CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI SALAD WITH GINGER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Trim away and discard the core of the cauliflower. Break the cauliflower into flowerettes.
• Cut the broccoli into flowerets. Peel the large stems and cut them into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Rinse and drain.
• In a saucepan large enough to hold the cauliflower and broccoli, bring enough water to a boil to cover the vegetables. Add salt. Add the cauliflower and simmer 6 minutes, then add the broccoli pieces. When the water returns to a boil, lower the heat and let simmer about 3 minutes.
• Drain well. Let cool.
• Put the mustard and vinegar in a bowl and whisk in the oil. Stir in the ginger and parsley or coriander. Add the cauliflower and broccoli, salt and pepper, toss and serve.

STEAMED HALIBUT FILLETS WITH SCALLION GINGER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the scallions, ginger, parsley, garlic, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste in a food processor or blender. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped. But the ingredients should retain some texture.
• Add the quartered egg and process briefly until coarsely blended.
• Pour water into the bottom of a steamer. Season the fillets with salt and coarsely ground pepper. Place them on a steamer rack. Lay one lemon slice over each fillet. Cover, bring the water to a boil and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Transfer the fish fillets to a serving plate and place some sauce over them. The dish can be served cold or at room temperature. Serve over a bed of sauteed spinach leaves.

MIXED SALAD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make sure you have enough different greens to provide a salad of varied texture and color. Wash and dry greens thoroughly in a salad spinner. Tear the leaves with your hands; if the leaves are small, use them whole.
• In a large salad bowl, place mustard, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend well.
• Add the oil in a steady stream, whisking with a wire whisk until well blended. Since vinegar varies greatly in strength, taste to see if the vinaigrette has enough punch. Add more vinegar if necessary.
• Add the greens, toss well with the vinaigrette and serve with the tuna.
