Endive And Chicory Salad With Grainy Mustard Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add endive, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Pour stock into skillet; bring to a boil, and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, turning endive occasionally, until just tender, about 20 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer endive to a paper-towel-lined plate; discard stock. Pat endive dry, and set aside.
• Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mustard and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, pour in oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until emulsified. Gently toss each endive in dressing, coating well. Garnish with parsley, and serve at room temperature; set any extra dressing on the side.

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette:
• Mix the wine, lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a blender. With the machine running gradually blend in the oil. Season the vinaigrette to taste with more salt and pepper, if desired.
• For the salad:
• In a large bowl combine the arugula, endive, and walnuts. Toss with 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette to coat and adding more vinaigrette, if desired. Serve immediately. Any remaining vinaigrette can be saved in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days and should be brought up to room temperature before using.
