Seared Greens With Red Onion And Vinegar Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly. Place the onions, cut sides up, in a single layer on a baking pan. Drizzle the butter-vinegar mixture over and roast until soft and slightly caramelized, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and onion. Sear onion and mustard seeds, 2 minutes. Add greens and toss with tongs in oil. Sear greens 2 to 3 minutes. Add vinegar to the pan. Remove pan from heat and season greens with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Shake the rinsed greens in a colander to remove the excess liquid, but the leaves don't have to be thoroughly dry.
• Heat a large pot over high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the garlic and cook for a few seconds until it is light brown. Add a couple of handfuls of greens and toss with tongs, incorporating the garlic so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the remaining greens all at once, or in batches if your pot isn't large enough to hold it all at once. Toss constantly so the greens wilt evenly. When wilted, season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over high heat, tossing often, until the excess liquid evaporates.
• Turn greens out into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then season with vinegar. Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 days and eat cold.
• Michael's Notes: The wine vinegar will cause the greens to lose their beautiful green color. You can omit it, but I think it improves their taste.

Steps:

• Soak berries in red wine.
• Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and crisp 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion, garlic and cook 3 to 4 minutes to soften. Add red chard and wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Season greens with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in cranberries and wine. Cook for 1 minute then add in stock and simmer a few minutes to combine flavors.

Steps:

• Trim and discard the stems of the greens and wash and dry the leaves. Stack the leaves, roll into cylinders and cut across the rolls into 1-inch strips. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbly. Saute one quarter of the greens with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and a pinch of the pepper until the greens are limp, 30 seconds to 1 minute. If the greens begin to brown before they wilt, sprinkle in a few drops of water for steam. Transfer to a covered platter and repeat the procedure with the remaining 3 batches of greens. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook mustard seeds, stirring, until they pop and are 1 shade darker, about 2 minutes. Transfer oil with seeds to a large bowl.
• Simmer vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, then cool 5 minutes.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in cleaned skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onion, stirring, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, then add to mustard oil in large bowl.
• Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water.
• Cook beans in a pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and plunge into ice water to stop cooking, then drain well.
• Toss beans with vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Steps:

• Prepare the batter: Pour the beer into a medium bowl and stir in the vodka and sparkling water. Slowly whisk in the baking soda, paprika and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. The batter should be fairly thick but also easy to stir. If it's a little loose, whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup at a time. If it's too thick, add a splash of water. Do not overmix. Set aside in a warm place for at least 15 minutes.
• Get ready to fry: Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil slowly to 375 degrees F. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature. Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel to drain the onion rings once they are cooked.
• Cook the steak: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the oil. When it begins to smoke lightly, season the steak with salt and use a pair of metal tongs to gingerly place the steak in the hot oil. Cook, 4 to 5 minutes, on each side.
• Doneness: If using a meat thermometer, rare registers between 125 and 130 degrees F. For medium rare, 130 to 135 degrees F; and between 135 and 140 degrees F for medium. If you like your steak a little more cooked, leave it in the pan a few minutes longer on each side. Let it rest on a flat surface and cover with foil to keep warm while you make the onion rings.
• Fry the onion rings: Test the batter and the temperature of the oil at the same time by dipping an onion round into the batter, gently shaking off the excess batter and carefully plunging it into the oil. Fry until crispy, 1 to 2 minutes, and remove it from the oil carefully with a slotted spoon. Fry the onion rounds in small batches, draining them on the kitchen towel-lined baking sheet. Salt immediately.
• Serve: Slice the steak into 1/2-inch-thick pieces, season with salt and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Arrange on a serving platter with all the cooking juices and serve with the onion rings in a bowl on the side.
