prices and pay the farmers directly.

“People are starting to recognize where cocoa comes from, which is a good thing,” Shelley says. “I want to get to know my farmers.”

Watch for new truffle pig recipes made with ethically traded farm to bar chocolate in our markets this spring.

FEATURE RECIPE

@sunterrAmarket/sunterrAmarket @sunterrAmarket

SERVES 6

5 cups assorted fresh mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, portobello, oyster, king oyster)2 tbsp canola oil1 cup onions or shallots, finely chopped1 tsp garlic, chopped2 sprigs fresh thyme, roughly chopped2 tbsp butter cubes3 tbsp chives2 cups spinach12 slices sourdough bread12 eggsCracked black pepper and sea salt to taste

Just before cooking, wash the mushrooms by dusting them with flour and then rinsing them in cold water. The flour acts as an abrasive to help remove dirt. Towel dry the mushrooms and slice them a quarter inch thick.

Heat oil in a wide pan and sauté the onions, garlic and thyme until the onions turn golden brown. Turn up the heat and add firm mushrooms such as king oysters, portobellos and shiitakes. Sauté briskly until they are brown and slightly wilted. Add the delicate mushrooms such as cremini and oyster mushrooms and sauté until they turn brown and any liquid has evaporated. For browned, caramelized mushrooms make sure your pan is wide and that you do not add in all the mushrooms at once, or the pan will fill with water from the mushrooms and they will boil rather than sauté.

Stir in the butter, chives and spinach and toss well until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and season with cracked black pepper and sea salt.

Toast the bread and cook the eggs to your preference (fry, poach or scramble). Top each slice of toast with 2 tbsp of sautéed mushrooms and one egg. Sprinkle sea salt and chili flakes on the egg and serve.
