GARNISH
Fresh tarragon leaves
Chopped fresh parsley

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, 1 1/2 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 1/2 persimmon.
