Sea Parsley Salad With Rice Wine Vinaigrette Recipes

MINT AND PARSLEY SALAD WITH RICE

Steps:

• Wash and rinse the basmati rice. Cook the rice in plenty of boiling salted water for about 10 to 20 minutes. (Some brands that claim not to be parboiled or precooked now take as little as 8 to 10 minutes, so read the information on the package and watch the rice carefully so it does not overcook.) When it is just tender, drain quickly and leave to cool.
• Just before serving, mix the rice with the parsley, mint, and scallions. Dress with a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well. Serve on a flat plate, topped with the diced tomato lightly seasoned with salt.
• Garnish, if you like, with a ring of lettuce leaves stuck around the edges of the salad.

Add oranges, shrimp and pimientos to dressing; toss to coat. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour., Just before serving, toss the shrimp mixture with lettuces and onions.

MUSSELS IN PARSLEY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine; bring to a boil. Add the mussels; cover and cook, stirring once, until the mussels open, about 3 minutes. Discard unopened shells.
• Remove the mussels with a slotted spoon; discard the cooking liquid. Chill the mussels in a bowl in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
• Whisk together the mustard, chopped shallots, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Pour in the remaining 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in the parsley. The vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
