ASPARAGUS, ARTICHOKE, AND FAVA BEAN SALAD



Asparagus, Artichoke, and Fava Bean Salad image

Ricotta salata is an aged salted ricotta cheese. You can substitute another salted, crumbly cheese, such as feta.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lemons
3 medium artichokes
3 cups whole milk
5 cups water, plus more for bowl and pan
1 pound each white and green asparagus, cut into 5-inch spears, trimmed and peeled
2 cups dry white wine
2 pounds fresh fava bean pods, shelled (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup fresh mint
3 ounces ricotta salata cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup)
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 scallion, green part only
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the salad: Juice 1 lemon into a large bowl filled with water. Remove tough outer leaves of artichokes, cut off top two-thirds, and scoop out fuzzy chokes with a spoon; discard. Cut each in half, transferring to lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration.
  • Bring milk, 3 cups water, and white asparagus to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until tender, skimming foam, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; let drain and cool.
  • Bring prepared artichokes, wine, remaining lemon (squeezed, with rind), and remaining 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 13 to 16 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer artichokes to a paper-towel-lined plate; let drain and cool. Discard lemon.
  • Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large saute pan of water to a boil. Add green asparagus, and cook until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, and let cool; reserve cooking liquid. Drain asparagus on a paper-towel-lined plate. Add fava beans to boiling cooking liquid, and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, let cool, then squeeze beans from skins. Divide beans and vegetables among 8 plates. Sprinkle with mint and ricotta salata.
  • Make the dressing: Puree all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Drizzle over salads, and serve.

SHRIMP, ARTICHOKE AND WHITE BEAN SALAD



Shrimp, Artichoke And White Bean Salad image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound white beans
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 cloves garlic crushed
2 to 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 to 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 pounds baby artichokes
1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
2 pounds medium shrimp soaked for 1 hour in cold salted water
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup fish stock or clam juice
Bouquet garni (parsley, thyme and bay leaf tied in a cheesecloth)
1 onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight in water to cover. Drain, cover with fresh cold water and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until tender (about 20 minutes more).
  • Combine the mustard, crushed garlic (mashing it into the mustard with a fork), vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well. Remove the garlic cloves and pour the mixture over the beans while they are still warm. Add the tomatoes, toss and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, trim the outer leaves from the artichokes. Cut off the stalks and slice off the tops, two-thirds down horizontally. Squeeze the lemon half into a bowl of cold water large enough to hold the artichokes. Cut the artichokes into thin slices vertically. Add them to the water as you trim them, to stop them from turning brown.
  • Heat oil in a skillet. Dry the artichoke slices in a salad spinner or with a kitchen towel. Add the artichokes and saute, turning from time to time until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  • Cook the shrimp. Bring the wine, stock, bouquet garni, onion and salt and pepper to boil. Add the shrimp and cook for one to two minutes. Do not overcook them or they will be mushy. Cool, peel and chop them in half-inch pieces. Add to the beans and toss. Correct seasoning.
  • To serve, place the mixture in a shallow dish and arrange the artichokes in a circle around the edges. Sprinkle with chives.

FAVA BEAN AND RAW ARTICHOKE SALAD



Fava Bean and Raw Artichoke Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large fresh artichoke hearts, thinly sliced or quartered*
1 pound fresh fava beans, shelled, washed, and drained
2 to 3 scallions or spring onions, to taste, white and green parts, thinly sliced
2/3 cup slit green Greek olives
1 small bunch fresh dill, snipped
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the artichokes, fava beans, scallions or spring onions, olives, and dill in serving bowl.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss well with the salad. Serve immediately.
  • Note: To prepare artichokes the Greek way, cut away most of the stem, leaving about 1 inch of it intact. Have 1 or 2 cut lemons handy as you work with the artichokes, rubbing them on cut surfaces to prevent discoloration. Also have a bowl of acidulated water on hand. Snap off the tough outer leaves near the base. Hold the artichoke on its side on a cutting board and, using a sharp serrated knife, cut the artichoke crowns down to within 1 1/2 inches of the base. With a paring knife, trim the tough green exterior off the stem. Rub the artichoke with lemon. Using a teaspoon, thoroughly scrape away the hairy choke on the inside. Holding the artichoke on its side again, trim away any leaf stubs by going around the artichoke almost on a bias with the knife. Using a paring knife, trim the stem so that only its inner, tender core remains. Rub the artichoke with lemon and drop into acidulated water. Continue until all the artichokes are clean.

WHITE BEAN AND ARTICHOKE SALAD



White Bean and Artichoke Salad image

Simple Mediterranean chilled white bean salad.

Provided by Sue L

Categories     Other Salads

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 can(s) (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
14 oz jar artichoke hearts packed in water, drained
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 c pitted kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 c diced red onion
2 Tbsp chopped fresh italian parsley
2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
1/3 c extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c red wine vinegar
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Stir together ingredients and chill before serving, preferably overnight.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender artichokes: Look for artichokes with tightly closed leaves and a deep green color. Avoid artichokes with brown spots or wilted leaves.
  • Prepare the artichokes properly: Trim the stem and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut the artichoke in half lengthwise and scoop out the choke with a spoon.
  • Cook the artichokes until tender: You can boil, steam, or roast artichokes. Boiling is the most common method, but steaming or roasting will give the artichokes a more intense flavor.
  • Use a variety of beans: This salad calls for cannellini beans, but you can also use black beans, kidney beans, or chickpeas. If using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve the salad warm or cold: This salad can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. If serving warm, reheat the artichokes and beans gently before assembling the salad.

Conclusion:

This artichoke and bean salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. The combination of artichokes, beans, tomatoes, and dressing is flavorful and satisfying. With a little planning, this salad can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
