Frisee Salad With Roasted Garlic Dressing Recipes

FRISEE SALAD WITH CHORIZO AND ROASTED GARLIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, cook the sausage over low heat for 10 minutes, shaking frequently. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towels and set aside. Place the frisee, tomatoes, cheese and cooked chorizo in a large bowl and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Toss well to coat and serve on chilled plates with rings of red onion on top.
• Combine the garlic, vinegar, honey and lime juice in a blender and puree until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
• To roast garlic: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over unpeeled garlic cloves, and wrap in aluminum foil. Place on a cookie sheet and bake about 1 hour, or until soft throughout. Set aside to cool, then peel.

FRISEE SALAD WITH WARM VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Fill a large skillet with water, bring it to a boil, and add the vinegar and a large pinch of salt. Reduce the heat until the water is just barely bubbling. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully slide the egg into the water. Cook until the eggs are set, about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and dab the bottom with paper towels to dry them off; set aside and keep warm.
• Put the bacon and shallots into a cold skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and cook over medium heat until the bacon is browned and crisp; be careful not to let it burn. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and set aside. Meanwhile, get a jar with a tight fitting lid. Add the mustard, remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Shake well to combine the ingredients, add the chives, taste, and season with salt and pepper.
• Put the frisee into a large bowl and toss it with the dressing the cooked bacon and shallots. To serve, place a large mound of salad onto a plate and top with a poached egg. Garnish with some chives and a drizzle of olive oil.

ROASTED GARLIC SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• To Roast Garlic: Cut 1/4" off tops of garlic heads, drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Wrap in foil and bake 45 minutes or until soft.
• Take baked garlic heads and squeeze out garlc into a small bowl. Mash until smooth.
• Combine all ingredients in a food processor(garlic through sea salt). Process until smooth. This will store in a fridge up to one week, but I always use it up in a few days. This goes great on salads(I like spinach salad with cucumber, and red pepper).

FRISéE SALAD WITH POACHED EGG

Steps:

• Combine the lettuce, herbs, red pepper and croutons in a large bowl.
• Poach the eggs. Fill a lidded frying pan with water, and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar to the water. One at a time, break the eggs into a teacup, then tip from the teacup into the pan (do this in batches if necessary). Immediately turn off the heat under the pan and cover tightly. Leave for four minutes. Lay a clean dish towel next to the pan, and using a slotted spoon or spatula, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water. Set on the towel to drain.
• Whisk together the vinegars, salt, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the oil. Toss with the salad until thoroughly coated, and distribute among six salad plates. Top each serving with a poached egg. Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with some thyme leaves and serve.
