Salade Liegeoise Recipes

SALADE LIEGEOISE

Steps:

• Boil potatoes (with skins on) in lightly salted water until cooked through but still firm. Remove, peel and set aside. Boil green beans in salted water until just cooked but still firm. Drain well and place in warm serving bowl. Slice potatoes to about 1/4-inch thickness and place in bowl. Keep warm.
• Cut lardon into small squares and cook in skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Sprinkle lardon over salad, reserving 1/3 cup of cooking fat (there probably won't be more than that in pan). Pour fat over salad.
• Place skillet back on burner and pour in vinegar (you can cut down on vinegar according to preference). Bring vinegar to boil while scraping bottom of pan, then pour over salad. Sprinkle onion and parsley over salad, season with salt and pepper, and toss well. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Cook the potatoes in pan covered with water until just fork tender.
• 2. Steam green beans until firm yet cooked.
• 3. Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat. Add the onions and bacon. Continue cooking over medium heat until everything is cooked well, yet the onions retain their shape.
• 4. Slice the cooked potatoes into nice sized pieces and put in a bowl. Add the drained green beans (string beans) and the bacon.
• 5. Add the red wine vinegar to the pan and put on low heat for approximately 1 minute so the vinegar cleans the pan and mixes in with all the remaining grease and flavor. Use a spatula to scrape the vinegar mixture on top of your salad bowl. Add the fruit vinegar. Add a splash of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. More vinegar or olive oil can be added for personal preference.
• 6. Mix and Serve.
