Green Salad With Goat Cheese Artichoke Hearts And Migas Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium pot, bring milk and cream to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, place greens, herbs, cheese, salt and pepper in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Once the hot milk mixture comes to a simmer, pour over greens and purée until smooth. Pour into a bowl and let cool completely. Once cool, whisk in 6 eggs.
• Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Scatter bread cubes over bottom of pan. Pour custard over bread and press down so the bread absorbs the custard. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. If you can, stir bread cubes after an hour or so to encourage an even distribution of custard.
• When you are ready to bake the strata, heat oven to 350 degrees. Tuck the goat cheese rounds into and on top of the strata. Transfer pan to oven and bake until top is beginning to firm up but is still slightly wet underneath, about 25 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and use a spoon to make 6 evenly spaced indentations on the surface of the strata. Crack an egg into each hole and season with salt and pepper. Return pan to oven and continue to bake until strata is cooked through and eggs are just set, 20 to 25 minutes more. Sprinkle with Aleppo or Turkish pepper if desired.

In a skillet, saute the bacon over a medium-high heat until most of the fat has been rendered and the bacon is golden and beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and pour off the fat into a glass-measuring cup. Remove the bacon from the pan and let drain on paper towels. In the skillet, with its thin coat of bacon fat, add the garlic and shallots and cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring, until dissolved. Scrape the mixture into a blender or food processor and add the balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, and orange juice. Add 1/4 cup of the bacon fat and process, pulsing, until, just until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the warm potatoes 1/4 inch thick and combine with half of the warm vinaigrette (reheat the vinaigrette in the microwave if necessary) and half of the bacon pieces. Divide in roomy serving bowls. In a large bowl, combine the lettuces, chives, tomato, cucumbers, and celery. Toss with the remaining vinaigrette and divide on top of the potatoes in the serving bowls. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and reserve bacon pieces over the salads, place 3 or 4 croutons on each, and serve.
• For the croutons, preheat to 350 degrees. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops with garlic oil. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with cheese (if using) and pepper. Cover with foil to keep warm.

• Squeeze 2 lemon halves into a large bowl of water; add rinds. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, remove tough outer leaves closest to stem end, then trim pointy tips of remaining outer leaves with kitchen shears. With a serrated knife, cut off top 1 inch; with a paring knife, trim and peel stem. (Transfer to lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration.)
• Set a steamer basket in a large pot; add enough water to reach just below basket and bring to a boil. Squeeze remaining 2 lemon halves into pot. Add artichokes, season with salt, and cover. Steam until hearts are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let stand until cool enough to handle, then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out and discard fuzzy chokes.
