RECIPE

 

Broccoli, Quinoa and Purslane Salad
By FBWorld Team

Martha Rose Shulman presents food that is vibrant and light, full of nutrients but by no means ascetic, fun to cook and to eat.

Slice the raw broccoli very thin for this delicious salad. If you can't find purslane you can substitute mâche.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. Broccoli Crowns (about 2 large), sliced very thin)
2 tbls. Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbls. Sherry Vinegar
Salt (to taste)
1 Garlic Clove, (puréed)
Freshly Ground Pepper (to taste)
6 tbls. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 lb. Purslane, (thick stems trimmed, or mâche)
1 1/2 cups Cooked Quinoa
2 tbls. Finely Choped Tarragon
1 1/2 cups Wild or Baby Arugula

Procedures:
1. Place the sliced broccoli and all the little bits of florets that remain on your cutting board after you slice it in a large bowl.

2. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt, garlic, pepper and olive oil and toss with the broccoli. Let marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

3. Add the purslane or mâche, the quinoa and the tarragon to the bowl and toss together.

4. Line plates or a platter with the arugula, top with the salad, and serve.

Yield: Serves 4 to 6

Advance preparation: Broccoli retains its color and flavor much better in the presence of a dressing when it isn't cooked. This will keep for a day in the refrigerator.
