Mache Salad With Clementines And Seared Tuna Recipes

Steps:

• Crumble yolk into a blender, then add vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper and blend until combined well. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream, blending until combined well.
• Toss mâche with vinaigrette just before serving.

Steps:

• Season tuna generously on both sides with salt, then sprinkle with the black pepper, fennel seed and pollen (if using). Drizzle very lightly with olive oil and rub the seasoning into the fillets with your hands. Set aside at room temperature.
• Peel and dice the onion and soak in ice water for 10 minutes (this will tame its bite). Drain the beans and put in a bowl. Add a generous sprinkling of salt and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and stir. Drain onions and add to beans. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and set aside at room temperature.
• Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, the lemon zest, garlic, a pinch of salt, crushed red pepper and 3 tablespoons olive oil.
• Place a wide cast iron pan over high heat. When it is hot, add tuna. Cook for about 2 minutes, until a golden brown crust forms, then flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Take care not to let the spices scorch; reduce the heat if necessary. The exterior of the fish will be cooked, but the interior will be quite rare. For medium-rare, cook an additional 2 minutes on the second side. Remove from pan and transfer to a cutting board to cool.
• Using a very sharp knife or mandoline, slice fennel crosswise into very thin slices. Salt lightly and toss with dressing. Arrange dressed fennel around the edge of the platter, surrounding the beans.
• Cut the tuna in ½-inch slices and arrange over beans. Sprinkle with parsley and fennel fronds and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Rinse the mache carefully (there may be a bit of sand at the roots) and spin it dry. Leave the bunches whole if the roots are clean and tender; trim them otherwise.
• Squeeze the juice from a clementine- this should yield about 3 tablepoons juice. In a medium salad bowl, whisk together the clementine juice, balsamic vinegar, parsley, and the tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Peel the remaining clementines and separate them into segments. Pick any strand of pith from the segments. (If you use tangerines and the segments are large, cut them in half or thirds lengthwise).
• Pat the tuna dry with paper towels. Pour the poppy seeds in a shallow soup plate and dip the fish in to coat all sides, pressing gently so the seeds will adhere. Toss the mache with the prepared dressing and arrange on plates.
• Heat the 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Place the fish in the skillet and cook for 1 minute on each side, until the surface is opaque but the flesh inside is still rare. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the slices onto a cutting board and cut in cubes, working quickly so the fish won't get cold. Top each plate with tuna and clementine segments, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper together in a shallow dish. Heat the sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan. Sear the steaks on both sides until cooked to your liking. Transfer to the dish with the marinade, then chill for 1 hr. Turn the steaks, then continue to chill until ready to assemble.
• Tip all the veg into a large serving bowl with both types of ginger and the nori. Drizzle over the mirin and lime juice, then add the coriander and chilli. Toss and rest for 20 mins.
• Make the dressing by whisking everything together. To serve, slice the tuna and arrange over the salad, then sprinkle over the coriander seeds and drizzle over the dressing.

Steps:

• Place the mâche in a salad bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Toss with the mâche.
• Combine the garlic cloves with a generous pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle and mash to a paste. Stir in the yogurt. Add to the salad and toss. Top with any of the optional ingredients, and serve at once.

Steps:

• Combine the mache, endive, walnuts, mandarins or clementines, and fresh herbs in a large bowl. Whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, mustard, salt, pepper, olive oil and walnut oil. Toss with the salad and serve.
