I've cut the recipe down from what you will see here, but the process is the same. First, toast the sliced almonds over med-low heat...
|
|
|
as you shake the pan while toasting, turn the almonds frequently, stirring to get the color as even as possible...
|
|
|
...resulting in nicely roasted almonds. Allow to cool completely. Set aside. Don't bag 'em- they'll get chewy - you want crunch
|
|
|
Measure out the raisins and set aside
|
|
|
Combine the eggs, egg yolk(s), sugar, dried mustard and cornstarch...
|
|
|
....and the water/vinegar and whisk vigorously to combine well and put a little air into the mixture
|
|
|
Into the double boiler and whisk until you obtain a creamy, bubble-free sauce. Note the side of the pan and the whisk...
|
|
|
Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the mayo and butter
|
|
|
This is the fine sweet & tangly dressing - creamy and rich. Chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours, at least.
|
|
|
THIS is the right thickness for this dressing. Spoon straight down and up without dripping
|
|
|
Blanche the broccoli flowerlets, ice bath, drain and dry on paper towels. Chill in the 'fridge,
|
|
|
For those who don't buy a can of mandarin oranges and drain 'em... here's how to section the navel oranges for the salad
|
|
|
After cutting off the top and bottom of the orange, slice down, just inside the pith. Go around the fruit and trim off as much pith as you can
|
|
|
With a very (always) sharp knife, trim a little V at the section membrane. Remove that pith
|
|
|
...then follow the inside of the membrane to center of the fruit,,,
|
|
|
...the sections should just fall out. You can trim any remaining pith or membrane, but at this point, it's for show 'cuz you already did a fine job
|
|
|
As you do each orange, it's easy to just cut each section in half - doubling your bites! Chill.
|
|
|
You may use strips of thick, smoked bacon - or slab or jowl. If you haven't worked with slab or jowl bacon, here's how to prepare it for this dish.
|
|
|
I always cut from frozen bacon - much easier to work with, no slippin' n slidin', consistent size pieces. 1/4" slices come first...
|
|
|
Trim the rind (on the right) off and discard. Cut 1/4" strips into 1/4" dice
|
|
|
Over a medium flame, begin to brown, moving the bacon around frequently...
|
|
|
until you have a generally consistent pan of browned bacon. Remove with a slotted spoon to cool in a bowl, SAVING the fat for those homefries or cornbread
|
|
|
As the bacon cools, move it to the 'fridge to chill. Done. Now assemble the salad!

Today I'm halving white button and Crimini mushrooms - you can also use baby 'portobellos or your favorite! Enjoy!
