Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Zest and juice from 2 lemons
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
2 teaspoons green peppercorns packed in water or vinegar, drained, mashed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
2/3 cup grape-seed oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound smoked sturgeon, flaked into bite-sized pieces
2 Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 pound haricots verts
2 leeks, white part only, cleaned and cut into 1/2-inch slices
3 slices country bread, cut into 4-inch-long sticks
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 head frisee lettuce, green leaves only, cut into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Make green peppercorn dressing: in a small bowl, combine lemon zest, parsley, shallots and peppercorns. Add lemon juice and gradually whisk in olive oil. Season to taste with salt.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar with 2 tablespoons water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. In a medium bowl combine sugar water and turmeric. Whisk in the vinegar, then the grape-seed oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add sturgeon to mixture, stirring to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • In a small pan over high heat, combine 2 quarts of water with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, add diced potatoes and cook until tender. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. In the same pan, again combine 2 quarts of water with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil. Add haricots verts, and cook until tender, but still slightly crisp. Drain, transfer to a bowl of ice water, and drain again. In a large bowl, combine potatoes and haricots verts, and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine leeks with enough water to cover. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, cool and add to the bowl of potatoes and haricots verts.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush bread sticks with melted butter, and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add frisee to vegetables. Add vinaigrette a little at a time, tossing to mix well and reserving about 2 tablespoons for drizzling over the finished salad. On each of 4 plates, place 1/4 of the sturgeon. Top with a mound of vegetables, and drizzle with vinaigrette. Garnish with bread sticks.
