CHOPPED SALAD WITH FETA AND PINE NUTS



Chopped Salad With Feta and Pine Nuts image

Chopping the lettuce gives this salad a nice texture. I always receive compliments when I serve it. From June 2002 issue of Bon Appetit. The dressing goes well over any tossed salad; chopped or not!

Provided by Diana Moutsopoulos

Categories     Salad

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 red onions, sliced
4 tablespoons pine nuts
5 ounces crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place butternut squash in a baking dish dish, cut-side down. Fill baking dish with 1/2 inch of water.
  • Roast squash in the preheated oven until tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Add more water to the baking dish, if necessary, while roasting. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of water to release the caramelized bits from the bottom of the skillet, if necessary.
  • Meanwhile, place pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Once butternut squash is cool enough to handle, remove skin and dice into 1-inch pieces.
  • Combine squash, caramelized onions, toasted pine nuts, feta cheese, mint, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss salad to combine all ingredients, then transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to serve, if desired.

GRILLED TOMATOES AND ONIONS WITH FETA-HARISSA PINE NUTS



Grilled Tomatoes and Onions With Feta-Harissa Pine Nuts image

This falls somewhere between a mezze salad, a sauce and a dip. It is rich and intense on its own but great as part of a meal with warm flatbreads, soft-boiled eggs and perhaps some labneh or thick yogurt on the side. Try to get your hands on the best-quality tomatoes you can find; the simplicity of this dish really lets the fresh vegetables sing. This is lovely eaten warm or at room temperature. It reheats quite well, its flavors intensifying as they sit overnight, and can be repurposed as a sauce spooned over grilled meats, couscous or pasta.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons/75 milliliters olive oil
1 pound/450 grams red onions, each peeled and cut through the core into 8 wedges
2 red bell peppers (10 ounces/285 grams), seeded, stemmed and cut into 1-inch/3-centimeter pieces
2 jalapeños, cut into 1/3-inch/1-centimeter-thick rounds, stems discarded
1 head garlic, halved horizontally, cloves split in half
3 1/4 pounds/1 1/2 kilograms plum tomatoes
1/2 cup/20 grams roughly chopped fresh cilantro (coriander), plus 1 tablespoon, for garnish
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
Kosher salt
4 ounces/115 grams cherry tomatoes with the vine attached
4 ounces/115 grams Greek feta, roughly crumbled into large chunks
1/4 cup/25 grams pine nuts
1/2 tablespoon harissa paste

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit/245 degrees Celsius. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil, the onions, bell peppers, jalapeños and garlic to a large 10-by-13-inch/26-by-34-centimeter roasting pan (tin) and give everything a good stir. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring two to three times, until softened and well charred. Remove the garlic halves and use a small knife to remove the cloves, adding them back into the roasting pan (tin) and discarding the papery skins.
  • Meanwhile, use a small knife to remove the core from the plum tomatoes and then carve a small X mark across the bottom of each tomato. Add half the plum tomatoes to the simmering water and blanch just until the skins begin to pull away from the flesh, about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the plum tomatoes to a large colander to drain, then repeat with the remaining plum tomatoes. Once cool enough to handle, peel the plum tomatoes, discarding the skins, then roughly chop the flesh, seeds and all.
  • Add the plum tomatoes, 1/2 cup/20 grams cilantro (coriander), coriander seeds and 1 3/4 teaspoons salt to the roasting pan (tin) and use the back of a large spoon to mash everything together, breaking up the garlic and jalapeños a little. Return to the oven for another 35 minutes, stirring twice throughout, or until the tomatoes have broken down and the mixture has thickened. Remove from the oven and set the oven to the broil (grill) setting.
  • Top the charred vegetables with the cherry tomatoes and feta and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Return to the oven on the middle rack and broil (grill) until the feta and cherry tomatoes have taken on some color, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-high. Once hot, add the pine nuts and cook until golden, shaking the skillet frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully stir in the harissa, then transfer to a small bowl.
  • When ready to serve, spoon the harissa pine nuts all over the vegetables and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro (coriander).
