PUNTARELLE SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING

Steps:

• Use all of the puntarelle-the leaves and the heart. Slice the heart lengthwise in very narrow pieces, then soak in ice water until leaves become curly. To make the dressing, smash together the garlic and the anchovies with a little pepper and enough vinegar to cover the anchovies. (Use plenty of anchovies and garlic if you want a strong taste of these. If you don't like either one, stay away from this recipe.) Now add an equal amount of olive oil and beat well until you have a thick infusion and the oil and vinegar are no longer separated. Put the dressing in the bottom of a salad bowl, add the puntarelle, and mix. Serve with lots of bread on the side to dip into the dressing.

WILD ARUGULA, CELERY AND APPLE SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING

Steps:

• Make dressing. Rinse anchovies briefly and chop. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat in a small skillet and add anchovies and garlic.

Add lemon juice or vinegar to the still-hot pan and stir to deglaze bottom of pan, then transfer to mortar and pestle. Add mustard. Work together, then slowly add olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, working each tablespoon into anchovy mixture before adding the next. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper.
• In a salad bowl, toss together arugula, celery and celery leaves, and apple slices. Add dressing, toss until coated, and serve.
