- 1 Head of Romaine Lettuce (Washed & Torn into bite sized Piece)
- 1/2 Med. Bermuda Onion Sliced Thin
- Salad Dressing;
- 3/4 cup ounces olive oil
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger
- 1 clove pressed garlic
- 2 tablespoon's shallots
- 1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, pureed
- 2 tablespoon's raspberry jam
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon white wine
- Spiced Caramelized Walnuts:
- 1 1/2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cups pecan halves
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
- In a large bowl, combine the greens, onion and Raisins. Set aside in fridge to chill.
- Salad Dressing;
- Combine dressing ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl, whisk thoroughly and let stand until ready to use.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the shallots and the mustard. Whisk in the vinegars, and then the olive and vegetable oils. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until needed.
- Yield: 1 1/2 cups
- Spiced Caramelized Walnuts
- In a small deep pot, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. (A deep-frying thermometer can be clipped to the side of the pan so that you can tell when the proper temperature has been reached).
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the walnuts and boil for 2 minutes. Drain in a large strainer, shaking off all excess water. Sprinkle the salt and cayenne pepper over the nuts and then coat with the confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, allowing the sugar to melt into the walnuts. Toss the nuts by shaking the strainer, adding a little more sugar each time, until all the sugar is used and all the nuts are coated. Do not use hands or a spoon to toss. The nuts should have a glaze of sugar.
- Carefully add the nuts to the heated oil, keeping the oil at 350 degrees F. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon to a baking tray to cool.
- Yield: 1 cups
- Toss the salad gently and briefly; you do not want the cheese to crumble any further and clump together.
- Divide the salad among 6 chilled salad plates. Sprinkle with the caramelized walnut's over each serving.
