Frisee Salad And Tomato Tartan Recipes

FRISEE SALAD WITH DIJON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a blender (or screw-top jar), combine vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, and blend well to combine. Add oil, and blend until combined and thickened.
• Place frisee and chives in a large serving bowl; toss with vinaigrette, and serve.

TOMATO AND BASIL TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the tomatoes in the skillet with the vegetable oil, salt and pepper, and honey or sugar. Arrange together as tightly as possible. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the bread crumbs - this will soak up some of the juice which come out of the tomatoes during cooking. On a well-floured counter, roll out a circle of puff pastry the same size as the top of the skillet. Place the puff pastry over the tomatoes, tucking it around them so the tomatoes are encased. Brush the pastry with the lightly beaten egg on the top only. It does seem a bit pointless, as this will be the underneath of the tart, but I like that bit of extra crunch that it adds to the pastry and it looks so much more presentable for that minute before you turn it upside down!
• Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is well puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes, then tip away the excess liquid (if any) and put a large plate upside down on top of the skillet. Using oven gloves, press the plate down hard and then quickly flip the whole thing so the skillet is upside down and the plate is on the bottom. I do this over the sink because there is usually some leakage! Remove the skillet. Once the tart is cold, rip up some basil or mint leaves and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper if required. Serve cold with cold meats, cheeses, olives, or salads.

FRISEE SALAD

Steps:

• Position an oven rack to the top position and preheat the broiler. Cut the cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices. Slice 12 long 1/2-inch diagonal slices from the baguette, then top with cheese slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet and set aside. .
• Whisk the vinegar, shallot, sugar, egg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed medium skillet over medium heat and cook the pancetta, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve the drippings in the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
• Add the vinegar mixture to the drippings in the skillet, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Put the frisee in a large bowl and pour the warm dressing over it and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Broil the bread until the cheese is just soft, about 1 minute. Transfer the salad to serving plates, then top with radishes, pecans and pancetta. Top each salad with 3 blue cheese crostini.

FRISEE SALAD WITH ROASTED GARLIC DRESSING

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette:
• Combine the garlic, vinegar, mustard, honey, lime juice and salt and pepper, to taste, in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified.
• For the salad:
• Place the frisee in a large bowl, add 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper, to taste and toss to coat. Put the tomatoes in a bowl, add a few tablespoons of the dressing, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat.
• Divide the frisee among 4 to 6 large plates, arrange 3 of the tomato quarters around the perimeter of each plate. Garnish with shaved cheese and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve.
