Radicchio And Apple Salad With Parmesan Crisps Recipes

RADICCHIO AND APPLE SALAD WITH PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. On a silicone mat-lined baking sheet, divide 4 ounces grated Parmesan into 8 mounds. (Alternatively, line with parchment paper and coat with nonstick spray.) Press with your fingers to flatten. Bake until cheese is golden and melted, 6-8 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let cool; break crisps into coarse pieces.
• Heat honey in a small skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Whisk honey, shallot, oil, vinegar, and mustard in a large bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper.
• Add radicchio, arugula, apple, and remaining grated Parmesan to vinaigrette; toss to coat. Season with sea salt and pepper. Serve topped with crisps.

ITALIAN SALAD WITH PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• For the Parmesan crisps: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place 6 tablespoon-size mounds of cheese on the parchment a few inches from one another; they will spread as they begin to melt. Bake until the cheese has completely melted, about 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the crisps to a baking rack to cool completely before assembling the salad.
• For the green olive dressing: Combine the olive oil, olives, lemon zest and juice, mustard, salt and pepper in a mason jar, twist the lid on tight and shake until emulsified.
• For the salad: On a large platter, layer the radicchio leaves with the arugula. Tuck in the citrus pieces. Give the dressing one more good shake and drizzle it over the salad. Garnish with the Parmesan crisps and serve.

CRISPY PARMESAN EGGS WITH RADICCHIO AND PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a bowl with water and ice. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add peas and blanch for 1 minute. Drain the peas well and add to ice water to cool for a minute or two. Drain, pat dry, and halve the peas.
• Make the dressing: Combine lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper and red-pepper flakes in small mixing bowl. Whisk in olive oil, then taste and add more lemon juice or salt, or both, if needed. Set aside.
• Cook the eggs: Brush a thin layer of olive oil over the bottom of a 10-inch nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet and place over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan in an even layer covering the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes until cheese begins to melt.
• Crack eggs onto cheese, then cover pan and cook until eggs are starting to set but are not cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and turn heat to medium-high to finish cooking eggs for another 1 to 2 minutes, until edges are crisp and golden brown. Make sure the cheese doesn't get too brown; if it goes past light golden, turn down heat.
• Season eggs with salt and pepper to taste. While eggs are cooking, in a large mixing bowl, toss remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan, snap peas, radicchio, olives, cherry tomatoes and cucumber with the dressing. Taste and add salt or lemon juice, if needed. To serve, spread radicchio salad on large serving platter and place eggs on top. Grind on more pepper and garnish with anchovy fillets if you'd like.
