Salade Ventoux En Frisee Recipes

Steps:

• Position an oven rack to the top position and preheat the broiler. Cut the cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices. Slice 12 long 1/2-inch diagonal slices from the baguette, then top with cheese slices. Arrange them on a baking sheet and set aside. .
• Whisk the vinegar, shallot, sugar, egg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed medium skillet over medium heat and cook the pancetta, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve the drippings in the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
• Add the vinegar mixture to the drippings in the skillet, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Put the frisee in a large bowl and pour the warm dressing over it and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Broil the bread until the cheese is just soft, about 1 minute. Transfer the salad to serving plates, then top with radishes, pecans and pancetta. Top each salad with 3 blue cheese crostini.

Steps:

• Cut goat cheese into 4 equal portions and reserve.
• Divide the frisee among 4 plates. Scatter the cucumber, chives, tomatoes, nuts, onions and tarragon equally among the portions of lettuce. Crumble a 2-ounce portion of cheese over each salad.
• Place shallot in a small bowl with vinegar and lemon juice. Let vinegar stand 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk in extra-virgin olive oil in a slow stream. Drizzle dressing over each salad, then season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Fill a large skillet with water, bring it to a boil, and add the vinegar and a large pinch of salt. Reduce the heat until the water is just barely bubbling. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully slide the egg into the water. Cook until the eggs are set, about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and dab the bottom with paper towels to dry them off; set aside and keep warm.
• Put the bacon and shallots into a cold skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and cook over medium heat until the bacon is browned and crisp; be careful not to let it burn. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and set aside. Meanwhile, get a jar with a tight fitting lid. Add the mustard, remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Shake well to combine the ingredients, add the chives, taste, and season with salt and pepper.
• Put the frisee into a large bowl and toss it with the dressing the cooked bacon and shallots. To serve, place a large mound of salad onto a plate and top with a poached egg. Garnish with some chives and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• NOTE: original recipe called for green bell peppers, but I prefer red bell peppers as I think they make a prettier presentation. Substitute if you wish. I also cut back on the olive oil by 2 tablespoons.
• Preheat oven to BROIL.
• Broil the bell peppers until well charred. Place in paper bag and "sweat" for 25 minutes. Once cooled, peel, seed and remove membranes.
• Cut the goat cheese into 4 thick slices and place in a warm, not hot, oven at approximately 150 degrees.
• Heat the olive oil in a pan and lightly saute the raisins until they just begin to sizzle and plump up and the pine nuts begin to turn golden. Stir in the balsamic vinegar then remove pan from heat.
• On 4 separate salad plates, divide and arrange the frisee and prepared bell peppers. Add the warmed cheese and spoon the olive oil mixture over the top.
• Serve immediately.
