Best Shaved Artichoke Salad With Pine Nuts And Parmesan Cheese Recipes

SHAVED ARTICHOKE SALAD WITH PARSLEY AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Halve each artichoke heart lengthwise.
• Thinly slice the hearts, tossing with 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice as you slice (to avoid discoloration).
• Arrange on a platter, top with Parmesan, and drizzle with olive oil and remaining lemon juice. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle nuts and parsley over the top, and serve immediately.

SHAVED ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare artichokes by trimming stem, cutting off pointed tips and removing tough leaves. Slice thinly with mandoline. As each artichoke is finished, drop slices into a bowl of cold water with about 10 percent vinegar or lemon juice.
• Slice Parmesan with mandoline, creating as many pieces as you have artichoke slices, and about the same size.
• Remove artichoke slices from water and dry, then toss with olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Sprinkle with a little salt and a fair amount of pepper, then lay Parmesan on top. Taste and add more olive oil, lemon juice, salt or pepper as needed. Garnish with herbs and lemon zest and serve.

SHAVED FENNEL, ARTICHOKE, AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• Pare the artichokes down to their hearts and scoop out the chokes with a spoon, dropping them into water acidulated with the juice of 1 of the lemons.
• Cut off the feathery tops of the fennel at the base of their stalks and remove the outer layer of the bulbs. Slice the bulbs very thin with a mandolin or a very sharp knife. Remove the artichoke hearts from the water and slice them very thin the same way.
• Assemble the salad in layers on a large platter or on individual salad plates. First make a layer of the fennel slices. Squeeze lemon juice evenly over the fennel and drizzle with salt and pepper. Then make a layer of the artichoke hearts, also slice very thin. Squeeze more lemon juice over them, drizzle evenly with another third of the oils, and season with salt and pepper. Cut thin shavings of the Parmesan with cheese slicer or a vegetable peeler and arrange them on top of the artichoke slices. Scatter the parsley leaves over the cheese, season with salt and pepper, squeeze more lemon juice over, and drizzle evenly with the rest of the oils. Serve immediately.

SHAVED ARTICHOKE SALAD WITH PINE NUTS AND PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• One artichoke at a time, peel away outer leaves, leaving tender pale green leaves. Cut off stem and spiny tops of leaves. Cut artichoke in half lengthwise and remove fibrous choke. Slice artichoke as thinly as possible and place in a bowl. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over it, and toss well. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
• Add parsley, pine nuts and radicchio to bowl. Pour olive oil over mixture, and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Add cheese, and toss gently. Taste for seasoning, and serve immediately.
