Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 (2-ounce) cans anchovy fillets, drained
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon

  • 4 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 recipe Parmesan Crisps (below)

Instructions

  • Combine the garlic, anchovies, and lemon zest and juice in a food processor and process until it forms a smooth paste, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer to a small pan and warm over low heat, stirring, about 2 minutes, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until smooth. Keep warm.

Parmesan Crisps

MAKES 12 CRISPS Easy and fancy is a combination we love, and these lacy, savory salad garnishes are exactly that.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan and rosemary and season with pepper.
  • Drop tablespoonfuls of the cheese mixture 2 inches apart onto a nonstick or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Using your fingers, pat down the mounds into 3-inch rounds and bake until the cheese is melted with golden brown edges, 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few moments to firm up, then, using a spatula, transfer the crisps to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Grilled Skirt Steak Salad with Charred Tomatillo Salsa https://gffmag.com/grilled-skirt-steak-salad-with-charred-tomatillo-salsa/ https://gffmag.com/grilled-skirt-steak-salad-with-charred-tomatillo-salsa/#respond Sat, 04 Jul 2020 16:17:00 +0000 https://gffmag.com/?p=221694 Read More]]> Fresh and light yet hearty, this gluten free steak salad is simply delicious—and it’s easily doubled to feed a crowd. The steak chills for two hours, so plan ahead, and keep it in the fridge until grilling to avoid overcooking the thin cut. FYI, you can skip the grill, cut the steak into three or four pieces, and sear it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a preheated large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Grilled Skirt Steak Salad with Charred Tomatillo Salsa

Servings 4
Author Niki Ford

Ingredients

  • 1 pound skirt steak
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 10 fingerling potatoes
  • 6 loosely packed cups arugula
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1-1/2 ripe avocados, thinly sliced
  • 1 recipe Charred Tomatillo Salsa (below)

Instructions

  • Season the steak with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer to a covered container, toss with the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and chill, covered, for at least 2 hours.
  • Place the potatoes in a small saucepan, cover with water, season generously with salt, bring to a gentle boil, and cook until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high. Brush the garlic from the steak, then grill 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  • Halve the potatoes lengthwise. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the arugula, 1/8 teaspoon salt, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and the lemon juice. Transfer to a serving platter, add the avocado slices, sprinkle with salt, top with the steak, and serve with the salsa.

Charred Tomatillo Salsa

MAKES 1-1/2 CUPS This herby, green salsa is delicious with steak, but it’s also great with tacos, tortilla chips, eggs, braised chicken, and pulled pork. FYI, it gels a bit as it sits; thin with a little water, if you like.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed well
  • 1 1/2-inch-thick slice white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1 jalapeño chile
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro sprigs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Line a cast-iron skillet with aluminum foil. Heat the skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Add the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeño and cook, turning each ingredient occasionally, until blackened on all sides and soft, about 10 minutes for the garlic, onion, and jalapeño and about 20 minutes for the tomatillos. Stem and seed the jalapeño, peel the garlic, and stem the tomatillos.
  • Pulse all of the charred vegetables in a blender until finely chopped or blend until smooth, if desired. Transfer to a bowl, stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, the cilantro, and the lime juice, and serve.

But no amount of toasting will help if the seeds have been in the back of your spice rack for ten years. Fresh is best. If you don’t love caraway, skip the seeds.

Cucumber Radish Salad

Servings 6
Calories 46kcal

Ingredients

  • 6 Persian cucumbers or 2 large peeled cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 6 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced, reserving chopped fronds, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Instructions

  • In a colander, combine the cucumbers, radishes, fennel bulb, salt, and sugar. Toss until very well combined. Let drain into the sink or a bowl for 15 minutes, firmly pushing down on the vegetables every few minutes to release more of their liquid.
  • In a dry skillet, toast the caraway seeds over medium-high heat until fragrant and slightly darker, about 30 seconds (watch carefully; this happens fast). Transfer to a small bowl to cool. Once cool, rub the seeds between your fingers to crush them slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, caraway seeds, and dill. Add the cucumbers, radishes, and fennel bulb. Toss well with the dressing. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the reserved fennel fronds.

Yam Som-O (Pomelo Salad with Shrimp)

This refreshingly different, super-light meal or first course is like an exotic spa dish with a mild garlic kick. Though it calls for pomelo, a grapefruit-like citrus, you can substitute grapefruit.
Servings 2 people

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 6 large raw shrimp shelled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon palm sugar or 2 packed teaspoons light brown sugar
  • 1 pomelo or 2 grapefruit peeled, supremed (fruit segments sliced out between the membrane and membrane discarded), seeded, and separated into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons sliced shallot
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 water chestnuts thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted cashews or peanuts for garnish
  • Cilantro sprigs for garnish (optional)

  • Place the lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar in a small nonreactive bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar. Adjust the seasonings to your preference. Add the shrimp and toss to coat, remove and reserve the shrimp, and transfer the dressing to a large serving bowl.
  • Add the reserved cooking water, the pomelo, shallot, garlic, water chestnuts, and 1 tablespoon of the coconut. Toss to combine. Top with the shrimp, garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut, the nuts, and the cilantro, and serve.

Burrata and Grilled Vegetables with Arugula and Basil Oil

Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 4 red yellow, or orange bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • ¼ cup chopped Italian parsley
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 eggplant cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
  • 14 ounces ripe tomatoes halved if large
  • 2 4-ounce balls of burrata mozzarella
  • 1 bunch arugula trimmed and cleaned
  • 1 recipe Basil Oil below

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill on high. Grill the peppers, turning a few times, until charred and black all over, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a paper bag, seal, and let rest for 20 minutes. Peel off and discard the charred skin. Discard the stems and seeds, then slice the peppers lengthwise into thick slices. Place on a plate and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the vinegar. Scatter the capers and parsley over them and sprinkle with salt. Reserve.

Pat the eggplant with paper towels to remove the moisture, then liberally brush each side with olive oil.
  • Toss the tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Add the eggplant and tomatoes to the grill, cooking the eggplant until lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side, and the tomatoes until lightly charred and slightly soft, about 5 minutes total.
  • To serve, arrange the burrata, arugula, peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes on a platter, cut into the burrata to expose some of the cream inside, drizzle the platter with basil oil, and sprink
