Provided by Marc Murphy

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cubed country bread (about 1-inch dice)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large or 2 small heads escarole
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 olive oil-packed anchovy fillets, chopped
Pinch red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
  • In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool. (The croutons will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
  • For the escarole: Preheat a grill on medium heat.
  • Cut the escarole head in half, then wash and dry. Grill the escarole cut-side down to give it a little char, about 3 minutes. (Do not flip and cook the other side. We are looking for just some of the escarole to be charred.) Set aside and let cool.
  • For the warm anchovy vinaigrette: In a small saucepot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over low heat until shimmering. Add the shallots and anchovies and cook, stirring, until the shallots have softened and the anchovies fall apart and dissolve in the oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, until it has reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil.
  • Cut the escarole into 1-inch pieces and put in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and croutons and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

CHICKEN AND ESCAROLE SALAD WITH ANCHOVY CROUTONS



Chicken and Escarole Salad With Anchovy Croutons image

Think of this salad as an umami-charged version of a classic Caesar. The central difference is that the egg yolk, which is typically emulsified into a creamy dressing, is plopped directly onto the lettuces, leaving you to break it and let it mingle with the salty, garlicky, lemony dressing, which is bolstered with a bit of soy sauce. (If the whole, raw egg yolks freak you out, swap them for jammy soft-boiled eggs or crispy fried eggs.) The true reason to make this salad, though, is that it's adorned with chicken-fat-laced anchovy croutons, made in the oven while the chicken finishes cooking. They are worth the price of admission.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
4 anchovy fillets, plus more if you like
1/4 loaf of crusty bread, torn into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 large head escarole or 2 heads romaine lettuce, torn into large pieces
1 cup parsley, tender leaves and stems
Pecorino or Parmesan, for shaving
4 large egg yolks (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken, skin-side down, and cook without moving until the pieces are golden brown and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook until well browned on the other side, another 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Move the chicken to one side of the skillet and tilt the skillet a little so that the fat and drippings pool on one side. Add the anchovies and let them sizzle a bit to melt down. Add the croutons, along with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss them to coat in the anchovy-chicken fat.
  • Place the skillet in the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through and croutons are golden brown and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the grated garlic, lemon juice and soy sauce in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place escarole and parsley in a large bowl or on a platter and dress with lemon-garlic mixture. Season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice if you like. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and shave some pecorino over the whole thing.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest a minute or two. Cut the meat off the bone and thinly slice. Place on top of the salad, along with the croutons. Top each serving with an egg yolk, if using, and more anchovies, if you like.
