Warm Mushroom Salad With Endive And Watercress Recipes

Steps:

• Trim off and discard the tough stem ends of the watercress. Put the tender leaves and remaining stems in a salad bowl.
• Cut off the bottoms of each head of endive. Cut each head into 1-inch lengths and separate the leaves. There should be about 2 cups. Add it to the salad bowl.
• Rinse the mushrooms and pat dry. Cut them into thin slices. There should be about 1 1/2 cups. Add to the salad bowl.
• Sprinkle the greens with the cheese.
• Blend in a separate bowl the garlic, mustard and sour cream. Add salt and pepper. Stir in the vinegar and the oil.
• Pour the sauce over the salad greens and toss to blend.

Steps:

• Cook 1/2 cup sliced cremini mushrooms in 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to a bowl. Stir 1/4 cup packed watercress into mushrooms until slightly wilted. Return skillet to heat.
• Using a fork (for good control), beat eggs with 1 teaspoon water until yolks and whites are completely combined and no streaks remain. The water helps incorporate them and steams while the omelet cooks, which puffs it up. Season with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and a few cracks of pepper.
• Heat butter over medium-high heat until foaming; swirl to coat. When foam subsides, pour eggs into center of skillet. Let stand 10 seconds. Stir eggs with a rubber spatula in a circular motion with one hand while shaking skillet with the other, about 15 seconds. Reduce heat to medium. Working your way around skillet, gather outer set eggs toward center, then tip skillet so runny eggs move to outside edges, about 1 minute. Lightly spread any remaining runny eggs evenly over top and cook until creamy but no longer wet.
• Add mushroom-watercress mixture and 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano onto far side of omelet. Remove from heat. Tip pan away from you; gently slide spatula under near side of omelet and fold up and over cheese. Slide onto a warm plate. Top with more finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or chopped chives and serve with buttered toast, if desired.

Steps:

• Set a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until foamy. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, scallions, parsley, tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the scallions are wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet in an even layer and cook until they start browning, about 3 minutes; sprinkle with the cheese. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until set, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the endive and tomatoes in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper. Toss and serve with the sliced frittata.

Steps:

• Chop and remove stems from watercress. Cut endive into cross pieces. Toss the two together and dress with mustard vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms by brushing the tops with a clean sponge. Don't wash them! Remove and discard the stems and slice the caps 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. In a large saute pan, heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until bubbly. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper to the pan, and saute for 3 minutes over medium heat, tossing frequently. Reduce the heat to low and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, arrange the arugula on 4 lunch plates (or on a platter) and cover each portion with 2 slices of prosciutto. When the mushrooms are cooked, add the sherry vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan. Spoon the mushrooms and sauce on top of the prosciutto. With a vegetable peeler, make large shavings of Parmesan cheese and place on top of the hot mushrooms. Sprinkle with the sun-dried tomatoes, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Using small sharp knife, cut peel and white pith from oranges. Cut oranges into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Set aside.
• Whisk vinegar and sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. Add watercress, endive, and oranges; toss to coat. Divide salad among 6 plates. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve.

Steps:

• cut the endives lengthwise and place on a salad dish.
• add the sliced mushroom, onions and corn.
• mix the oil, vinegar salt and pepper and add to salad.
• sprinkle fresh parsley over the salad.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress and cucumber; toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut off the tough stems of the watercress and discard.
• Cut off the end of the endive and cut the head into bite-size pieces.
• Rinse watercress and endive and drain or spin dry. Put in a salad bowl.
• Put the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Using a wire whisk, beat in the oil. Pour the dressing over the salad greens and toss.

Steps:

• If using brown rice or barley, toast first: Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and add the barley or brown rice. Stir in the pan until the grains begin to smell toasty, about 5 minutes. Add the stock or water and salt (1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon) and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes, until tender. If all of the liquid has not been absorbed, drain and return to the pan. Place a clean dish towel over the top of the pan and return the cover. Let sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. If using triticale, soak in 3 cups water if you have the time for 1 hour before cooking. Combine in a saucepan with the soaking water (or drain and use 3 cups stock), bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce the heat and simmer 45 to 50 minutes, until some of the grains have begun to splay. Turn off the heat and let steep for 15 minutes in any liquid remaining in the pan, then drain.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the shiitake mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sweat and color slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, and salt to taste and sauté just until the mushrooms are tender, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat, add the regular mushrooms and 1 tablespoon of the dressing, and stir together. Stir in the cooked grains and the herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• When ready to serve, whisk the remaining salad dressing and add to the grains and mushrooms. Stir over medium heat until heated through. Add the endive, toss together and serve.
