Grilled Bitter Greens With Shaved Parmesan Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, mustard and some salt and pepper in a large bowl; slowly whisk in the olive oil.
• Add the arugula, almonds and raisins and toss gently to coat. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with the truffle oil, scatter the Parmesan on top and serve.

Steps:

• MIXED GREENS: Put the mesclun greens in a large bowl and drizzle with vinaigrette (recipe follows), mixing vinaigrette into the greens with your hand to lightly coat them to taste (you can always add more). Put dressed greens on serving plates and top with a few grinds of black pepper and a sprinkle of Fleur de Sel to taste, if using. Use a knife or cheese shaver to shave cheese into thin shards. Distribute cheese over each salad and serve.
• WINE-LOVING VINAIGRETTE: Combine mustard and vinegar in a mixing bowl and whisk to blend. Slowly add 2-3 tablespoons of the oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly until mixture thickens. Add remaining oil in a steady stream, continuing to whisk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Place the haricots verts in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain, if necessary. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and lemon juice. Pour over the haricots verts and toss to coat.
• Serve immediately with shaved parmesan and freshly ground pepper.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook 2 ounces chopped guanciale (salt-cured pork jowl), pancetta (Italian bacon), or bacon, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add 2 chopped shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 4 cups fresh corn kernels and cook 2 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir in 3 tablespoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Toss 1 bunch dandelion greens or arugula (about 8 cups) and warm dressing in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with 2 chopped Medjool dates, shaved Parmesan, and a pinch of chopped fresh chives.

Steps:

• Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium until a shred of cheese dropped in begins to sizzle. Spread 1/4 cup cheese in an even layer over bottom of skillet. Heat without disturbing until cheese begins to bubble, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Crack 1 egg directly on top of cheese. Cook until edges are just set, about 2 minutes. Cover and continue cooking until white is set but yolk is still runny, about 1 minute, 30 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper. Run a spatula around edge of egg and cheese to loosen. Transfer to a plate with spatula. Repeat with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and egg.
• Top eggs with greens. Squeeze lemon over top and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper and serve.
