January 1, 2012 Avocado Nesting in Frisee
RECIPE
Serves 2 A CookTale To counter balance the richness of Foie Gras, a salad is appropriate. An Avocado in a nest of Frisee leaves appealed to my creativity. We also just happened to have two perfectly ripe Avocados sitting on the counter. I hurried off to the Sunfrost fruit and vegetable market, where I not only found a small head of Frisee, but there was a basket of fresh Chanterelles. That shopping trip perfectly rounded out our New Year’s Eve dinner. INGREDIENTS For the Vinaigrette 1 tsp of Sherry Vinegar (imported preferred) METHOD For the Vinaigrette 1. In a bowl, mix Vinegar, Shallot, Mustard Seeds, dry Mustard, Honey & 1/2 TB of Water. Slowly whisk in the EVOO. Season with Salt & Pepper. Set aside. INGREDIENTS For the Salad 1 small head of Baby Frisee (only half is needed) METHOD For the Salad 1. Separate the Frisee & add to a large bowl. 2. Cut the Avocado in half & add the Lemon Juice to prevent discoloring. 3. Prepare two plates of Frisee nestled with Avocado. Spoon the EVOO over the each Avocado. |
