Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 heads garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
One 3 1/2- to 4 1/2-pound boneless pork loin
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Roasted Garlic, recipe above
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
  • For the roasted garlic:
  • Cut the bulbs of garlic in half crosswise into a top and bottom. Place the garlic halves on a sheet of foil, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Fold the foil up and around the garlic halves, making sure they stay flat. Seal the foil into an airtight package. Roast until golden and soft, about 60 minutes. Keep the garlic in the foil and let cool slightly.
  • For the pork:
  • Place the pork loin in a medium, heavy roasting pan. Season all sides with salt and pepper. Place the pork in the oven 30 minutes after the garlic has started roasting. Roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 to 145 degrees F, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the roasting pan from the oven, tent the pork loin with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • For the vinaigrette:
  • Remove the garlic from the foil. Remove the cloves by squeezing the base of the garlic. Place the garlic, parsley, and balsamic vinegar in a blender. Pulse the machine until blended. Drizzle the oil into the blender while the machine is running. Add the sugar, salt, pepper, and water and blend until incorporated.
  • To serve:
  • Slice the pork into 3/4-inch thick slices and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the pork and pass the remaining vinaigrette alongside the pork in a small dish.

4 (6 ounce) fillets ahi (yellowfin) tuna steaks, sushi-grade if possible
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ jalapeno or serrano chili pepper, seeded and chopped
1 ½ teaspoons minced ginger
¾ cup olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
48 haricots verts (thin, French green beans), trimmed
16 baby carrots, greens trimmed to 1/4-inch
16 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
16 Nicoise, Gaeta, or Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup chervil sprigs

Blend on high until smooth, then add 3/4 cups olive oil in a slow, steady stream with the blender running. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill another large container with half ice, half cold water, and set aside. Add the haricots verts to the boiling water, and cook until just tender, 35 to 40 seconds. Remove from the water, and immediately plunge into the ice water to cool. Next, blanch the carrots until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes; chill in ice water until cold.
  • When the vegetables are cold, remove from the ice water and pat dry. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the halved tomatoes, olives, onion, and chervil; set aside.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until very hot. Remove tuna steaks from marinade, and wipe off excess marinade. Season the tuna to taste with salt and pepper, then sear in hot skillet to desired doneness, about 1 minute per side for rare.
  • To assemble, toss the vegetable salad with enough dressing to lightly coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates, and place a seared tuna steak on top of each. Drizzle with additional dressing to serve.

MAIN DISH SALAD WITH TUNA AND VEGETABLES



Main Dish Salad with Tuna and Vegetables image

For the past couple of decades restaurant menus have named any salad that features tuna, whether fresh or canned, raw or cooked, a Niçoise salad. Few of them resemble the traditional summer salad of Nice made with tomatoes and thin-skinned green peppers, cucumbers and other local vegetables such as fava beans and baby artichokes, olives, anchovies, hard-cooked eggs and oil-packed tuna. I often make a meal of a tuna, potato and vegetable salad. If tomatoes are out of season, I shred a carrot; and if green beans don't look good I use broccoli. Make sure to include lots of minced fresh herbs.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4 to 6 as a main dish

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, finely minced or pureed in a mortar and pestle
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (can substitute some yogurt for some of the olive oil for a low-fat dressing)
1 pound medium-size Yukon gold or red bliss potatoes, cut in 1/2 inch dice
1 6 1/2-ounce can olive oil packed or water-packed light (not albacore) tuna, drained
1 red or green pepper, cut in thin slices
3 or 4 tomatoes, cut in wedges, or 1/2 pound carrots, shredded or cut in thin wide strips using a vegetable peeler
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and cut in half if long, or broccoli florets
2 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and cut in wedges
1 small head of Boston lettuce, romaine heart, or 4 to 5 cups mixed baby salad greens, washed and dried
2 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, tarragon, chives, marjoram

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or pyrex measuring cup, whisk together the vinegar and lemon juice with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Whisk in the olive oil and yogurt if using.
  • Steam the potatoes above 1 inch simmering water for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Transfer to a large salad bowl, aand season with salt and pepper. Add the tuna and while the potatoes are hot toss with 1/4 cup of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • If using green beans, bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil, and fill a bowl with ice water. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Transfer to the ice water, cool and drain. Dry on paper towels. If using broccoli, steam for 5 minutes, refresh with cold water, and dry on paper towels. Add the cooked vegetables to the salad bowl, along with the red or green pepper, carrots if using, and half the herbs, and toss together with another 1/4 cup of the dressing.
  • Assemble the salad: Either add the remaining ingredients to the salad bowl and toss with the remaining dressing, or toss the salad greens and remaining herbs with the remaining dressing and pile onto a platter or wide salad bowl. Top with the potato-tuna-vegetable mixture and garnish with the tomatoes, olives and eggs.
