MUSTARD GREENS SALAD WITH ANCHOVY CROUTONS



Mustard Greens Salad with Anchovy Croutons image

Because mustard greens are on the cusp of chewy, it's a good idea to let the salad stand for a few minutes once you've tossed everything together. This will give the leaves a chance to soften.

Categories     dinner, weekday, salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup olive oil
7 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1 large head green garlic (outer layer, stalk and root end removed) or substitute 3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 ounces crusty day-old bread in 3/4-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs
2 large or 3 small heads romaine lettuce, separated into leaves and torn into pieces, if desired (about 10 cups)
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Make croutons: Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half the anchovies and cook, stirring, until they melt into oil, about 2 minutes. Stir in half the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute. Add bread cubes, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toast, tossing frequently, until croutons are golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Make dressing: In medium bowl, whisk together remaining garlic and anchovies, plus lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire and remaining pepper. Slowly whisk in remaining olive oil.
  • Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Lower eggs into pan. For nearly raw eggs cook for 90 seconds; for soft boiled, cook for 4 minutes. Rinse eggs under cold water until cool enough to handle.
  • Combine lettuce, cheese and croutons in a large bowl. Add vinaigrette and toss well. Crack eggs into salad, scooping out any whites clinging to shell and toss once more. Add salt to taste.

Citrus and Greens Salad with Wonton Croutons image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 navel orange
1 pink grapefruit
1 tablespoon Chinese hot mustard
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons (40 grams) extra-virgin olive oil
5 ounces (140 grams) baby kale
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon toasted white sesame seeds
Fried Wonton Croutons, recipe follows
Neutral oil, for frying
3 ounces (84 grams) soft goat cheese
1/4 cup (7 grams) chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon (42 grams) honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 wonton wrappers

Steps:

  • Grate a teaspoon of zest from the orange and set aside in a small bowl.
  • To make the citrus supremes: Using a paring knife, cut off 1/2-inch from both ends of the orange and grapefruit and stand them upright so they sit flat on the cutting board. Make downward cuts, following the contour of the fruit, to remove the entire pith and peel. Hold the orange in your hand over the bowl with the zest (to catch the juice) and carefully slice between the membranes to remove the segments. Squeeze the orange remnants to release the remaining juice. Place the orange supremes in a separate bowl and set aside. Repeat with the grapefruit, adding the juices to the zest bowl for a total of about 3 tablespoons juice. Set aside the orange and grapefruit supremes.
  • To make the salad dressing: Into the bowl with the reserved citrus juice and zest, add the mustard, vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds black pepper. Whisk in the olive oil.
  • Place the kale in a large serving bowl. Add the onions and drizzle with the dressing. Toss to coat. Season with salt if needed. Top with the citrus supremes, sesame seeds and Wontons. Drizzle with more dressing, as needed. Serve immediately.
  • Heat about 2 inches neutral oil in a large saucepan to 365 degrees F and fill a small bowl with water. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Combine the goat cheese, chives, honey, a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Mash with a spoon to combine.
  • To form the wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers and add 1 teaspoon filling to the center of each. To seal, dip your finger in the water and wet the perimeter of the wrapper. With your thumb and forefinger, fold 2 opposite corners of the wrapper in half and then bring them together to meet in the middle. Pinch to seal. Repeat with the remaining 2 opposite corners to create a four-cornered star.
  • Add half of the wontons to the oil and fry, turning occasionally, until crisp and deep golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on the wire rack. Season with salt. Repeat with the second batch of wontons.
