Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup pine nuts, plus for garnish
1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup grated pecorino cheese, plus 2 tablespoons for garnish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 anchovy fillets
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Pinch cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound green beans, chopped
4 tomatoes, sliced
1 bunch basil, leaves torn

Steps:

  • For the vinaigrette: In a skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pine nuts, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. (Alternatively, place the pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast in a 350-degree oven until golden, 6 to 8 minutes.)
  • In a blender, combine the mayonnaise, pecorino, toasted pine nuts, lemon juice, Dijon, anchovies, Worcestershire, cayenne and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the beans until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the beans to a serving plate and add the sliced tomatoes and torn basil. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, and sprinkle with some pine nuts and the 2 tablespoons pecorino. Season with salt and pepper.

ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS WITH BOURSIN AND FRESH TOMATO VINAIGRETTE



Zucchini Blossoms With Boursin and Fresh Tomato Vinaigrette image

So delicious. Such elegance for minimal work! Restaurant beautiful. Looking forward to summer just for this! Number of servings depends on your garden! Herbs can be dry or fresh; use what YOU like! Prep time depends on how long it takes to pick the flowers. Be sure there are no little critters in the flowers. The cheese can be Boursin or Rondele'. I'm going to try goat cheese this year. It IS kind of a fiddly recipe. But it's so pretty. And it really doesn't take THAT long! This lends itself to all sorts of substitutes for cheese, vinaigrette and herbs, just whatever you like. From Jeremiah Tower's New American Classics.
