Radicchio And Citrus Salad With Preserved Lemon Food

ROASTED RADICCHIO WITH ANCHOVY VINAIGRETTE, PRESERVED LEMON, AND BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• For preserved lemon:
• Mix lemon slices, lemon juice, and coarse sea salt in small skillet. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cool. Drain lemon slices. Using sharp knife, cut slices in half, then cut pulp away from peel; discard pulp. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
• For vinaigrette:
• Mix cheese, lemon juice, garlic, minced anchovies, and pinch of sugar in medium bowl. Whisk in olive oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons oil from anchovy tin. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature and rewhisk before using.
• For breadcrumbs and radicchio:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil and garlic in medium bowl. Add bread cubes, oregano, and crushed red pepper; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer bread cubes to prepared baking sheet.
• Bake bread cubes until golden brown, tossing occasionally, about 20 minutes. Cool. Transfer to work surface. Cover with paper towels. Using mallet or rolling pin, crush bread cubes into breadcrumbs.
• Preheat broiler. Line same baking sheet with fresh sheet of foil. Place radicchio wedges in large bowl. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons oil over; sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Arrange wedges on prepared sheet. Broil until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, turn radicchio over, fanning leaves out slightly. Broil until radicchio is soft and beginning to brown with some edges beginning to char, watching carefully to prevent burning, about 2 minutes longer.
• Return radicchio to same large bowl. Drizzle enough dressing over to coat; toss. Arrange wedges on plates. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over. Top with cheese shavings, arrange a few preserved lemon peel strips over, and serve.

RADICCHIO AND CITRUS SALAD WITH PRESERVED LEMON

Steps:

• Preserved-Lemon Purée:
• Purée preserved lemon, miso, oil, honey, and lemon juice in a blender until smooth; season with salt.
• Salad and assembly:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Let cool, then cut in two.
• Chop anchovies and garlic on a cutting board. Sprinkle lightly with salt and mash to a paste with the side of a chef's knife. Mix in a large bowl with oil and lemon juice; season dressing with salt and pepper. Add radicchio, endive, and Meyer lemon and toss to coat; taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed. Add orange rounds and half of hazelnuts; toss once to combine.
• Spread half of preserved-lemon purée onto a large platter (save remaining purée and use as a sandwich spread or a dressing for roasted vegetables). Top with salad; scatter remaining hazelnuts.

RADICCHIO SALAD WITH CHOPPED-LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Tear radicchio into bite-size pieces; soak in ice water 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well and spin dry.
• Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, remove peel and pith from lemon. Quarter lemon lengthwise and discard center membrane and seeds; finely chop. Place in a large bowl, and stir in mustard,sugar, and oil to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Toss radicchio and mint with dressing, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

RADICCHIO AND CITRUS SALAD WITH BURRATA

Steps:

• Toast almonds in a dry medium skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until beginning to brown in spots, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tsp. sugar, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 2 Tbsp. water. Remove from heat and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula until water is evaporated. Sprinkle in remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar and stir until almonds are coated. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Coarsely chop.
• Meanwhile, pulse burrata in a food processor to a coarse purée. It should look a little like cottage cheese. Add 2 Tbsp. oil and season with salt; pulse just to incorporate. (Or you can tear it with your hands, arrange on plates, and drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt.)
• Toss oranges, radicchio, vinegar, and remaining 4 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl to combine; season with salt.
• Divide burrata among plates and sprinkle with herbes de Provence; top with salad. Scatter almonds over.
