Warm Red Cabbage Salad With Bacon And Goat Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the Montrachet into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. (The easiest way to slice goat cheese is to use a length of dental floss.) Dip each slice into the beaten egg whites, then the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a rack and chill them for at least 15 minutes.
• For the dressing, place the vinegars, sugar, salt, pepper, and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend for 1 minute. With the motor running, slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube until the vinaigrette is thickened. Season, to taste.
• Toss the salad greens with enough dressing to moisten, then divide them among 6 plates.
• Melt 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat until just under smoking. Cook the goat cheese rounds quickly on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside. Top each salad with 2 warm rounds and serve.

Steps:

• In a 350 degree oven, toast the walnuts that have been tossed with the oil, salt and pepper.
• Bake for about 5-6 minutes, being careful to not let them burn.
• In a large saute pan or skillet over medium high heat, add the vinegar, garlic and oil.
• As soon as they are hot, add the onions and cook for only 30 seconds or so.
• Next add the cabbage and cook for just about 2 minutes, stirring continually, until color changes from bright purple to pink.
• Season with salt, pepper and a dash more vinegar.
• Remove the wilted cabbage to individual salad plates and top with the apples, walnuts, goat cheese, and herbs.
