Escarole Salad With Anchovy Garlic Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, peel lemon zest in long strips. With a very sharp knife, slice strips into a fine julienne. Squeeze 1 tablespoon juice.
• In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, garlic, anchovies, and mustard. Slowly whisk in oil in a steady stream until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine zest, escarole, and olives in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons dressing; toss to combine. Add more dressing as desired; serve. (Extra dressing can be stored in refrigerator up to 2 days.)

Steps:

• Make lemon-basil oil:
• Mix 1/3 cup olive oil, a strip of lemon zest, 8 torn basil leaves and a pinch of salt; infuse 2 hours. Soak 1/2 thinly sliced red onion in water for 10 minutes to mellow the bite. When ready to serve, toss 1 head chopped escarole, the onion slices, 2 sliced celery stalks, 3/4 cup chopped green olives and a few tablespoons olive juice, 2 segmented lemons and 1/4 cup each toasted pine nuts and golden raisins in a serving bowl. Discard the zest from the infused oil, drizzle over the salad and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Combine 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 4 minced anchovies and 1 grated garlic clove in a large bowl. Whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 chopped small head escarole, 2 cups mixed baby lettuce and 1 cup fresh parsley; toss. Top with croutons.

Steps:

• Whisk together the honey, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, and then stream in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the escarole.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken, skin-side down, and cook without moving until the pieces are golden brown and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook until well browned on the other side, another 5 to 8 minutes.
• Move the chicken to one side of the skillet and tilt the skillet a little so that the fat and drippings pool on one side. Add the anchovies and let them sizzle a bit to melt down. Add the croutons, along with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss them to coat in the anchovy-chicken fat.
• Place the skillet in the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through and croutons are golden brown and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the grated garlic, lemon juice and soy sauce in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Place escarole and parsley in a large bowl or on a platter and dress with lemon-garlic mixture. Season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice if you like. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and shave some pecorino over the whole thing.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest a minute or two. Cut the meat off the bone and thinly slice. Place on top of the salad, along with the croutons. Top each serving with an egg yolk, if using, and more anchovies, if you like.

Steps:

• Place the first nine ingredients in a blender; cover and process until smooth. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Transfer to a small bowl or jar; cover and store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a large wooden salad bowl, mash the anchovies with a fork until they form a paste. Whisk in mustard and vinegar. Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to create an emulsion. Adjust the seasonings with and salt and black pepper, to taste. Add the escarole, green onions and olives to the bowl and gently toss to coat the leaves with the dressing. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the dressing:
• In a blender blend together the garlic paste, the anchovy, the vinegar, the lemon juice, the mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. With the motor running add the oil in a stream and blend the dressing well.
• In a large bowl combine the escarole, the spinach, the onion, and the dressing and toss the salad until it is combined well.

Steps:

• Place lemon juice, anchovies, garlic, kosher salt and red-pepper flakes in a medium bowl.
• Stir (don't whisk) in the olive oil.
• Season to taste with salt and several good grinds on the pepper mill for a bright, bracing dressing. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
