SPINACH SALAD WITH PANCETTA AND FRIED EGGS



Spinach Salad With Pancetta and Fried Eggs image

Laced with nuggets of pancetta and crisp-edged fried eggs, there's a lot going on in this hearty salad, and you need a green that can stand up to it all. With its thick, ruffled leaves and almost mineral flavor, mature spinach (as opposed to those ubiquitous baby leaves) does the job well. If you can't find it, you can substitute baby spinach, though it will wilt when it makes contact with the hot eggs. Or try kale, which also holds up nicely. Serve this for a light dinner or a hearty brunch with some good bread and olive oil for dipping on the side.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 to 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated (or minced)
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, more as needed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup plus 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, more as needed
3 ounces pancetta, diced
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and light green parts only
4 eggs
12 cups spinach, preferably mature spinach rather than baby, or use kale
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • In a large salad bowl, whisk together shallots, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add pancetta and sauté until browned and crisp at the edges, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to the salad bowl with the dressing. Do not wipe out the skillet.
  • Add scallions and a pinch of salt to remaining fat in skillet. Sauté until tender and pale golden, 2 minutes. Crack in eggs. Fry eggs, spooning some of the olive oil over whites to crisp them at the edges, until just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more oil to the pan if needed to be able to spoon some over the eggs.
  • Toss spinach and herbs with the dressing and pancetta. Divide onto plates. Top each with a scallion-laced fried egg.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces fresh baby spinach, stems removed
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
Kosher salt
6 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, cut into 1 1/2-inch strips
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces pine nuts, toasted (about 1/3 cup)

Steps:

  • Combine the spinach and red onions in a large bowl.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Add the mushrooms and salt to taste, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until they start to release their moisture and begin to shrink, 2 to 3 minutes. Now let the mushrooms cook undisturbed until their liquid evaporates and they have turned deep golden brown on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir and continue cooking until nicely browned on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes more. With a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms from the pan and toss with the spinach and onions.
  • In a separate, heavy-bottomed saucepan, cook the pancetta over medium-low heat until dark and crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and reserve.
  • To the rendered fat in the pan, add the vinegar, honey and mustard. Bring to a boil and whisk to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste and then pour the warm dressing over the spinach, mushrooms and onions. Add the reserved pancetta and toss to distribute the heat and dressing.
  • Serve in a salad bowl, garnished with pine nuts.
