Endive Salad With Egg And Anchovy Recipes

WARM ENDIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan or large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
• Brush endive on both sides with oil, season with salt and pepper then grill until dark around edges and endives are tender; about 3 minutes on each side. Arrange grilled endives on platter. Sprinkle the endive with white wine vinegar. Keep a finger over the top of bottle to control the flow if the bottle does not have a jigger top. Arrange walnut bits and grapes around the platter and serve.

ENDIVE SALAD WITH EGG AND ANCHOVY

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Pound together (or hand chop) garlic and 4 anchovy fillets to make a rough paste. Transfer mixture to a small bowl.
• Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, zest and Dijon mustard and stir well. Season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk in olive oil. Taste and adjust lemon juice, salt and pepper. Just before preparing salad, taste vinaigrette again and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Cut the bottoms off of endives and discard any withered outer leaves. Separate the leaves and pile them in a large salad bowl. (Cut the hearts in half or quarters lengthwise.) Add the radicchio, if using.
• Just before serving, sprinkle leaves lightly with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss gently, then distribute among six to eight plates. Garnish each plate with an egg cut in half or into quarters, and an anchovy fillet, then drizzle plates with remaining dressing.

ENDIVE EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Place eggs in single layer in 2-quart saucepan. Cover with cold water at least 1 inch above eggs. Cover saucepan; heat to boiling. Remove from heat; let stand covered 15 minutes. Drain. Immediately place eggs in cold water with ice cubes or run cold water over eggs until completely cooled.
• To peel, gently tap each egg on countertop until entire shell is finely crackled. Roll gently between hands to loosen shell. Starting at large end, peel egg under cold water to help remove shell.
• In medium bowl, chop eggs with knife or pastry blender. Add mayonnaise, curry powder, salt and pepper; mix with fork until blended. Spoon egg salad into endive leaves; sprinkle with onion.

WHOLE ENDIVE SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING

Steps:

• Croutons: Heat oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium-low. Add brioche cubes and cook, stirring often, until golden and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; let cool completely. Croutons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
• Salad: With the side of a knife, mash anchovies and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a paste. In a small skillet, heat oil and garlic over medium until garlic is sizzling and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; remove garlic with a slotted spoon and reserve for another use. Return skillet to medium heat and add anchovy mixture. Cook, stirring, until mixture dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; slowly whisk in lemon juice. Let cool completely.
• In a large bowl, toss endive leaves with dressing; lightly season with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 plates and serve, topped with croutons and pepper.
