Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/3 cup ruby port
1/3 cup orange juice
1 cup pomegranate juice, or cranberry juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon shallots, minced
1 egg yolk* (See Disclaimer)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup safflower or peanut oil
2 tablespoons walnut oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 cups romaine hearts, cleaned and torn
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 1/2 cups ruby red grapefruit segments, about 2 grapefruits
3/4 cup Roquefort cheese, crumbled
3/4 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and skins rubbed off
Seeds from 1 ripe pomegranate

Steps:

  • Combine the port, juices, and garlic in a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced to 1/3 cup. Put the shallots in a stainless bowl, strain the reduction over them, and cool. Add the egg yolk, port reduction, and red wine vinegar to a bowl and whisk to combine. Combine the safflower and walnut oils and drizzle into the yolk mixture, whisking to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Dress the romaine with the pomegranate-port vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Divide between 8 chilled plates. Divide the grapefruit segments between the salads. Sprinkle crumbled Roquefort, then walnuts, and finally pomegranate seeds on top of the salads. Serve immediately.
