Broiled Celery And Cherry Tomatoes With Shaved Parmesan Recipes

BROILED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat your broiler on high. Position an oven rack 6 inches below the heating element (not directly below).
• Cut the tomatoes in half. Cut a tiny sliver from the bottom of each half, so that the tomatoes can stand upright without wobbling.
• Spray the tomatoes all over with olive oil. Place them on a broiler-safe rimmed baking dish, cut side up.
• Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Top with Parmesan, 2 tablespoons for each tomato half.
• Broil until the cheese is golden brown, 3-5 minutes.

CELERY AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• At least 1 hour before you plan to serve the salad, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, the shallots, celery seed, celery salt, anchovy paste, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Place the celery in a mixing bowl and toss it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. (Even though these ingredients are in the dressing, believe me-this step makes a difference.) Add enough dressing to moisten well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the celery to crisp and the flavors to develop.
• When ready to serve, arrange the celery on a platter, shave the Parmesan onto the celery with a vegetable peeler, then sprinkle with walnuts, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH PROSCIUTTO, PINE NUTS AND SHAVED PARMESAN

Steps:

GRILLED BITTER GREENS WITH SHAVED PARMESAN
