Radicchio and Escarole Salad with Barley and Roasted Pears Prep: 15 minutes Total: 55 minutes This recipe uses 8 to 10 cups of greens. Experiment with different varieties of chicory, such as endive, radicchio, and escarole. Ingredients | |
1 head | radicchio, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges |
1 small head | escarole, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges |
2 tablespoons | extra-virgin olive oil |
Coarse salt | |
freshly ground pepper | |
2 Bosc pears, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges | |
1 tablespoon | fresh thyme |
1 cup | water |
1/2 cup | pearl barley, rinsed |
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon | white-wine vinegar |
1/2 cup | finely grated Parmesan cheese, (1/2 ounce) |
Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees with 1 rack in the middle position and 1 rack immediately below it. Toss radicchio and escarole with 2 teaspoons | |
oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Arrange in a single | |
layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss pears with 1 teaspoon oil, 2 teaspoons thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Arrange in a single layer on another rimmed baking sheet. Roast radicchio mixture on bottom rack until tender, about 25 minutes, and pears on middle rack until tender, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add barley. Simmer, covered, until tender, 22 to 25 minutes. Whisk vinegar with remaining tablespoon oil and teaspoon thyme, 1/2 | |
teaspoon | salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl. Drain barley, stir |
into vinaigrette.
Mound Parmesan onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a nonstick
baking mat, and spread into a 6-inch circle.
Transfer radicchio-escarole mixture to bowl with barley. Cover with
plastic wrap to keep warm and to allow radicchio to wilt. As pears
continue to cook, bake Parmesan on bottom oven rack until deep golden
brown, 9 to 11 minutes.
Toss pears with barley. Divide salad among 4 plates. Break Parmesan
crisp into pieces; place on top of each salad. Serve warm.
