Best 3 Rye Panzanella Salad With Brussels Sprouts Pastrami And Dijon Vinaigrette Recipes

RYE PANZANELLA SALAD WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, PASTRAMI AND DIJON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, toss bread cubes with 1 tablespoon of the oil, the salt and pepper. Spread on ungreased cookie sheet. Toast 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are brown.
• Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, heat another 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts; cook and stir until browned. Remove from heat.
• In 8-inch skillet, heat another 1 tablespoon oil over medium high heat. Add shallot; cook until crisp. Remove from heat; pat off excess oil.
• To make vinaigrette, in large bowl, beat remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the vinegar and mustard with whisk until well blended.
• To vinaigrette in bowl, add toasted bread cubes, Brussels sprouts, shallot and pastrami; toss. Serve immediately.

PASTRAMI AND RYE PANZANELLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F with the rack in the middle. Put the onion in a bowl and cover with 1 to 2 cups of cold water. Swish the water around and rub the slices with your hands. Strain and repeat the process two or three times, letting the slices soak and changing the water at 10-minute intervals. (Soaking raw onion in cold water mellows the harsh bite.)
• Meanwhile, spread out the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake until the edges are crispy and golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely.
• On a cutting board, finely chop the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using both the blade and the flat side of a chef's knife, chop and scrape the mixture into a paste. Put the oil and vinegar into a bowl, add the garlic paste and whisk to combine.
• In a large bowl, combine the cooled bread, tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss to combine, gently pressing the tomatoes a bit to release some of the juices.
• Peel the cucumbers in a zebra pattern and cut on a diagonal into half moons. Drain and pat dry the onions. Add the onions, cucumber, celery, basil leaves, pastrami and parsley leaves to the salad. Whisk together the dressing, add it to the salad and gently toss to combine.

PANETTONE PANZANELLA WITH PANCETTA AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• For vinaigrette:
• Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple slices and sauté until golden brown, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Cover; cook until very tender, about 1 minute. Transfer apple slices and pan juices to blender and cool. Add oil, vinegar, and shallots. Blend until smooth. Add cider, 2 tablespoons at a time, blending to pourable consistency. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
• For croutons:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place panettone in large bowl. Melt butter in small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, sage, and thyme. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour butter mixture over panettone; toss to coat. Add cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss. Spread cubes on prepared sheet.
• Bake croutons until pale golden, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Cool on baking sheet up to 6 hours.
• For salad:
• Place radicchio in large bowl of water and ice. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
• Sauté pancetta in large skillet over medium heat until crisp; transfer to paper towels to drain. Cook brussels sprouts in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 7 minutes; drain. DO AHEAD: Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Combine croutons, pancetta, and brussels sprouts in large bowl. Drain radicchio very well and add to salad. Add enough vinaigrette to coat, tossing to blend well. Transfer salad to large shallow bowl. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, if desired.
