Grilled Mushroom Tomato And Basil Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Salad: Peel back the corn husks, but do not remove them completely. Carefully pick off and discard the wispy silk threads that are attached to the corn. Pull the husks back over the ears and tie the ends closed with kitchen twine. Soak the corn in large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Drain the water, shake off the excess and put them on the grill for 15 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes until the corn is tender. Remove them from the grill and let the ears cool to room temperature.
• Vinaigrette: While the corn is cooling, prepare the dressing. Puree all the ingredients, except the canola oil, in a blender or food processor. After the mixture is well incorporated, slowly drizzle in the canola oil while the processor is still running. Blend for 30 seconds, then transfer the dressing to a bowl.
• Assembly: Once the corn has cooled, cut the kernels off the cobs into a medium bowl and discard the cobs. Add the red onion and grape tomatoes and mix to combine. Drizzle in 1/2 cup of the Thai Basil Vinaigrette Dressing while lightly tossing the salad together. Reserve the remaining dressing. Gently stir in the basil leaves. Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste, and add more dressing, if desired. Serve slightly chilled on serving plates, using a slotted spoon to keep excess liquids in the bowl.

Steps:

• Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat).
• Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over both sides of the mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on grill pan to prevent mushrooms from sticking. Grill until the mushrooms are heated through and tender, about 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, whisk the extra-virgin olive oil and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Add the tomatoes, cheese, and basil and toss to coat. Season the tomato salad, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Place 1 hot grilled mushroom gill side up on each of 4 plates. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper. Spoon the tomato salad atop the mushrooms, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to finish, about 1 tablespoon and serve.

• In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add leek and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes or until leek begins to soften.
• Add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, breaking up with a spoon, add water and orzo.

Steps:

• Remove the cheese from the package and squeeze lightly with paper towels to get most of the moisture off the outside of the cheese block.
• Put a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and heat on medium to med-high heat.
• While the skillet is heating up, cut the halloumi into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch cubes.
• Place the cubes in the heated pan and toss occasionally while cooking to brown the halloumi cubes on most sides.
• When the cubes have browned on most sides, remove from heat and set aside.
• Dice the tomatoes and cut the basil leaves (I usually place them on top of each other, roll them up length wise, and use scissors to cut them top to bottom, resulting in strands of basil).
• When the cheese has cooled for a few minutes, place in a bowl with tomatoes, basil, scallions, garlic and the rest of the olive oil and toss to mix.
• Put the mix in the fridge for at least a few hours to let the flavors develop (or consume immediately, which is what I did. I have no patience when it comes to cheese, but the salad does taste better if given time to sit).
