Carpaccio On Crostini With Arugula Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toast the pine nuts in a saute pan over medium-high heat until golden in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and reserve.
• Arrange the pancetta in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to cool.
• Combine the toasted pine nuts, garlic and Parmesan in a food processor; pulse to finely chop. Add the arugula and continue to pulse until finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil; process until incorporated. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, and pulse to combine.
• Spoon a nice dollop of pesto onto each slice of baguette, top with a pancetta crisp and serve.

Steps:

• Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and reduce it to 1/2 cup, stir in the honey. Let cool.
• Toss arugula with vinegar and oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay out 1 slice of beef on a flat surface. Place 1 slice of cheese and two tablespoons of the arugula in the middle of the beef and roll up tightly. Repeat with the remaining beef. Place on platter and drizzle with balsamic reduction.

Steps:

• Wrap beef in plastic, and chill in freezer until firm, about 1 hour. Using a very sharp knife, cut beef across the grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Gently pound slices between pieces of waxed paper. Refrigerate beef slices between pieces of waxed paper 1 hour (up to 2 hours).
• Whisk together oil, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Cut pears into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Toss with 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a bowl. Arrange beef in a single layer on serving plates. Drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss arugula with the dressing, and arrange over beef. Arrange pears over arugula. Top with Parmesan; drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Finely chop 1/4 cup of the arugula. Combine in a bowl with the butter, chives, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Heat 4 tablespoons of the arugula butter mixture in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crabs and cook, without moving, until crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat the broiler. Place the bread on a baking sheet and run under the broiler until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that they don't burn.) Spread the toasted bread with the remaining butter and each slice with a crab. Thinly slice the remaining arugula and sprinkle on top of each serving.

Steps:

• 1.Wrap each piece of beef in foil and chill in the freezer for 1to 2 hours, until about to freeze. 2. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Remove the beef from the freezer, unwrap, and slice paper-thin. Flatten the slices by pounding them between two pieces of waxed paper. Cut the slices into 1-1/2" pieces. 3. Tear the arugula leaves into pieces and place a piece on each crostini. Top with a piece of beef and drizzle on a Iirtle of the olive oil and lemon dressing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and garnish with the Parmigiano Reggiano shavings. Crostini: 1. Slice the baguettes into 1/2" slices. 2. Set under pre-heated broiler and toast until lightly browned on both sides. If serving the same day, rub the bread slices with 1to 2 large garlic cloves, sliced in half lengthwise, then brush with 2 to 3 tbsp (25 to 45. ml) olive oil. If making in advance, let cool, then keep in an airtight container for up to two days. Rub with garlic and brush with olive oil before topping.
