SNAP PEA SALAD



snap pea salad


Our running joke when we come home from their house or when they leave ours is “I need something green, please!”  Most of what we eat with them is fried—for example, tonight’s meal consisted of onion rings, fried shrimp, this coleslaw, squash casserole (with cheese!), and double-chocolate brownies.  With whipped cream.

So, I think I’m going to make this salad tomorrow and eat it all myself.  Let’s hear it for vegetables.

The following is not a prescriptive recipe; please feel free to tinker.  And it tastes even better if you can make it an hour or two before serving.


ingredients: snap peas


2 cups snap peas, washed & trimmed*
3 carrots, grated (yielding about 1 cup)
1 ½ T fresh ginger, minced
¼ cup cilantro, picked
toasted sesame seeds for garnish

dressing:

¼ cup bottled garlic dressing (I used Annie’s Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette because I am obsessed)
1 T toasted sesame oil
1 T rice wine vinegar or the juice of ½ a lime
soy sauce or salt to taste
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. 
Toss with dressing & adjust salt, etc. to taste. 
Serve immediately or refrigerate until you’re ready.

*To trim, just snap off the ends & remove the middle “string.”

How To Peel Fresh Tomatoes






Getting read to peel tomatoes
fresh tomato
cutting bottom of tomato

In a 5-quart pan over high heat, bring 3 ½ quarts water to a boil.
Prepare a large bowl of ice water that contains enough ice water to cover the tomatoes you want to peel.

With a paring knife, cut an "X" through the skin on bottom of each tomato.


pan of hot water
tomato soaking in ice water
peeled fresh tomato

Working in batches of three, plunge (drop) the tomatoes into the boiling water, a few at a time, 10 to 15 seconds.
Do not leave tomatoes in the boiling water for more than 15 seconds as your tomato will become mushy (especially if you are using the tomatoes uncooked in a salad or salsa, you don’t want them in a boiling pot any longer than they have to be, because they’ll start to cook.)
Remove tomatoes from hot water with a slotted spoon.

With a slotted spoon gently place in a bowl or sink filled with ice water to cool them down.
Once the tomatoes are cool, immediately take them out of the water to drain. Leaving the tomatoes in water may cause them to become waterlogged.

Gently pull away the skins, beginning at the points created by the X. The skin will easily slip off each tomato.
You may use a small paring knife or your fingers.

Lima Bean and Cilantro




Photo of Lima bean and cilantro dip ingredients: www.SATgourmet.com for blog post, "Dips And Spreads: Lima Bean and Cilantro," on www.SATgourmet.com, by author of Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T., Charis Freiman-Mendel.


Ingredients: 

32 oz can large lima beans, drained, 
1/2 cup olive oil, 
7 turns in a pepper mill, 
1 tsp salt, 
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves

It’s a well known fact in my family that my mother cannot cook to save her life. In my fifteen years of knowing her, I only have two, very grim memories of consuming her “creations,” both of which involve eggs-gone-wrong. It will only be in times of great despair that I wish to eat what she cooks. I love you mom, but you can’t cook.

This summer, my parents opened up a bed and breakfast, “Cliff Walk Cottage on The Sea,” and I have been working on some recipes which can be served as pre-dinner hors d’oeuvres. I have a recipe for a “Lima Bean and Cilantro Salad” in my book, “Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T.,” that can easily be turned into a dip. This recipe only calls for measuring, counting, and opening some cans. It’s so simple, even my mom might be able to master it. Just kidding.

As Ina Garten would say, “How easy is that?”

“Salad Sac”




Photo of salad sac for salad sac product review on www.SATgourmet.com by charis freiman-mendel, author of "cook your way through the s.a.t."


During our recent spring break road trip, we DETOURED to Jekyll Island, Georgia, a must-see for my brother, who is interested in US history. The Jekyll Island Club is the place where, in 1910, financiers came up with the idea to create the Federal Reserve Bank. Sorry, Ben Bernanke, but me and my Mom decided we’d rather shop.

My Mom found the “Salad Sac” in one of the tourist shops  and decided to try it because she hates throwing out food, and because the saleslady was so PERSUASIVE. The Salad Sac is a practical storage solution for keeping vegetables fresh. The idea behind it is simple. Place washed and slightly damp greens (or any produce) in the bag, refrigerate and enjoy crispy veggies for days.

I have no idea why this simple cotton bag works, but it does. We tried it out as soon as we got home from vacation, combining collard greens, dandelion greens, lacinato kale, spinach and celery all together in the sac. The veggies took on a perfectly crisp texture and stayed that way for days.

Some other benefits of the salad sac:
  • eliminate salad spinners
  • eliminate paper towel-drying
  • prepare salads ahead of time (note: do NOT put salad dressing in the bag!)
This product is definitely not gimmicky and I give it my UTMOST recommendation. Fortunately, you can buy it online for $10.95. Unfortunately for my Mom, she spent $25 for it on Jekyll Island!

the word salad is 'sal', meaning salt








The basis for the word salad is 'sal', meaning salt. 
This was chosen because in ancient times, salt was often an ingredient in the dressing.

Although the ancient Greeks and Romans did not use the world "salad," they enjoyed a variety of dishes with raw vegetables dressed with vinegar, oil, and herbs...The medical practitioners Hippocrates and Galen belived that raw vegetables easily slipped through the system and did not create obstructions for what followed, therefore they should be served first. Others reported that the vinegar in the dressing destroyed the taste of the wine, therefore they should be served last. This debate has continued ever since...With the fall of Rome, salads were less important in western Europe, although raw vegetables and fruit were eaten on fast days and as medicinal correctives...The term salade derived from the Vulgar Roman herba salata, literally 'salted herb'. It remained a feature of Byzantine cookery and reentered the European menu via medieval Spain and Renaissance Italy. At first "salad" referred to various kinds of greens pickled in vinegar or salt. The word salade later referred to fresh-cooked greens of raw vegetables prepared in the Roman manner."

Shaved Artichoke and Mushroom Salad



Shaved Artichoke and Mushroom Salad on plate with napkin and fork


Ingredients
  • 2 large artichokes
  • 1 lemon, halved, for rubbing on the surface of cut artichokes
  • 2 - 4 large white mushrooms (you want roughly the same quantity of sliced mushrooms as you have sliced artichokes)
  • 1½ teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (or to taste)
  • 1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons chopped parsley (Italian works best, but use the curly if you prefer)
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (cheese should be well packed into cup before measuring)
Procedure
  1. For each artichoke, cut off stem and discard; rub the cut spot with lemon half to prevent discoloration.  With a sharp knife, cut off the top inch or a bit more of the artichoke.  With your fingers, bend back the outer leaves and snap them off close to the base of the artichoke.  Keep doing this until you reach inner leaves that are yellowish with pale green tips.  At this point, cut the leaves off again until they’re roughly flush with the top of the artichoke bottom.  Pull out any remaining leaves (there will be some purple ones) and with a spoon (or melon-ball cutter), scoop out the fuzzy choke.  Rub all cut surfaces with lemon half.  Using a paring knife, trim any fibrous parts from the base (when you snap off the leaves, a bit of stem remains).  Again, rub all cut surfaces with lemon half.
  2. Rinse any dirt from the mushrooms and wipe dry.  Cut off the stems.  With a sharp knife or vegetable slicer (or mandoline — be careful you don’t cut your fingers!) slice (shave) the mushrooms as thinly as possible.  Place in a medium-sized bowl, and toss with half the lemon juice.
  3. Now slice (shave) the artichokes as thinly as possible with a knife, vegetable slicer, or mandoline.  Add to the mushroom slices, add the rest of the lemon juice, and toss to coat.
  4. Add half the olive oil, and toss.  Add the chopped parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and the rest of the olive oil.  Toss to combine.
  5. Add about ¾ of the grated Parmesan cheese and toss.  Taste again, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Plate, and add a sprinkling of the remaining Parmesan cheese to each serving as garnish.  Serve immediately.

How to Roast and Skin Peppers



How to Roast and Skin Peppers



Roasting Over a Flame

To roast peppers over a flame, hold the pepper over the fire (you can use a skewer or tongs), turning to char the skin on all sides.
Once the pepper is blackened, rub or scrape off the charred skin and discard the seeds. The roasted pepper will be more flavorful if you don't rinse it with water.

Some people like to daub a bit of olive oil



Salade Frisée aux Lardons on Plate with Poached Egg


Notes
  • I like the bite of garlic in this dish, but if you want something more subtle, substitute shallot — say 2 teaspoons, minced finely. 
  • If you want to serve a hot dressing with this salad, here’s how:  Mix up the vinaigrette as usual.  Cook the bacon as directed in Step 3, but don’t remove from the pan — just set it aside.  When you’re ready to serve the salad, reheat the pan with the bacon and add the vinaigrette.  Heat until it begins to simmer, then scrape the vinaigrette and bacon pieces into the salad greens (Step 5) and toss.  Some people also like to add the croutons to the bacon pan when they’re heating the dressing.
  • Alternatively, you could just add the mustard, vinegar, oil, and garlic to the hot bacon fat and whisk to form an emulsion as the ingredients heat.  Make sure you taste to adjust seasoning (but be careful — the fat will be hot).
  • Adding mustard to the vinaigrette helps form an emulsion, in addition to providing great flavor.  In fact, it’s the mustard that allows you to make the dressing by shaking it up — oil and vinegar wouldn’t combine well otherwise. 
  • If you prefer, you can make the dressing the traditional way:  Whisk the mustard and vinegar together, then whisk in the oil drop by drop.
  • If you don’t want to poach the eggs ahead of time, just do it as you’re mixing the salad.  Start the water in Step 2, then add the eggs to the barely simmering water 4 minutes before you’re ready to plate the salad (that’s how long they take to poach).  Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon, drain for a few seconds on a towel, then add to the salad plates.
  • Some people like to daub a bit of olive oil or salad dressing on the poached egg after they plate it, to give it a bit of a shine.
  • Others like to add a few snips of chives or another herb for additional garnish.  Not necessary, IMO, but you may disagree.
  • I’ve seen main-course versions of this salad that use sausage in addition to the bacon and egg (maybe a quarter pound per person).  If you go that route, I’d recommend using a flavorful smoked sausage like kielbasa — just sauté it until it’s warmed through and then add to the salad.

Strawberry-Spinach Salad






Strawberry-Spinach Salad
  • 1 bag snipped fresh spinach
  • 1 head of romaine, washed, dried, and torn into bite size pieces
  • 12 sliced strawberries
  • 2 sliced fresh oranges
  • 1 bunch of sliced green onions, (some of the green tops too)
  • 2 tsp. butter
  • 4 tsp. brown sugar
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
Orange Delight Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar ( I like seasoned rice vinegar)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (or sugar substitute like stevia, I use about 1/2 dropper-full)
  • 2 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup canola oil
In a saucepan saute melted butter and add brown sugar. Stir almonds constantly to toast and sugar coat. Be careful they will burn! Cool on parchment paper. Prepare greens and place in a in a large salad bowl. Add strawberries, oranges, green onions. Just before serving toss with dressing and garnish with almonds before serving.

"Ah-ha": This salad is fabulous topped with sliced, grilled chicken or a grilled salmon fillet. Serve it with a luscious potato-knot-roll (recipe coming soon!) and a scoop of sorbet for a easy, light luncheon.
Wishing you a berry-good week!

You can skip the garlic too.....



Caesar Salad on Plate with Garlic Bread


Notes
  • If you want to coddle the egg, here’s how:  Start with the egg at room temperature.  Heat water in a small saucepan until it boils, then add the egg (in the shell) and cook for exactly one minute.  At the minute mark, remove the egg and plunge it into cold water to cool; then use it in Step 4.  (I think it’s simpler— and safer — to use pasteurized eggs.)
  • It’s easier to measure the Parmesan by weight than by volume.  Depending on how coarsely I grate it, an ounce can produce anywhere from ½ cup to 1 cup of grated cheese.  If measuring by volume, pack down the grated cheese firmly before you measure.
  • But when it comes to cheese (or most ingredients in this recipe), it’s really a matter of taste — use whatever quantity you prefer.
  • If you don’t want to mix the salad dressing by hand, you can use a blender:  Just combine the anchovy, garlic, egg, and lemon juice in a blender jar and whirl to combine.  Then with the blender running, dribble the olive oil into the jar.  Once the emulsion has formed and all the olive oil has been absorbed, taste the dressing.  Then add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • As noted, I recommend using my recipe for Quick Homemade Croutons. Alternatively, here’s another way to make garlic-infused croutons: Take some stale bread (Italian works well) and cut into cubes of about ½ inch (remove the crusts or not, as you prefer). In a small bowl, mash 2 or 3 cloves of garlic (or put them through a garlic press) and add a couple of pinches of salt. Mix in 3 or 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes to infuse the oil with garlic flavor. Then heat a frying pan and pour in the oil mixture (some people like to strain the garlic out of the oil, but I never bother). When the oil mixture is hot, lightly fry the bread cubes for a minute or so on each side. Cool before using in the salad. 
  • If you don’t want to use egg in this recipe, you can substitute about a tablespoon of mayonnaise. You’ll still get an emulsion, but the flavor will be different. 
  • Some people substitute Dijon mustard for the egg. I haven’t tried that (though for extra flavor, I sometimes do add a teaspoon or so of mustard to the mix in Step 5, in addition to the egg). 
  • You can skip the anchovies if you prefer. I like them, but they weren’t in the original recipe. 
  • You can skip the garlic too. Though I don’t know why anyone would want to! 
  • I’ve had versions of Caesar Salad with bleu cheese added. It’s a great addition, and worth trying.
