Grilled Mushroom Salad With Pecan Vinaigrette Recipes

GRILLED MUSHROOM SALAD WITH MUSTARD SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To prepare the mushrooms, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of olive oil with the minced garlic, fresh herbs, lemon juice and salt and pepper in a bowl large enough to hold the mushroom caps. Toss the mushroom caps in the grilling marinade and grill over indirect or mediumlow heat until cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for the Shiitakes. While the mushrooms are still warm, slice them coarsely into large chunky slices. Combine the sliced mushrooms with the frisJe lettuce or chicory salad and toss with the vinaigrette.;

GRILLED MUSHROOM AND MALANGA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms. Add the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, shallots, scallions, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 1 hour.
• Prepare a hot fire in the grill.
• Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and reserve the marinade for later. Place a vegetable/fish grill rack on the grate. Place the mushrooms on the rack and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. The portobellos may require a bit more time on the grill. When the mushrooms are cooked, transfer to a plate and let cool. Cut them into 1/2-inch pieces and transfer them with any accumulated juices to the reserved balsamic marinade. Toss to coat.
• To prepare malanga, cube 2 pounds and set the remaining 1/2 pound aside. Add the 2 pounds cubed malanga to a large pot of boiling salted water and boil for 8 to 10 minutes, until the malanga is tender but still holds its shape. Drain, plunge into ice water to stop the cooking, and drain again. Transfer to the bowl with the mushrooms. Add the goat cheese and truffle oil and gently toss to mix all ingredients.
• To prepare the remaining 1/2 pound malanga, slice very thin using a mandoline, any vegetable slicer, or box grater. Cut the slices crosswise into fine strips with a sharp knife.
• In a medium-size saute pan, heat the oil to 350 degrees and fry the malanga until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• To serve, spoon the mushroom salad over the tomato slices and sprinkle with the fried malanga.

Put the tomatoes on the grill skin side down and grill until juicy and charred, about 6 minutes. Grill the romaine, turning to slightly char all sides, until the core end is tender, about 5 minutes.

Let steaks stand for 5 minutes after grilling before cutting into thin slices.
• To serve, mix baby greens with shaved carrot and radishes in a salad bowl and divide onto 4 large serving plates. Lay slices of beef in a spoke pattern on top of greens and sprinkle each salad generously with candied pecans. Whisk dressing and drizzle over salads, distributing a few cherries onto each salad.
