SALADE LYONNAISE



Salade Lyonnaise image

Whether Lyon ever was the gastronomic capital of France is debatable, but it sure has spawned some great dishes, including salade Lyonnaise, not the most simple salad ever made but one that approaches perfection in a way others do not. The combination of bitter greens (traditionally frisée, though escarole, dandelion, and arugula all work beautifully), crisp bacon, barely cooked eggs and warm vinaigrette is really unbeatable.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups torn frisée or other strong-tasting greens, washed and dried
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
About 1/2 pound good slab bacon or pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 shallot, chopped, or 1 tablespoon chopped red onion
2 to 4 tablespoons top-quality sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt
4 eggs
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Put frisée or other greens in large salad bowl. Put olive oil in skillet over medium heat. When hot, add bacon and cook slowly until crisp all over, about 10 minutes. Add shallot or onion and cook until softened, a minute or two. Add vinegar and mustard to the skillet and bring just to a boil, stirring, then turn off heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring about an inch of salted water to a boil in a small, deep skillet, then lower heat to barely bubbling. One at a time, break eggs into a shallow bowl and slip them into the bubbling water. Cook eggs for 3 to 5 minutes, just until the white is set and the yolk has filmed over. Remove each egg with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towel.
  • If necessary, gently reheat dressing, then pour over greens (they should wilt just a bit), toss and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top each portion with an egg and serve immediately. (Each person gets to break the egg.)

SALADE LYONNAISE



Salade Lyonnaise image

Here in Lyon, France there are little bouchons everywhere that serve pork as a specialty. One of the entry-meal items is a salad called Salade Lyonnaise. This salad is delicious in flavor and packed with protein. I changed some of the ingredients to reflect a better flavor. Very simple, very French. This makes enough salad for 4 people.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup chopped smoked bacon
4 eggs
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups curly endive, chopped
2 roma tomatoes, sliced
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
salt and pepper to taste
1 small onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour in the vinegar, and keep the water at a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slip the egg into the simmering water, holding the bowl just above the surface of the water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, dab on a kitchen towel to remove excess water, then place onto a warm plate.
  • Divide the romaine lettuce evenly over four plates, and sprinkle with garlic. Top each salad with tomatoes, onion, bacon, and a poached egg.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, herbes de Provence, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Spoon the dressing over the salad, or serve on the side.

Categories     Other Salads

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 c frisée lettuce aka curly endive or chicory, torn, washed and dried
8 oz bacon or pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 Tbsp shallots, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, pressed
2 Tbsp white vinegar, for boiling water
1 Tbsp sherry vinegar
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp ground himalayan sea salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste (i always use mixed peppercorns)
2 large free-run eggs, poached
1/4 tsp smoked paprika, for garnish
1 tsp chopped chives, for garnish
6 crostini, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. In a cold saucepan, add bacon and turn the heat to medium; cook until crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels; set aside.
  • 2. Add shallots and garlic; sauté for 30 seconds. Drain bacon fat and shallot/garlic mixture into a fine sieve sitting over a measuring cup. Transfer the shallot-garlic mix to a bowl and set aside to cool off a little.
  • 3. In a medium pot, add water and bring to a boil; add white vinegar.
  • 4. Meanwhile in a salad bowl, add frisée lettuce and bacon pieces; toss to combine.
  • 5. Make vinaigrette; add sherry vinegar and Dijon mustard to the shallot-garlic mixture; whisk until combined. Slowly emulsify extra virgin olive oil and 1 tbsp. bacon fat by pouring it in a little at a time - if you go too fast, it will separate; season with salt and pepper.
  • 6. Pour in half of the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to mix. Add more dressing if desired; spoon salad in serving bowls and set aside.
  • 7. Reduce water to medium and stir it to create a vortex (prevents white from spreading out). Crack each egg into individual ramekin and carefully drop each egg into water. Poach 2 at a time for 2 to 2 ½ minutes.
  • 8. Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs and place on top of the frisée. Sprinkle on smoked paprika and chopped chives. Serve immediately with a few crostini. Serves 2

MODERN SALADE LYONNAISE WITH LEEKS, LARDONS, AND OEUF MOLLET



Modern Salade Lyonnaise with Leeks, Lardons, and Oeuf Mollet image

Provided by Daniel Boulud

Categories     Salad     Egg     Bacon     Leek

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces chicken livers (about 12), trimmed
2 cups milk
Salt
6 eggs
4 small carrots (about 1 pound), peeled
6 small leeks
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs thyme
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
5 tablespoons olive oil
Freshly ground white pepper
Six (1/4-inch-thick) slices of bacon
1/2 bunch chives, cut into 1-inch batons

Steps:

  • Submerge the chicken livers in the milk and soak overnight in the refrigerator. Strain and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Submerge the eggs and boil for 6 minutes. Strain and peel the eggs under cold running water.
  • Thinly slice 1 carrot and cut the slices into thin julienne.
  • Peel the tough outer leaves from the leeks and halve them lengthwise, starting 1/2 inch from their base to keep them intact. Rinse them with cold water to wash any sand from their layers. Bunch the leeks and tie together with butcher's twine. Place in a large pot with the remaining carrots, the bay leaf, and thyme and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender. Strain, and discard the thyme and bay leaf.
  • Transfer the carrots to a blender with 5 tablespoons water, the mustard, and vinegar. Puree until smooth, then stream in the olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Untie the leeks, pat dry with paper towels, and brush them with carrot dressing; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • In a large sauté pan over medium heat, sear the bacon on both sides until crispy, about 6 minutes total. Strain off all but 1 tablespoon fat, transfer the bacon to a cutting board, and cut the strips crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Season the chicken livers on all sides with salt and pepper. Return the sauté pan with the bacon fat to high heat and add the livers in a single layer. Sear the livers on both sides until cooked through but still light pink in the center, about 5 minutes total. Scoop onto a cutting board and slice the livers in half.
  • Spoon the carrot vinaigrette into the center of 6 salad plates and top each with a fanned-out seasoned leek and 1 egg. Divide the bacon, chicken livers, julienned carrot, and chives on top.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the croutons are crispy and flavorful. You can make your own croutons by cutting up a baguette into cubes and toasting them in the oven with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different greens. Arugula, spinach, and watercress are all great choices for salade Lyonnaise.
  • Use a good quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will add more flavor and texture to the salad.
  • Poach the eggs until they are just set. The yolks should be runny and the whites should be firm.
  • Use a light vinaigrette dressing. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is all you need to dress the salad.

Conclusion:

Salade Lyonnaise is a classic French salad that is both simple and delicious. It's a great way to enjoy fresh, seasonal ingredients. The combination of crisp greens, crispy croutons, flavorful bacon, and runny poached eggs is irresistible. Whether you're serving it as a main course or a side dish, salade Lyonnaise is sure to be a hit.
