Arugula With Grilled Plums Recipes

ARUGULA SALAD WITH GRILLED FRUIT

Steps:

• For the Vinaigrette: Combine the balsamic vinegar and shallot in a small bowl. Slowly pour the olive into the bowl, whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the Arugula Salad: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush the apricots with the olive oil and grill for 2 minutes on each side. On the other side of the grill cook the pancetta slices on each side, until crispy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• To serve: Place the arugula in a large salad bowl. Slice the grilled apricots and add to the bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss to lightly coat the arugula. Crumble the pancetta over the top and sprinkle with the hazelnuts. Serve immediately.
• *Cook's Note: You can use any stone fruit such as peaches or plums. Red apples or figs are also great alternatives.

GRILLED PLUM SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high.
• For the dressing: In a large bowl whisk together the honey, vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt until emulsified. Set the bowl aside.
• For the salad: Drizzle the plums with the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place the plums on the hot grill and cook until golden brown all over, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
• Add the radicchio and endive to the bowl with the dressing, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss well to coat. Add the plums and toss gently. Sprinkle with the feta and pistachios.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS AND PLUMS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the pork chops until lightly charred with strong grill marks, about 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until just slightly pink near the bone, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the pork chops to a cutting board to rest for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the plums with 2 teaspoons of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, flipping once, until softened with grill marks, about 2 minutes per side. Cut into wedges.
• Toss the arugula and parsley with the lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 plates and top with the plum wedges. Serve with the pork chops.

GRILLED STONEFRUIT, ARUGULA, AND BRESAOLA SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat a grill with medium-high heat. Toss the plums in 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fruit over medium-high heat until marked and slightly soft, about 2 minutes per side.
• 2. Lay 2 slices bresaola onto each of 4 plates. Roll up 2 additional slices bresaola and cut into strips; set aside.
• 3. Whisk together the lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the arugula and toss to coat. Top the bresaola with the arugula and grilled fruit. Top each salad with 1/4 burrata and sliced bresaola.
