Endive And Asian Pear Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Add the egg yolks and white wine vinegar to a food processor. With the blade running, gradually add the canola oil, little by little, until the mixture is emulsified. Season with kosher salt. If the aioli is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Spoon the aioli into a bowl and set aside. Combine the wasabi powder and a little water in a small bowl. Add to the aioli and stir to combine. Season with kosher salt. Transfer to a pastry bag and set aside.
• To another food processor bowl, add the parsley and pulse to combine. Add the coarse sea salt and process until the parsley is fully incorporated with the salt.
• Toss the endives and pear in a small bowl and set aside.
• Set up a deep-fryer with canola oil and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a plate with a paper towel.
• Combine the panko and crushed wasabi peas together in a bowl. Add the flour to a second bowl and whole eggs to a third; whisk the eggs with a bit of water. Dredge the oysters in the flour first, then egg, and finally the panko-wasabi mixture. Fry the oysters until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel and season immediately with kosher salt.
• To plate, add 3 mounds of parsley salt on the bottom of a rectangular plate. Nestle 3 shells into each salt mound. Pipe 1 dollop of wasabi aioli into each shell. Add a small bit of the endive and pear salad. Top each with a fried oyster. Add 1 more dollop of wasabi aioli. Garnish with crushed wasabi peas.

Steps:

• Trim off the core end of each head of endive and slice it in half lengthwise. Cut out the cores, separate the leaves, and place 1 1/2 to 2 heads of endive on each plate.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, egg yolk, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Toss the pears with some vinaigrette and place on the endive. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the endive leaves to moisten them. Crumble the Roquefort onto the endive. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups. Dust with flour; shake out excess. Place dishes in roasting pan. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup flour; whisk 1 minute. Gradually add milk and whisk until mixture is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and whisk until melted and smooth. Whisk in egg yolks, pepper, and kosher salt. Cool soufflé base 15 minutes.
• Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into soufflé base in 2 additions (mixture will be runny). Divide soufflé among prepared dishes. Pour enough hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of dishes. Bake until soufflés are slightly puffed and golden on top, about 35 minutes (soufflés may not rise above rim of dishes). (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Remove soufflés from water bath; let stand at room temperature. Place soufflé dishes on baking sheet and rewarm in 350°F oven 10 minutes.)
• Divide Endive and Asian Pear Salad among 6 plates. Place 1 soufflé dish alongside salad on each plate and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Halve and core pear and thinly slice lengthwise. Cut endives crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide slices and tear chicory into bite-size pieces. In a bowl toss greens with pear and vinaigrette.
