WILTED SPINACH SALAD WITH PICKLED SHALLOTS AND SHERRY VINAIGRETTE



Wilted Spinach Salad with Pickled Shallots and Sherry Vinaigrette image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 bunches spinach, leaves only, well washed and dried
10 pickled shallots (recipe below), slivered
1/2 cup pepitas (see note)
1/2 cup crumbled feta or anejo cheese (optional)
20 medium shallots, unpeeled
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
2 teaspoons red chile flakes
2 tablespoons Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, and mustard. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly until the dressing is completely emulsified. Assemble all the ingredients for the salad on the counter top just before you are ready to serve it. Turn a gas or electric burner to medium high heat. Using an oven glove to protect your hands, heat a large stainless bowl until it is very hot. Add just under 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette, reserving the rest for another use. Swirl for a minute or two, until the vinaigrette is quite warm. Remove from the heat and quickly throw in the spinach leaves and the shallots. Immediately start tossing the salad mixture with tongs and, as soon as it begins to wilt, serve the salad, sprinkled with the toasted pipettes and, if desired, the cheese.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and blanch the shallots for 1 minute. Drain in a colander. When the shallots are cool enough to handle, peel them. In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, wine, sugar, mustard seeds, peppercorns, chile flakes, and salt. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the shallots and bring the liquid to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and let cool completely. Transfer the shallots and all the liquid into a sterilized jar, cover tightly, and use as directed in this recipe, or keep for up to 2 weeks.

SPINACH SALAD WITH SEARED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS



Spinach Salad with Seared Shiitake Mushrooms image

Shiitakes, which are sold in my supermarket along with cremini and button mushrooms, are powerhouse mushrooms. Along with the B-vitamins and minerals that all mushrooms contain, the shiitake contains all 8 amino acids, unusual for a plant, and the essential fatty acid linoleic acid, as well as an immune-boosting chemical component called lentinan. When you pan-cook them over high heat, as you do here, the flavor is very intense, because of the natural msg that all mushrooms contain.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, finely minced or pureed in a mortar and pestle
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (can substitute some yogurt or buttermilk for some of the olive oil for a low-fat dressing)
6 large or 8 smaller fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced (discard the stems or use for stock)
1 teaspoon canola oil
Salt to taste
1 6- or 7-ounce package baby spinach, rinsed and dried
1 celery stalk, preferably from the inner heart of the celery, sliced very thin
1 to 2 tablespoons pine nuts or broken walnut pieces, lightly toasted
1 ounce crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Mix together the vinegar and lemon juice with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard using a fork or a small whisk. Whisk in the olive oil and the yogurt or buttermilk if using. Set aside.
  • Combine the spinach, nuts, celery, and goat cheese in a salad bowl.
  • Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and when very hot, add the mushrooms. Shake the pan once, then let the mushrooms cook without moving them around until they begin to sweat and soften (watch closely). After about a minute or two, when they have begun to sear and release moisture, you can move them around in the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Add to the spinach mixture and toss with the dressing. Serve at once.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will ensure your salad is flavorful and nutritious. Look for vibrant green spinach, plump shiitake mushrooms, and crisp, tender watercress.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Wilting the spinach should take only a few seconds. Overcooking will make it limp and soggy.
  • Use a variety of textures: The combination of crunchy watercress, tender spinach, and chewy shiitake mushrooms creates a pleasing textural contrast in this salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. The spinach will start to wilt and lose its color if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This wilted shiitake spinach salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fresh, seasonal produce. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is a good source of fiber. The salad is also very versatile, and it can be easily adapted to your own taste preferences. Try adding other vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas.

No matter how you choose to make it, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
