Bavarian Salad
Crisp greens paired with the robust flavours of our delicious smokies.
Serves 6.
Ingredients:
1 lb. (500 g) new potatoes, scrubbed
2 Freybe Skinless Beef Smokies
1 large egg yolk
2 tbsp (30 ml) white wine vinegar
1 tbsp (15 ml) each of granulated sugar and butter
1 tbsp (15 ml) Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, finely minced
¼
tsp (1.25 ml) salt
¼
cup (50 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup (80 ml) whipping cream
1 heart of Romaine lettuce, thinly shredded, about 3 cups (750 ml)
4 green onions, including tops, thinly sliced
2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh dill
To prepare:
1. Cook potatoes in boiling salted water for 10 to 15 minutes just
until fork tender. Do not overcook. Drain and cool. Cut into chunks
and place in a large bowl.
2. Grill Smokies on a barbecue grill just until heated through. Remove
and slice into bite size pieces. Set aside to cool.
3. In top of a double boiler combine egg yolk, vinegar, sugar, butter,
mustard, garlic, and salt. Add a splash (about a tablespoon) of water.
Blend together and cook on medium low heat over simmering water and stir
until mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Immediately set
top half of double boiler into a sink with cold water to stop the
cooking. Continue to stir until cooled. Stir in lemon juice. Whip
cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold into lemon
cream dressing until blended.
4. Add chunks of Smokies to potatoes along with shredded Romaine,
green onions and dill. Drizzle with ¾ of the dressing and
gently toss together until lightly coated. Divide salad among six
salad plates and drizzle with remaining dressing. Garnish with sprigs
of fresh dill and green onions and serve.
