PEA SALAD WITH TARRAGON AND PEA SHOOTS



Pea Salad with Tarragon and Pea Shoots image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon capers, roughly chopped, plus 1/2 teaspoon brine from the jar
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 sprigs tarragon, leaves chopped
Kosher salt
Sugar
3/4 pound sugar snap peas, strings removed
3/4 pound snow peas, trimmed
1 cup shelled green peas
Freshly ground white pepper
1/4 cup pea shoots

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Whisk the mustard, lemon juice and vinegar in a medium bowl. Add the capers and brine and a pinch each of salt and white pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and add the tarragon. Taste for seasoning.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding salt until it tastes like seawater. Meanwhile, set a colander in a large bowl of ice water (this will keep you from having to pick ice out of the peas later).
  • Add a generous pinch of sugar to the boiling water. Add the sugar snap peas and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Use a strainer to remove the peas from the water and transfer them to the colander.
  • Bring the water back up to a boil and add the snow peas and shelled peas. Cook until they float to the surface, about 1 minute. Use the strainer to remove the peas and plunge them into the ice bath with the sugar snaps. Set aside for a couple of minutes to ensure the peas have cooled thoroughly.
  • Drain the peas, then spread them out on a clean kitchen towel. Use another kitchen towel to gently pat them dry, then let air-dry. (Water on the peas will dilute all of the good flavors.)
  • Transfer the peas to a medium bowl and season with salt, white pepper and a sprinkle of sugar. Stir to blend. Toss with the dressing and pea shoots. Taste again for seasoning and serve immediately.

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped capers
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
2 teaspoons chopped dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, pressed
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
4 large eggs
2 heads butter lettuce, leaves removed
6 ounces Irish Cheddar, sliced
1 cup pickled sliced beets
1 cup pickled green beans
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, capers, lemon juice, tarragon, dill, salt, pepper and garlic in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  • For the salad: Lay the prosciutto on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the edges are starting to brown and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly; the prosciutto slices will continue to crisp as they cool.
  • Meanwhile, put the eggs in a small pot. Add water, covering the eggs by an inch or so. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat, cover with the lid and let sit 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Peel and halve each egg, then set aside.
  • To build the board, transfer the dressing to a serving bowl and place on a large board or platter. Add the butter lettuce in a pile, then arrange the eggs, crispy prosciutto, Irish Cheddar, beets, green beans, tomatoes and cucumbers on the open space of the board. Sprinkle the eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. Serve.

Provided by - Carla -

Categories     Onions

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs green beans
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup herbal tarragon vinegar (Herbal Vinegar with Tarragon)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 red onion, thinly sliced
freshly chopped tarragon, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over high heat in 1 inch of water, heat green beans to boiling.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5-10 minutes or until green beans are tender crisp; drain.
  • In a bowl combine the mayonnaise, tarragon vinegar, salt, mustard and pepper; mix well.
  • I like to put the green beans and sliced onions in a large zip-lock bag (less clean up) along with the tarragon dressing mixture, fumbling for dressing to coat green beans.
  • If you don't have a large zip-lock bag you can place the green beans and sliced onions in a large dish and toss to coat with the tarragon dressing.
  • Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours hours for flavors to blend before serving.
  • Garnish with freshly topped tarragon.
  • Serve and Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh peas, herbs, and vegetables will give your salad the best flavor. If you can't find fresh peas, frozen peas are a good substitute.
  • Blanch the Peas: Blanching the peas helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the peas, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green. Drain the peas and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a Variety of Peas: This recipe uses three different types of peas: fresh peas, sugar snap peas, and snow peas. You can use any combination of peas that you like. If you can't find a specific type of pea, you can substitute another type.
  • Make the Dressing Ahead of Time: The creamy tarragon dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. This makes it a great option for a potluck or picnic.
  • Chill the Salad Before Serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving helps to develop the flavors and make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

This three-pea salad with creamy tarragon dressing is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. The creamy tarragon dressing is the perfect complement to the sweet peas and crunchy vegetables.
