Ken Homs Salad With Curry Soy Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Make vinaigrette:
• Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients.
• Make salad:
• Blanch and peel tomatoes . Seed and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Wrap shallots in a kitchen towel, then twist and squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Cook broccoli, cauliflower, celery root, turnips, and haricots verts in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes, then drain well.
• Toss warm vegetables with tomatoes, shallots, chives, cilantro, and vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Make the ginger-lime vinaigrette: In a large bowl, stir together the sliced red onion, lime zest, lime juice, ginger, garlic and 1/4 cup olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside, letting the red onion marinate and tenderize.
• Prepare the rice: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high in a large nonstick skillet. Stir in the turmeric. Add the rice and cook, stirring quickly to coat the rice evenly, about 1 minute. (No need to break it up entirely; clumps are encouraged for texture.)
• Season generously with salt and pepper, and let rice sit, undisturbed, until crispy underneath and toasted in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently turn the rice with a spatula, trying to preserve any clumps, and cook another 3 minutes, until crispy on the second side. (The rice should be almost equal parts crispy and chewy, and evenly stained by the turmeric.) Transfer to a large, paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet, set in an even layer and let cool.
• Prepare the halloumi: Chop the halloumi into 3/4-inch cubes, then pat them dry using a kitchen towel or paper towels. Wipe out the skillet, then heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add the cubed halloumi in an even layer and cook, stirring frequently, until golden at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. (Sturdy but delicate, halloumi needs to cook quickly at a high temperature so it sears without fully melting down and losing its shape. Stir attentively!) Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with pepper.
• When ready to eat, add the greens to the vinaigrette, toss to coat and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a wide, shallow bowl or dish. (You want a big surface area to accommodate the toppings.) Scatter with the crispy rice clusters and hot halloumi. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Stir together 1 tablespoon each soy sauce and honey in a large, shallow dish. Add fish; turn to coat. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, curry, remaining 1 tablespoon each soy sauce and honey, and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place fish on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool slightly, then flake into large pieces. Toss lentils and scallion with half of dressing; season with salt and pepper. Spread yogurt evenly among 4 plates. Top with lentil mixture, arugula, and cucumber. Top with salmon and drizzle with remaining dressing; serve.

Steps:

• Stir curry powder into olive oil in a bowl until fully dissolved. Add balsamic vinegar, onion, brown sugar, garlic, and salt; stir until evenly mixed. Refrigerate for flavors to blend, 8 hours to overnight.

Steps:

• Trim the rind from the bacon and cut into 1 inch cubes. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until brown and crispy. Cover and reduce heat to lowest setting to keep bacon warm.
• In a small, dry skillet, toast curry powder over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar and mustard. Add oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly, until the oil is completely incorporated. Add curry powder and whisk until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss together the bacon, spinach, mushrooms and vinaigrette until evenly coated. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, mustard and curry powder. Beat in the oil.
• Place the greens in a bowl, add dressing and toss. Add the tomato and chives, toss again and serve.
