Best 6 Caviar Julia Recipes

GEORGIA CAVIAR

Steps:

• In a small pot, heat the sugar and vinegar. Once the sugar dissolves, remove from the heat and add the oil. Mix well.
• In a bowl, mix the black-eyed peas, corn, green bell peppers, onions and red bell peppers and toss with the dressing. Place in the fridge until ready to eat.

LEE BAILEY'S PASTA WITH GOLDEN CAVIAR

Steps:

• Combine the crème fraîche, Calvados and bay leaves in a large saucepan and whisk until blended. Heat to boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat to very low and keep warm, stirring occasionally while cooking the pasta.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 3 tablespoons of the butter and all of the pasta. Cook until the pasta is just done, still firm to the teeth, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
• Whisk the egg yolk and the remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a large serving bowl until blended. Add the hot pasta and toss gently to coat the strands. Discard the bay leaves and pour the crème fraîche mixture over the pasta. Add about 3/4 of the caviar and toss gently until mixed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at once on warm plates, topping each portion with a heaping spoonful of the remaining caviar.

CAVIAR JULIA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir in the onion and chopped egg. Spread the mixture in a shallow baking dish or glass pie plate.
• Spoon red and black caviar in a checkerboard pattern over the top. Slice green onions into long thin strips, and use the strips to outline the checkerboard pattern. Chill until serving.

JULIA'S CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Preparing the salad components:
• You will probably need 2 large heads of romaine for 3 people - or use a commercially prepared package of "romaine hearts," if they appear fresh and fine. From a large head remove the outside leaves until you get down to the cone where the leaves are 4 to 7 inches in length - you'll want 6 to 8 of these leaves per serving. Separate the leaves and wash them carefully to keep them whole, roll them loosely in clean towels, and keep refrigerated until serving time. (Save the remains for other salads - fortunately, romaine keeps reasonably well under refrigeration.
• To flavor the croutons, crush the garlic clove with the flat of a chef's knife, sprinkle on 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and mince well. Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil on the garlic and mash again with the knife, rubbing and pressing to make a soft purée.
• Scrape the purée into the frying pan, add another tablespoon of oil, and warm over low-medium heat. Add the croutons and toss for a minute or two to infuse them with the garlic oil, then remove from the heat. (For a milder garlic flavor, you can strain the purée though a small sieve into a pan before adding the extra croutons. Discard the bits of garlic.)
• To coddle the egg, bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer. Pierce the large end of the egg with a pushpin to prevent cracking, then simmer for exactly 1 minute.
• Mixing and serving the Caesar:
• Dress the salad just before serving. Have ready all the dressing ingredients and a salad fork and spoon for tossing.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the romaine leaves and toss to coat, lifting the leaves from the bottom and turning them towards you, so they tumble over like a wave. Sprinkle them with a generous pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper, toss once or twice, then add the lemon juice and several drops of the Worcestershire, and toss again. Taste for seasoning, and add more, if needed.
• Crack the egg and drop it right on the romaine leaves, then toss to break it up and coat the leaves. Sprinkle on the cheese, toss briefly, then add the croutons (and the garlicky bits in the pan, if you wish) and toss for the last time, just to mix them into the salad.
• Arrange 6 or more leaves in a single layer on individual plates, scatter the croutons all around, and serve.
