Green Bean-And-Roasted Red Pepper Salad image

Private chef Michael Emmanuel's late-harvest salad gets its surprisingly meaty richness from the sliced red bell peppers he roasts in a clay oven, a broiler also works well. F&W Magazine - From: Ultimate Napa Wine & Pizza Party - October 2009 edition. ;)

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 red bell peppers
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
salt
1/3-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (use sparingly so as to use less)
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 lbs green beans
1 lb cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons chopped mint
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 cup roasted macadamia nuts or 1/2 cup almonds, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Roast the peppers under the broiler or over a gas flame, turning a few times, until charred all over; transfer to a work surface and let cool.
  • Discard the skin, stems and seeds and cut the peppers into 2-by-1-inch strips.
  • In a small bowl, combine the shallots with the garlic, red wine and sherry vinegars and a large pinch of salt.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Drain and spread out on a large baking sheet.
  • Let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, combine the peppers with the beans, tomatoes, mint and parsley.
  • Add the shallot dressing and toss well.
  • Sprinkle with the macadamia nuts or almonds, toss & serve.
