Mizuna With Hot Garlic And Shallot Dressing Recipes

MIZUNA WITH HOT GARLIC AND SHALLOT DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat oil in large sauce pan. Saute shallots, then add garlic and heat about 1 minute until fragrant.
• Stir in vinegar, and pour over washed greens.
• Serve immediately.

MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE THAT'S GOOD ON ANYTHING

Steps:

• Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
• With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
• Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.

MUSTARD-SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a container with a tight lid, preferably a glass jar, combine shallot, vinegar and mustard. Close tightly and shake well to mix. Add salt and pepper, and shake again.
• Add olive oil 1/3 cup at a time, shaking very well after each addition, until smooth and emulsified (you may want to wrap a kitchen towel around the container, just in case). Taste and add more olive oil, 1/4 cup at a time, if dressing is too tart.
• Use immediately or refrigerate up to 3 weeks. The chilled olive oil will form a lump, so remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before using to allow it to liquefy. Shake well before serving to re-emulsify.

SPICED FILLET OF BEEF WITH MIZUNA SALAD

Steps:

• For beef:
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Toast peppercorns, cumin, and coriander , then cool completely. Grind spices with red pepper flakes in an electric coffee/spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Stir in kosher salt.
• Pat beef dry and sprinkle with spices on all sides, pressing to adhere. Heat oil in a large flameproof roasting pan set across 2 burners over high heat until just smoking, then brown beef on all sides, about 2 minutes.
• Roast in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center registers 120°F, about 25 minutes. Let beef stand in pan 25 minutes. Beef will continue to cook as it stands, reaching 130°F (medium-rare).
• Make salad and slice beef:
• Whisk together oil, lemon juice, shallot, and salt in a bowl, then add pepper to taste.
• Untie beef if necessary, then slice. Toss mizuna with dressing and serve beef topped with salad.
