Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces day-old Italian bread, cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices
6 dead-ripe meaty tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into quarters
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/3 cup fruity extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
7 or 8 grindings black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Place a small saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. When it's about half melted, throw in the garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the garlic to take on a little bit of color. Remove from the heat and brush this mixture on both sides of each slice of bread.
  • 2. Oil the grill racks. Preheat your grill using all burners set on high and with the lid closed for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • 3. Place the bread on the grill, close the lid, and cook, turning once, until well marked. Careful here; depending on the moisture content of the bread, this could happen as quickly as 2 minutes (or about 1 minute on each side), but it usually takes about 4 minutes. Place the tomatoes on the grill, close the lid, and cook for a few minutes per side.
  • 4. Remove the bread to a cutting board, cut into 3/4-inch cubes, and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes, onion, olive oil, vinegar, herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss gently with your hands to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings if you desire. Serve at room temperature.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

For Salad
1/2 pound crusty peasant-style bread, torn into bite-size pieces (about 6 cups)
3 large vine-ripened tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3/4 cup finely chopped inner (very pale green) celery ribs and leaves
1/3 cup small brine-cured black olives such as Gaeta or Niçoise, halved and pitted
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 to 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
For Chicken
3 whole skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds total), halved
vegetable oil for brushing chicken
1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
Garnish: whole celery leaves

Steps:

  • Make Salad:
  • Preheat broiler.

(Alternatively, chicken may be grilled in 2 batches in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer chicken to a cutting board and cool.
  • Stir basil into salad. Slice chicken on the diagonal and serve with salad. Garnish each serving with whole celery leaves.

GRILLED BREAD SALAD



Grilled Bread Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small baguette (about 8 ounces) or other crusty bread
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (good vinegar also works well)
2 tablespoons diced shallot, scallion, or red onion
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup or more roughly chopped basil or parsley

Steps:

  • With MINIMAL Effort:
  • Before grilling rub the bread, with a cut clove of garlic and/or brush it with some olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.
  • Add to the salad 1/4 cup chopped olives, 1 tablespoon capers, and/or 2 minced anchovy fillets.
  • For a one-dish meal, grill or broil some shrimp or boneless chicken alongside the bread, then add the chunks to the salad. Or add some leftover or canned tuna (the Italian kind, packed in olive oil) to the mix.
  • Start a gas or charcoal grill or preheat the broiler; the rack should be 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Cut the bread lengthwise into quarters. Grill or broil the bread, watching carefully and turning as each side browns and chars slightly; total time will be less than 10 minutes.
  • While the bread cools, mix together the next five ingredients in a large bowl. Mash the tomatoes with the back of a fork to release all of their juices. Season to taste with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the bread into 1/2- to 1-inch cubes (no larger) and toss it with the dressing.
  • Let the bread sit for 20 to 30 minutes, tossing occasionally and tasting a piece every now and then. The salad is at its peak when the bread is fairly soft but some edges remain crisp, but you can serve it before or after it reaches that state. When it's ready, stir in the herb and serve.
  • With MINIMAL Effort:
  • Bread salad is a way of making good use of stale bread. The bread is softened, usually with water, olive oil, lemon juice, or a combination, then tossed with tomatoes and a variety of seasonings. Like many old-fashioned preparations created as a way to salvage food before it goes bad (count pickles and jam among these), bread salad has an appeal of its own. This is especially true in the summer, when good tomatoes are plentiful and may lead to the rather unusual problem of waiting around for bread to become stale.
  • Or, of course, making it stale. I'd always solved this problem by drying bread in the oven until I realized that using the grill or broiler would not only dry the bread more quickly but, by charring the edges slightly, add another dimension of flavor to the salad. This procedure is really the same as making toast--exposing the bread to direct heat (rather than the indirect heat of the oven) to brown it as well as dry it. There's another benefit to grilling the bread in order to dry it out: The added flavor makes it possible to strip the salad to its bare minimum.
  • This is a substantial salad, but it's still a side dish unless you're in the mood for a very light meal. Because it's juicy, almost saucy, and pleasantly acidic, this salad makes a nice accompaniment to simple grilled meat or poultry, and has a special affinity for dark fish such as tuna and swordfish.
  • The only tricks here involve timing. You must watch the bread carefully as you grill or broil it; a slight char is good, but it's a short step from there to burned bread. And the time you allow the bread to soften after tossing it with the seasonings varies some; keep tasting until the texture pleases you. If your tomatoes are on the dry side, you might add a little extra liquid, in the form of more olive oil and lemon juice, or a light sprinkling of water.

4 large shallots, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 pounds ground sirloin
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped (from 4 sprigs)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (eyeball it)
1 tablespoon grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning (a palmful)

4 thick slices crusty country-style bread
1 8 1/4-ounce can sliced beets, drained and slices cut into sticks
6 cups frisée, arugula, watercress, or baby spinach, your favorite
1 cup crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high.
  • Preheat a small skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Add the shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until lightly brown. Add 2 tablespoons of the sherry vinegar and continue to cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and reserve.
  • While the shallots are getting brown, in a large bowl, combine the beef, thyme, Worcestershire, grill seasoning, and Dijon mustard. Divide the meat into 4 portions. Form large patties about 1 1/4 inches thick. Coat the beef patties with a good drizzle of EVOO. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare, 7 to 8 minutes per side for medium well to well.
  • Drizzle or brush EVOO onto both sides of the bread slices, season with salt and pepper, and add to the grill. Cook until well marked on both sides, remove from the grill, and wrap in foil to keep warm.
  • In a bowl, combine the beets and greens and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sherry vinegar, the remaining 3 tablespoons of EVOO, and a little salt and pepper. Toss to coat; add the crumbled goat cheese and toss to distribute.
  • To serve, divide the grilled bread among 4 serving plates. Top the bread with the beet and goat cheese salad, letting it overflow onto the plates. Transfer the burgers to top the salad and then pile each burger with some of the caramelized shallots. Attack your big bistro burger with a fork and knife, please. This is a bistro!
  • Tidbit
  • For the large slices of country-style bread, cut a rectangular loaf lengthwise or a round loaf from the center.

  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high.
  • Toss the shrimp with enough EVOO to coat, and season with the oregano and grill seasoning.

  • Combine the garlic with the zest of 1 lemon and the juice of 1 1/2 lemons in the bottom of a large, shallow bowl. Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, parsley, mint, celery, olives, and the reserved bread. Add the 1/4 cup of EVOO (4 times around the bowl) and lots of salt and coarse black pepper, then toss the salad with your hands to combine well.
  • Grill the shrimp on the screaming hot grill pan or outdoor grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until pink and firm. Transfer to a plate and top with the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon.
  • Pile the salad into large, shallow bowls and top with the grilled shrimp and wedges of feta.
