Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, grated, plus 1 unpeeled clove, smashed
1 small baguette, torn into medium pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 white anchovies, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 pounds lacinato kale, ends trimmed
1 pound red endive, halved lengthwise
1 pound escarole, halved lengthwise
1 cup sliced chives (about 1 1/2-inch pieces)
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Set up your grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
  • In a small saucepan set on the grill, melt the butter with the clove of smashed garlic. Remove the garlic.
  • Place the torn baguette in a mixing bowl and pour the melted garlic butter over the top. Toss to coat the bread and season with salt and pepper. Put the croutons in a cast-iron pan and place on the grill. Cover the grill and bake until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • In the meantime, in a mason jar, add the lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, anchovies, Dijon and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and vigorously shake to combine.
  • Remove the croutons from the grill and set aside. Brush the kale leaves and the cut side of the endive and escarole with some of the lemon vinaigrette. Place on the grill, cut-side down, and char for about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the grill, slice into bite-sized pieces and put in a large serving bowl. Add the croutons and chives and dress with the remainder of the vinaigrette. Add Parmesan and toss to combine. Serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH GARLIC-HERB DRESSING AND GRILLED LEMON



Grilled Chicken with Garlic-Herb Dressing and Grilled Lemon image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 heads garlic, cut in 1/2 horizontally
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 whole fresh thyme sprigs, plus leaves from 6 sprigs
2 lemons, juiced, plus 2 lemons, halved
About 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped
1 (4 to 4 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 10 pieces
2 heads radicchio, preferably Treviso, cut into quarters
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut a piece of aluminium foil about 12 inches long.
  • Put the garlic on 1/2 of the foil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle in some olive oil, and add 2 sprigs of thyme. Fold the foil enclosing the garlic, making a pouch, and add a couple teaspoons of water. Fold the foil over the garlic to enclose and fold in the edges 2 or 3 times to seal. Put the package in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, or longer, until the garlic is soft. Open the package and let the garlic cool a bit, then squeeze out the cloves into a food processor or blender. Add 1/2 cup olive oil, the lemon juice, parsley, and thyme leaves and puree to make a thick vinaigrette.
  • Preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.
  • Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Put the pieces in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat with the seasonings and then refrigerate while you get everything else together.
  • Put the radicchio in another bowl, drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss; set aside.
  • When you're ready to cook, take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick surface.
  • Season with salt and pepper and place the radicchio quarters on the preheated grill. Cook the radicchio for about 2 minutes per side until it has a nice char; pull it off the grill, place into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to steam and finish cooking.
  • Then put the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and grill. Grill the chicken for about 20 minutes, turning once, then baste with about half of the vinaigrette and keep cooking until an instant-read thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the thigh reads 160 degrees F and the chicken is nice and caramelised all over, 15 to 20 more minutes. During the last few minutes, throw the lemon halves on the grill, cut sides down, and cook until just marked and smoky.
  • To serve, separate the radicchio into individual leaves in a big bowl. Add the chicken and the rest of the dressing and toss well. Serve with grilled lemon halves, squeeze the lemon over the chicken, and top with reserved dressing.
