Greens

Method

Preparation of Greens

  1. 1

    Wash and Dry the Greens

    Rinse the market greens and chicories thoroughly under cold water. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry them completely.

  2. 2

    Chop the Greens

    Tear the market greens into bite-sized pieces and chop the chicories into thin strips. Place them into a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Fresh Tarragon

    Finely chop the fresh tarragon leaves and sprinkle them over the greens in the bowl.

Preparation of Anchovy Breadcrumbs

  1. 4

    Make Breadcrumbs

    If using stale bread, tear it into small pieces. If using fresh bread, toast it lightly until dry, then tear it. Place the bread in a food processor and pulse until it forms coarse crumbs.

  2. 5

    Prepare Anchovy Mixture

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add anchovy fillets and cook, stirring, until they dissolve into the oil.

  3. 6

    Combine Breadcrumbs and Anchovy Mixture

    Add the bread crumbs to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the anchovy mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until breadcrumbs are crispy. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine Greens and Breadcrumbs

    Pour the crunchy anchovy breadcrumbs over the prepared greens in the salad bowl. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the greens are well coated with the anchovy breadcrumb mixture.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a fresh salad, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 15 minutes before serving for a cooler dish.
