Halibut With Endive And Gremolata Recipes

Steps:

• Smash the garlic, sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and work into a coarse paste using the side of a large knife. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the parsley, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, and pepper flakes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly rub the steak on both sides with oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Put the steaks in the skillet and cook, turning once, until well browned on the outside and medium-rare on the inside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steaks against the grain and divide among 4 plates. Top with the gremolata and serve with rice or potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place squashes, potatoes, and shallots on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast 15 minutes. Add mushrooms and toss to coat. Roast until vegetables are tender and golden, about 15 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, combine arugula, parsley, pine nuts, lemon zest and juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Heat safflower oil in a cast-iron or other large ovenproof heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season halibut with salt and cook, undisturbed, 3 minutes. Transfer to oven, and then continue cooking until fish is opaque throughout, about 7 minutes. Serve fish with roasted vegetables and gremolata.

Steps:

• Osso buco: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Tie veal shanks at the equator with kitchen twine. Preheat a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Season veal shanks with salt and pepper on all sides, then evenly dust with flour. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pot and swirl to evenly heat, 30 seconds. When oil is shimmering, add the veal shanks and sear on both sides until brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Then sear the sides. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
• While the veal shanks are browning, prepare the mirepoix: Trim carrots and celery, then cut into a uniform large dice. Peel and halve the onion, then dice into the same size as the carrots and celery. Meanwhile, continue turning the veal shanks so they brown on all sides (turn heat down to low if the pot gets too smoky). The brown bits forming on the bottom of the pan, called "fond," will be used to flavor the sauce later. Smash garlic; remove skin, trim the tip, and slice. Turn off heat, remove browned shanks from pot, and set aside, leaving fond and drippings in the pot.
• Turn heat to medium-low. Add butter and all of the vegetables to the pot. Season with salt and stir, scraping up the fond. Sauté until soft, 3-4 minutes. Turn heat to medium and add wine to the vegetable mixture. Stir and scrape to finish deglazing the pot, then reduce by half, 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, make a bouquet garni by tying the parsley stems and thyme together with twine. (Making a bouquet will make it easier to remove and discard the herbs when the dish is finished.) Add to the pot. Peel three long strips of lemon peel, from top to bottom, and add to the pot, followed by the bay leaves. Stir, then add the beef broth and crushed tomatoes.
• Bring sauce to a simmer, and continue simmering until reduced slightly, 6-8 minutes. Nestle the osso buco pieces into the vegetable sauce mixture; it should come halfway up the sides of the veal shanks. Spoon sauce over the tops of the shanks. Cover and place in the oven to braise for a total of 2 hours, checking after 1 hour and basting with sauce. Meanwhile, make the gremolata.
• Gremolata: Pick the leaves off the parsley and finely chop. Set aside. Peel strips of lemon peel from top to bottom, trying to avoid the white pith as much as possible. Julienne the peel into long slivers, then finely dice. (Alternatively, you can use a Microplane zester.) Add zest to the parsley mixture. Smash and peel the garlic cloves; finely chop 1½ cloves and add to the bowl. Season to taste with salt, stir, and set aside.
• Assembly: After 2 hours of braising, remove osso buco from the oven. Shanks should be fork tender, with sauce clinging to the meat. Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer shanks to a serving platter and remove the strings. Discard bouquet garni, bay leaves, and lemon peels. Ladle sauce over the shanks, followed by a sprinkling of gremolata. Serve with remaining gremolata on the side.

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Use the bottom of a saucepan to crush the pickling spice, then scoop into the saucepan. Toast over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes, swirling the pan frequently. Add 1 cup of the water along with the ginger, salt, sugar, and garlic. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and add the remaining 1 cup cold water. Cool brine to room temperature, then add the pork chops, cover, and refrigerate 4 to 12 hours.
• Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-high fire for both direct and indirect grilling.
• Meanwhile, make the gremolata: Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with the salt, and, with the side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Put the garlic in a small bowl and stir in the parsley, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, and red pepper. Season with black pepper to taste.
• Remove the chops from the brine and pat dry. Rub the grill grate lightly with oil. Grill the chops on the hottest spot on the grill, turning once, until each side is slightly charred, about 4 minutes per side. Move chops over to the cooler side of the grill and continue cooking, covered with a disposable aluminum pan, until medium, about 5 to 7 minutes more. (An instant-read thermometer inserted crosswise into the chops should register about 140 degrees F.) Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Divide chops among 4 plates and serve topped with the gremolata.

Steps:

• For gremolata:
• Using vegetable peeler, remove peel (orange part only) of clementines. Chop peel (reserve flesh for another use). Combine chopped clementine peel, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and sea salt in small bowl. Stir in extra-virgin olive oil and set gremolata aside. DO AHEAD: Gremolata can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
• For fish:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Using vegetable peeler, remove peel of clementine in four 2-inch-long strips (orange part only). Cut four 12-inch squares parchment paper. Place halibut fillet in center of each parchment paper square. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle halibut lightly with olive oil. Place 1 clementine peel strip, cut side up, on each halibut fillet. Bring 2 edges of parchment paper together along long side of fish fillet and fold parchment edges together 3 to 4 times. Tuck both remaining edges of parchment underneath fillet to create packet and place parchment packet on rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining fish fillets. DO AHEAD: Halibut packets can be made 4 hours ahead. Chill on rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake fish just until opaque in center, about 18 minutes (to check doneness, unwrap packet and insert fork in fillet). Remove rimmed baking sheet from oven. Unwrap fish. Place halibut fillets on plates, spoon gremolata over, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Boil potatoes in well-salted water for 15 minutes, until tender. Rinse with cold water to cool, then cut each potato in half lengthwise.
• Transfer potatoes to shallow roasting pan, or rimmed baking sheet large enough to hold potato halves in 1 layer.
• Drizzle potatoes generously with 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Using your hands, massage the potatoes to coat with oil and turn potatoes cut-side up. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Roast potatoes, uncovered, until nicely browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• As potatoes cook, prepare the fish: Season fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with garlic, rosemary, red-pepper flakes and crushed fennel seeds, if using. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then rub seasoning into fillets.
• When potatoes are brown, use a spatula to push them to the sides of baking dish, leaving room in the center for the fish. Lay fillets side by side in 1 layer. Roast fish until opaque and just cooked through, about 15 minutes. It should flake when pressed gently.
• Transfer fish and potatoes to a warm platter or individual plates. In a small bowl, mix together parsley, lemon zest and finely chopped rosemary. Sprinkle parsley mixture over fish and potatoes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• To make the gremolata, mix together walnuts, parsley, lemon zest, fleur de sel and garlic, if using. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a medium or large skillet over medium heat. Place endive halves in the skillet, cut side down. They should not be touching one another. Season with kosher salt and pepper and cover pan loosely. Cook until golden brown on the cut side, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a platter or to individual plates, cut side up.
• Sprinkle a generous tablespoon of gremolata over each endive half. Drizzle with walnut oil and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Brush large rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Mix dill and peel in small bowl for gremolata. Place beets in medium glass bowl; add enough water to cover beets halfway. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and drain. Cool beets slightly. Peel and cut into 1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick slices. Return beets to same bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon gremolata, and shallots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss well. Toss beet greens in another medium bowl with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Spread beet slices in single layer on half of prepared baking sheet. Mound beet greens on other half of baking sheet. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper; place fish fillets atop beet greens. Brush fish with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle fish with 2 tablespoons gremolata.
• Roast fish and vegetables until fish is just opaque in center, about 8 minutes. Divide fish and vegetables among plates. Sprinkle with remaining gremolata and serve.
