ENDIVE AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED PEAR

This recipe came to The Times from Bruno Davaillon, the executive chef of the celebrated Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek restaurant in Dallas. It is an elegant twist on the ubiquitous blue cheese-pear salad combination. Grilling the radicchio removes the bitterness from the leafy green, helping it to better complement the pears and endive.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 Comice pears
Olive oil, for drizzle
Honey, for drizzle
1 tablespoon allspice
Butter, one pat
3 ounces Roquefort style blue cheese
5 ounces butter, softened
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt
Pepper
3 tablespoons flour
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons Panko style bread crumbs
Cooking oil for deep frying (such as olive or peanut oil)
2 ounces walnuts, chopped
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons walnut oil
Salt
Pepper
3 endives

Steps:

  • Peel the pears, cut them in half and trim to remove the seeds. Reserve one uncooked pear to finish the salad, and roast the remaining two. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the two pears cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle pears with olive oil, honey and allspice and top with a small pat of butter. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • Make the blue cheese fritters. Combine cheese and butter in a mixing bowl until soft and fully incorporated. Add Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Form into small balls and refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until firm. Once firm, roll the balls between your palms to obtain a perfectly round shape. Dredge balls in flour, then beaten egg, then bread crumbs. The uncooked fritters can be reserved in the refrigerator until ready to fry. To fry, heat enough oil to cover the fritters in a fryer to 375 degrees. Add fritters to the pan and fry until golden brown.
  • Make the walnut dressing. Toast walnuts in sauté pan for five minutes. Allow to cool, then chop. In a separate bowl, combine honey and ice wine vinegar and mix well. Add minced shallot and walnut oil. Mix with chopped walnuts and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make the salad. Cut radicchio in half and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook on hot grill for a couple of minutes on each side. Slice washed and dried endive into long strips.
  • To assemble the salad, lay roasted radicchio on large plate. Season endive with walnut dressing and arrange around the radicchio. Top with roasted pear and freshly fried fritters. Finish with raw pear shavings.

3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup coarse-grain mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot

3 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved into curls with a vegetable peeler

RADICCHIO AND ENDIVE SALAD

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 head radicchio, quartered lengthwise
2 heads Belgian endive, halved lengthwise
2 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan over high heat. In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup oil, the garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Brush vegetables with garlic oil. Place, cut side down, on grill and season with salt and pepper. Cook until well marked and slightly charred, 4 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 1/4 cup oil, the vinegar, and sugar to make a dressing. Transfer grilled vegetables to a platter and drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp radicchio and endive. Look for leaves that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Wash the radicchio and endive thoroughly. Rinse the leaves under cold water and pat them dry.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the radicchio and endive. This will help the leaves absorb the dressing more easily.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Toss the salad gently. Over-mixing can bruise the leaves.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Radicchio and endive wilt quickly, so it's best to enjoy the salad as soon as it's made.

Conclusion:

Radicchio and endive salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy these bitter greens. With its vibrant colors and slightly bitter flavor, this salad is sure to impress your friends and family. The addition of walnuts, dried cranberries, and Parmesan cheese adds a nice crunch and sweetness to the salad. You can also experiment with different dressings, such as a vinaigrette or a creamy Caesar dressing. No matter how you choose to serve it, radicchio and endive salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
