1/4 cup to 1/3 cup shelled pistachios (roughly chopped)
1/4 cup to 1/3 cup walnut hearts (roughly chopped)
13- oz round French brie

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  • In a small bowl, combine the sliced dried figs with the nuts. Add half of the fig jam and mix well to coat the nut mixture.

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup pistachios, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons flaked sea salt
8 ounces bacon
1 head escarole, chopped into 2-inch pieces
1 small head radicchio, chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 carrots, coarsely grated
1 apple, thinly sliced (toss in lemon juice if not using immediately)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 cup good-quality bottled vinaigrette
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • For the spicy brittle: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat the sugar, corn syrup, butter and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the sugar has melted. Stop stirring and continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. While this is cooking, combine the chili powder, cumin, and cayenne in a small bowl.
  • Carefully, but moving quickly, stir the almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios and spice mixture into the sugar syrup until the nuts are coated. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out as evenly as possible using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle over the sea salt. Allow to cool completely, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When cool, break into shards.
  • For the salad: Fry the bacon in a skillet until crisp. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat in the skillet.
  • When ready to serve, arrange the salad on a large platter in layers: escarole, radicchio, carrots, apples, onion, raisins and bacon.
  • Heat the skillet with the bacon fat over medium heat. Add the vinaigrette, mustard and honey and cook, stirring, until warm. Pour the dressing over the salad. Arrange the spicy brittle shards over the top. Serve immediately.
