Moldavian Potato Feta And Scallion Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Clean and cook potatoes in boiling water until tender, 18-20 minutes.
• Chop, press and crumble other ingredients.
• Cool potatoes until they can be handled, then dice into 3/4-inch cubes.
• Toss with olive oil and garlic, then let fully cool to room temperature.
• Add feta and scallions and drizzle with vinegar.
• Add dill, salt& pepper, and toss gently.
• Let rest for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to mingle.
• Add optional garnish and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk basil, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl to make dressing.
• Arrange tomatoes and cucumbers in a serving dish. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with feta cheese.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the kind of potato. Drain very well.
• Heat the broiler. Arrange 1 bunch scallions on a sheet pan. Thinly slice the other bunch, reserving the slices for serving.
• Season the whole scallions in the pan with salt and pepper, and very lightly drizzle with olive oil. Broil until charred, tossing occasionally, for 3 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool. Coarsely chop scallions and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, garlic, cumin and a large pinch of salt. Let sit for 1 minute to mellow the garlic and dissolve the salt. Whisk in tahini, then gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time (about 3 to 6 tablespoons total), until the sauce thickens and is smooth enough to drizzle. The sauce can take 30 seconds to 1 minute to thicken so keep whisking; if it gets too thick, thin it down with a little more water. Taste and add more lemon juice and salt if needed.
• Transfer hot potatoes and charred scallions to bowl with tahini dressing. Drizzle in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and toss until potatoes are well coated. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice if needed.
• Let cool to room temperature for at least an hour before serving, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. The potatoes will absorb the dressing as they sit. Just before serving, taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed, and toss with the raw scallion slices and herbs.

Steps:

• In a saucepan cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes well in a colander and, when just cool enough to handle, halve. Transfer hot potatoes to a bowl and immediately toss with vinegar. Add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste and gently toss until combined well. Serve potato salad warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Saute corn in hot olive oil, adding salt and pepper to taste, until tender.
• Add garlic and saute until garlic becomes aromatic, less than 1 minute.
• Deglaze with vinegar and stock, cooking until liquid is nearly evaporated (au sec) Add tomatoes and cook 1 minute more.
• Remove from heat, stir in scallions.
• Cool, season with salt and pepper, serve at room temperature.
