Spicy Greens With Warm Balsamic Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In tightly covered container, shake all vinaigrette ingredients until well blended. Makes 1 cup vinaigrette; use 1/3 cup for this recipe.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette to boiling over medium heat. Cook mushrooms in vinaigrette 3 minutes; remove from heat.
• Add remaining salad ingredients. Toss 1 to 2 minutes or until greens begin to wilt. Serve immediately. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper if desired.

Steps:

• Whisk the balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl. Whisk in the shallot, garlic, cumin, and crushed red pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly until fully incorporated, and continue to whisk for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Let the dressing sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavor to develop.

Steps:

• In a small skillet, combine the garlic cloves and the oil. Over a low heat, caramelize the garlic until browned and soft, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer garlic cloves to a blender or food processor. Add the vinegar and mustard. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly pour in the reserved garlic oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and put in a large salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the lettuce and toss to coat. Sprinkle some grated cheese on top and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cover the shallots with boiling water and set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel and discard the skins.
• Heat the oil in a large pan, and add the shallots. Cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 8-10 mins until starting to caramelise. Add the vinegar, honey and allspice to the pan along with some seasoning. Give everything a good shake in the pan, then bubble for 10 mins until the shallots are tender and sticky, adding a splash of water if the honey looks like it might burn.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the greens and cook for 2 mins until they are just tender but still have a nice bite. Add to the shallots and toss through the sticky dressing.

Steps:

• Heat oil and garlic in a small saucepan over moderate heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in vinegar and immediately pour over greens. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
• Serve right away.
