SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD WITH RADISHES, MINT AND RICOTTA SALATA

Sugar Snap Pea Salad With Radishes, Mint and Ricotta Salata image

There's a reason pea salad is usually slathered in mayonnaise. Just try to get those tiny rolling orbs to stay on your fork without it. That's why when it comes to pea salads, choose sugar snaps. They have the same bright sweetness as shelled peas but, eaten pod and all (no shucking required), they're easier to grab. Here, raw sugar snap peas are tossed with radishes, fresh mint, ricotta salata and a simple lemon-balsamic vinaigrette for a easy salad that's sweet, salty, creamy and fresh tasting.

Spring Pea Salad with Jamon and Mustard Vinaigrette image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1/4 cup chardonnay vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons hazelnut oil
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1 shallot, finely minced
Kosher salt
Kosher salt
1 cup shucked English peas
1/2 pound snap peas
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 slices Jamon Serrano
2 cups pea shoots
1 cup snow peas, julienned lengthwise
1/4 cup grated Manchego
1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, crushed

Steps:

Make the dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, olive oil, hazelnut oil, pepper, shallot and salt to taste in a small bowl. Adjust the seasonings. Set aside.
Make the salad: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with salt until the water tastes slightly of salted broth. Prepare an ice bath.
Blanch the English peas and snap peas separately, for about 10 seconds each. Shock in the ice water and drain on paper towels. Cut the snap peas into thirds.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat. Tear the Jamon Serrano slices into bite-sized pieces and add to the oil in the skillet. Cook until crispy on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Assemble the salad: Toss the English peas, snap peas, pea shoots and snow peas with the vinaigrette to taste. Plate the salad and top with the Manchego, toasted hazelnuts and crispy jamon.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
To make the lamb extra tender, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and rosemary for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Sear the lamb over high heat to create a nice crust, then reduce the heat and cook until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the lamb rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
To make the sugar snap pea salad, simply combine sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the lamb and salad together with roasted potatoes or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.

This Roman-style spring lamb with fresh sugar snap pea salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the salad is light and refreshing. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
