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.

ESCAROLE SALAD WITH ROAST LEMON CHICKEN, LARDONS, AND POACHED EGGS



Escarole Salad with Roast Lemon Chicken, Lardons, and Poached Eggs image

Moist chicken plays off the chewiness of the bacon, just as the cool greens contrast with the warm, silky poached egg in this main-dish salad. Using the pan juices from roast chicken in the vinaigrette adds depth and complexity. If forgoing the drippings, you will need an additional teaspoon of lemon juice and tablespoon of olive oil for the dressing.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 pound piece slab bacon or thick-cut sliced bacon, cut into 1/4-by-1-inch pieces (lardons)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pan juices from Roast Spatchcocked Lemon Chicken (or 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil)
1 head escarole, trimmed, leaves torn into large pieces, washed well, and spun dry (about 10 cups)
2 cups shredded chicken from Roast Spatchcocked Lemon Chicken
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 large eggs
Fried lemon zest (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Cook lardons in a skillet over medium heat until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate, and let cool completely.
  • Whisk together lemon juice, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in oil, then pan juices. Add escarole, chicken, and lardons, and toss to coat evenly. Divide among 4 plates.
  • Bring 1 1/2 inches water to a simmer in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in vinegar. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Holding bowl just above surface of water, gently pour egg into skillet. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs. Poach eggs, undisturbed, just until whites are firm and yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes (for firmer yolks, poach 1 to 2 minutes longer).
  • Carefully remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon, letting excess water drain off. Place 1 egg on top of each salad, and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fried lemon zest, and serve immediately. Note: The eggs in this recipe are not fully cooked.
