Yabby Salad With A Herb Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high.
• Put the basil, parsley, red wine vinegar, garlic and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Set aside.
• Brush the eggplant, onion, pepper, squash and zucchini with canola oil on all sides and season with salt and pepper. Brush the cut side of the ciabatta with canola and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the zucchini, squash and eggplant on the grill, flesh-side down. Place the onion slices and the pepper on grill. Cover and cook until the cut vegetables are charred, about 4 minutes; then flip and cook, covered, until they are tender, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the cut vegetables to a cutting board. Cover the grill and continue cooking the pepper, turning occasionally, until it is charred all over and tender, about 10 minutes more. Remove the pepper to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes.
• Put the tomatoes in a grill basket and grill, covered, shaking the basket occasionally, until charred and softened, about 5 minutes. Grill the ciabatta, cut-side down, until golden and toasty, about 3 minutes. Flip and grill 1 minute more. Transfer to the cutting board with the vegetables.
• Seed and chop the bell pepper; remove the peels and coarsely chop the red onions; cut the zucchini, squash, eggplant and bread into 2-inch cubes. Combine the vegetables and bread in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss with some of the dressing. Mound the salad on a serving platter, top with some of the arugula, and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Scatter the Parmesan over the top, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Blitz all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Season, then chill until needed. Can be done a day ahead.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well. Refrigerate until serving. Shake dressing again just before serving.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except olive oil.
• Slowly add olive oil, whisking constantly, until oil is emulsified.
• May be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in fridge for up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Add cream to food blender. Add all other ingredients. Pulse until desired consistency. Refrigerate at least 8 hours. It tastes so much better after 24 hours, or so.

Steps:

• If using live yabbies, bring a large saucepan of heavily salted water to the boil. Add yabbies and cook, covered, for 8 minutes or until shells turn bright orange. Drain and leave to cool at room temperature - do not rinse. (If using cooked yabbies or prawns, there is no need for additional cooking.) Once the yabbies are cool, break off the claws. Hold the head with 1 hand and the tail with the other, then twist to separate and discard head. Using kitchen scissors, cut the shell down the side of the tail, then carefully remove meat. Using crab crackers, crack the claws and remove the meat.
• Place the garlic, vinegar, oil, herbs, capers and cornichons in a bowl and stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the yabby meat, grapefruit, avocado and lamb's lettuce among plates, then drizzle with herb dressing. Serve immediately.
