QUICK PICKLED VEGETABLES – DE NIGRIS

Following a recent trip out of town, where one of our most memorable meals started with complimentary crudités, I began to notice that many magazines featured a crudite plate with recipes for various dips and vinaigrettes to accompany them. Since returning home, preparing fresh vegetables and attempting to artfully and enticingly display them on a platter has become a favored early evening routine, usually just for our family, but on occasion we have also served them as antipasto to friends.

As well as crudités, pickled vegetables have been appearing as an appetizer option on restaurant menus with increasing frequency, so I decided to transform our pre-dinner produce plate with the addition of pickled vegetables for a recent dinner party.

Since it was a busy day, filled with cleaning the house, horse riding lessons, a special breakfast with the kids and picking up their friends for a sleep over, I didn’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. Rather than muddle my way through the steps of preparing a pickling brine, I conveniently reached for my bottle of De Nigris Seasoned Italian White Wine Vinegar with Italian Herbs. After sampling a small amount from a spoon, I knew it would be a perfect compliment to the fresh seasonal vegetables. The tartness balanced impeccably with a slight sweetness, and the flavorful herbs.

As a child, cucumbers steeped in vinegar was a summer time dinner staple, so naturally that was the first vegetable I reached for.

After blanching green beans and a beautiful assortment of radishes, I drizzled them with the vinegar. All this was done minutes before our friends arrived, allowing the vegetables time to marinate while guests were being greeted, purses taken, and cocktails mixed.

It has been a long time since I tasted my first ever Thai Green Curry. I was with a dear friend, at an outdoor table in Christchurch, New Zealand. I don’t even remember the name of the restaurant any more, but it felt very daring, adventurous and exotic at the time, and green curry has held a special place in my heart ever since.

THAI GREEN CURRY

thai green curry

2 tablespoons oil, divided

8 ounces pork tenderloin, cut into cubes

1 clove garlic, minced

3 tablespoons Thai green curry paste

1 cup chicken broth

1 red bell pepper, cubed

2 cups green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces

1 tablespoon minced ginger

2 1/2 teaspoons chopped kaffir lime leaves

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1/4 cup Thai basil leaves

black and white sesame seeds, for garnish

Heat a large pan over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat until the oil is very hot and has a shimmer to its appearance. Add the pork and stir-fry until evenly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan. Add remaining oil to the pan. Add the garlic and curry paste and cook until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a simmer, about 1 minute. Add the red pepper, green beans, ginger, lime leaves and fish sauce. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the pork and cook until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the basil leaves.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Enjoy!

dried cherries, green beans, side, table setting, Thanksgiving, vinaigrette

I have made this dish several times before, and have always loved it. We had friends over for dinner, and I thought this would fit perfectly into the menu. A delicious cheese with rustic bread, a very special, velvety soup, these green beans as a complimentary side to the roasted salmon we served, all finished off with a light and airy pavlova.
I decorated the table with parsley in different clay pots, and gave them to our guests at the end of the evening, along with homemade granola.
It was a wonderful evening, with dear friends and great conversation abounding throughout every course.

GREEN BEANS WITH TOASTED WALNUTS AND DRIED CHERRY VINAIGRETTE

1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup shallots, finely chopped
4 tablespoons cooking sherry
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup dried cherries
1 pound haricots verts
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Whisk olive oil, shallots, sherry, cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir in dried cherries.
Cook green beans in a large pot of boiling, salted water until crisp tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and toss with vinaigrette and walnuts.
Enjoy!
