Heirloom Tomato Salad With Anchovy Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Put the shallot and garlic in a small bowl. Add red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper and macerate 5 minutes. Whisk in the olive oil and set aside.
• Make the anchovy toasts: Pound garlic to a paste with a little salt, then mash anchovy fillets into the paste. Stir in olive oil. Paint toasts lightly with anchovy mixture and set aside.
• Arrange tomatoes on a platter or in a low wide bowl. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper. Scatter olives over tomatoes. Whisk vinaigrette and spoon evenly over tomatoes. Garnish with basil leaves and anchovy toast.

Steps:

• Heat oil, anchovies, garlic, and rosemary in a small skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until anchovies break down, about 4 minutes. Place tomatoes in a bowl or on a platter; drizzle with anchovy mixture and season with pepper. Serve atop crostini or as a side dish.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Cook the beans for 4 mins, so they still have a slight crunch, then scoop out with a slotted spoon into a colander and cool quickly with cold water. Tip the potatoes into the pan, add the eggs and simmer everything for 8 mins. Lift out the eggs, then leave to cool while the potatoes cook for 2 more mins until tender. Drain the potatoes.
• For the dressing, mash the anchovies with the side of a knife, then mix with the vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. Stir in the beans, potatoes, olives and tomatoes. Peel and halve the eggs. Put the leaves into a large serving bowl, add the potato mix and eggs, then serve.

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, rice wine vinegar, rosemary, and oregano in a large bowl. Add small and large tomatoes, and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss again before serving.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except shallot in a blender, and turn the machine on. A creamy emulsion will form within 30 seconds. Taste, and add more vinegar if necessary, about a teaspoon at a time, until the balance tastes right.
• Add shallot, and turn machine on and off a few times, until shallot is minced within the dressing. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve. (This vinaigrette is best made fresh but will keep refrigerated for a few days. Before using, bring it back to room temperature, and whisk briefly.)

Steps:

• Place tomatoes, spinach and onion in a large bowl. Whisk together dressing ingredients; toss with salad. Refrigerate, covered, 2 hours. Serve with a slotted spoon.
