2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
Apple trimmings
1/2 cup apple juice
3 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
Crimini Mushroom Potato Puree, recipe follows
Root Vegetable Melange, recipe follows
Apple Frisee Salad, recipe follows
Carrot Oil, recipe follows
2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms
1/4 cup butter, plus 1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 leeks, white part only, diced and washed
2 tablespoons butter
1 large beet, peeled and diced
2 parsnips, peeled and diced
1 large turnip, peeled and diced
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and cut into 2 by 1/8-inch sticks
1 head frisee, cored and washed
1/2 red onion, julienned
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 carrot, peeled and cooked in salted water until tender
1/2 to 3/4 cup vegetable oil
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the pork tenderloin into 12 (1-inch) pieces, and season with salt and pepper. Cut the prosciutto slices in 1/2, lengthwise, and wrap 1 slice around each piece of pork and secure with a toothpick. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a saute pan until hot. Add pork medallions and saute for 2 to3 minutes on each side until internal temperature registers 155 degrees F. Set aside.
  • Gastrique: Heat a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add sugar to the pan and cook until the sugar browns. Carefully add cider vinegar (it will steam a great deal, watch your hand). Add apple trimmings, juice, fresh thyme and stock. Let the sauce simmer until it reduces to 1 cup; skim any foam that rises to the top, then season with salt and pepper. You may need to add 1 teaspoon more vinegar at the end to add a little sparkle for taste. Swirl in butter until incorporated.
  • Start potatoes in cold salted water, bring to a boil and turn the heat down to a low simmer. Allow the potatoes to cook until they are tender, drain well and puree.
  • Saute the mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of butter until soft, add garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Add heavy cream and 1/4 cup butter to the mushroom mixture and bring to a boil. Puree the mixture in a blender until smooth. Fold into the potato puree and season with salt and pepper.
  • Saute the leeks in butter, in a medium pan, until they are soft. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add vegetables to the pot, 1 at a time, and cook until tender. Let them drain well and add all vegetables to the saute pan with the leeks, except the beets. Toss the vegetables in butter until heated through, and then season with salt and pepper and fresh herbs. Toss in beets just to heat.
  • Toss all ingredients together in a medium bowl and let it sit for approximately 15 minutes.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a blender until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Use as a garnish to decorate the plate.

Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium beets
5 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Dash of sugar
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 to 4 large raw carrots, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 c chopped walnuts (nuts of your choice)
1 large apple, peeled and chopped
1/8 c shredded coconut (option)
1 c raisins (option)
pineapple, chunks ( to taste) option
1/4 c finely chopped celery (option)
1/2 c mayonnaise
2 Tbsp sour cream
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and shred carrots..I used my handy dandy food processor. Peel and chop apple. Your choice - red or green. (you could shred this also. But I like the chunky taste. Chop celery (option)
  • 2. In a large bowl, add the shredded carrots, apple chunks, walnuts, and any options that you want to add to this salad..
  • 3. In another small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar and salt. Take a taste. If it is to your liking..you are ready to stir this dressing into your carrot mixture. I mixed this dressing with my hands so that I incorporated the dressing mix to cover all the pieces..Make sure that the apples are covered with dressing or they may turn color.
  • 4. Chill for a few hours..(the original recipe said not to make it the day before...but I saw no difference as it took a few days to eat.) I also added some left over pineapple chunks to my salad and almost opened another large can, but refrained, as I did not want any more leftover pineapple. Enjoy with your dinner or as a snack for lunch.

Valuable Tips When Making Apple and Carrot Salad Recipes Salads have become increasingly popular as people discover how flavorful and nutritious they can be. One salad that has gained a lot of attention is the apple and carrot salad. This salad is a perfect mix of sweet and tangy flavors, crunchy textures, and healthy nutrients. Making an apple and carrot salad recipe is not rocket science, but there are some tips that can help you get the best possible outcome. In this article, we will discuss some of the valuable tips for making an apple and carrot salad recipe. 1. Choosing the Right Apples One of the essential aspects of making an apple and carrot salad recipe is choosing the right type of apples. Apples come in different varieties, each with unique flavors and textures. You want to select a type of apple that will complement the other ingredients in the salad. For instance, Granny Smith apples are excellent for salads because they are tangy and tart, which balances out the sweetness of the carrots. Honeycrisp and Fuji apples are also great options since they are crisp and sweet. 2. Preparing the Apples and Carrots Once you have chosen the type of apples you want to use, you need to prepare them to make sure they are ready for the salad. You can either grate or slice the apples and carrots. If you decide to grate your apples and carrots, make sure to use a grater with small holes. This will give you finer shreds that will blend well together. You can also use a food processor with a shredding blade for faster preparation. If you choose to slice your apples and carrots, make sure to cut them into thin pieces or julienne each ingredient. This will make it easier to mix them together and give the salad a satisfying crunch. A mandoline or sharp knife works well for slicing the apples and carrots. 3. Adding Other Ingredients The beauty of making an apple and carrot salad recipe is that it is customizable. You can add other ingredients that you like to create a unique flavor and texture. Some popular ingredients to add to the salad include raisins, pecans, walnuts, and cranberries. When adding raisins or cranberries, make sure to soak them in warm water first to plump them up. If you choose to add nuts, you can either toast them or leave them raw; it depends on your preference. 4. Dressing the Salad The dressing is what ties everything together in your apple and carrot salad recipe. You want to choose a dressing that complements the flavors of the ingredients without overpowering them. A popular dressing for apple and carrot salad is a honey mustard vinaigrette. You can make this dressing by combining olive oil, dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also use balsamic vinaigrette, lemon vinaigrette, or raspberry vinaigrette. When dressing the salad, use just enough dressing to coat the ingredients. You don't want to use too much dressing, or it will make the salad soggy. 5. Serving the Salad Once you have prepared your apple and carrot salad recipe, it's time to serve it. You can either serve it immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for an hour or two to allow the flavors to meld together. The salad goes well with grilled chicken, fish or steak. You can also eat it as a snack or side dish. Garnish your salad with fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil, and enjoy it with family and friends. In conclusion, making an apple and carrot salad recipe is easy and fun. Just ensure to choose the right type of apples, prepare them properly, add other ingredients to complement the flavors and textures, dress the salad appropriately and serve it with a side dish. With these valuable tips, your apple, and carrot salad will be a hit at any gathering.
