SICILIAN HARVEST SALAD



Sicilian Harvest Salad image

With the addition of a grilled chicken breast, this unusual appetizer salad would be a great main course. The fruit on its own makes a wonderful little "chutney" to serve alongside a piece of grilled chicken or swordfish or to scatter across the top of focaccia before baking. The dried fruit adds richness, so don't leave it out. In the autumn and winter you can use figs, apples, pears, or persimmons in place of the grapes, while in summer you can use plums, apricots and peaches.

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 41m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup raisins
Boiling water
1 cup halved large seedless grapes
1 tablespoon diced dried apricots (1/4-inch dice)
1 1/2 tablespoons fried rosemary, recipe follows
1/4 large red onion, cut into small slivers
1 large lemon, juiced
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large head radicchio, about 3/4 pound
2 cups loosely packed baby spinach
12 thin slices prosciutto or 1/4 pound sausage, grilled and cubed, optional
1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted
Rosemary sprigs
Oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Put the raisins in a small bowl and pour boiling water over them to cover. Let stand until plump and soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Put the raisins, grapes, apricots, rosemary and onion in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and stir in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Separate the radicchio into leaves, saving the heart for another use. Tear into bite size pieces and add to the dried fruit mixture along with the spinach. Toss well. Divide among 4 plates and top with the prosciutto, if using. Scatter the pine nuts over the top.
  • Frying rosemary on the branch removes its slightly soapy, bitter flavor so you can use more. Heat 1-inch oil in a deep saute pan to 350 degrees F. Deep-fry the rosemary for 30 seconds and drain on paper towels. Strip the leaves off the stems and crush the leaves in the paper towels to remove any excess oil. Mince and store in a clean, tightly sealed container. Use the fried rosemary to make a seasoned salt by adding it to a mixture of black pepper, dried lemon zest and salt.

ROASTED AUTUMN HARVEST SALAD



Roasted Autumn Harvest Salad image

Make this roasted autumn harvest salad for a delicious and healthy side dish. The recipe is featured in "Martha Stewart's Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bunches arugula, trimmed and washed well (6 cups)
Shallot Vinaigrette for Roasted Autumn Harvest Salad
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 baby red or golden beets, or 4 medium beets scrubbed and trimmed
8 shallots, peeled and cut in half if large
4 medium parsnips (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths (halve the thicker end pieces lengthwise)
6 long carrots, scrubbed well or peeled, halved lengthwise
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves (from 2 sprigs)

Steps:

  • Roast beets: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets on a parchment-lined piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wrap in foil and bake until beets are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 45 minutes for baby beets and up to 1 1/4 hours for larger beets. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then rub off skins with paper towels. Cut beets in half (or into quarters or sixths if large).
  • Meanwhile, roast shallots, parsnips, and carrots: Toss shallots, parsnips, and carrots in a large bowl with remaining 3 tablespoons oil, then season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with rosemary, tossing to coat. Roast until tender and golden, turning vegetables over once, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Prepare greens: Wash arugula and dry thoroughly, then place in a bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel (or damp paper towels). Refrigerate until needed (this will help crisp the leaves).
  • Toss vegetables and greens with vinaigrette: Toss parsnips, carrots, and shallots with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss beets separately with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette (to prevent their color from bleeding). Toss arugula with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette and season lightly with salt and a pinch of pepper.
  • Compose salad and serve: Line a serving platter with arugula and arrange vegetables on top. Serve salad immediately.

THAI HARVEST RED RICE SALAD



Thai Harvest Red Rice Salad image

This is good. Thai red rice is unmilled (like brown rice) and takes longer to cook than polished rice like jasmine. However, because the grains are slender, they cook more quickly than other unmilled rices and use less water. Use a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid to ensure the steam is retained in the pot during cooking. One cup raw rice yields about 3 cups cooked rice. Measurements and times vary according to rice type, so follow the package directions. Find red rice at Asian markets or specialty markets, or substitute brown rice.

Provided by UmmBinat

Categories     Medium Grain Rice

Time 55m

Yield 4 salad servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup red rice (Thai)
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup fresh limes or 1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
2 green onions, using green parts only, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup small red onion, finely chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the rice well and drain. In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rice and stock. Bring to a boil over high heat and let boil for 1 minute. Stir the rice to prevent sticking. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand covered for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whirl the canola oil, lime juice, soy sauce and honey in a blender until smooth to make the vinaigrette.
  • When done, fluff the rice with a fork and combine the rice and vegetables in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the salad sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
