Ingredients:
0.25 Cup ice, crushed
0.5 Cup oil, grape seed
1 Head lettuce, Boston torn into bite-size pieces
1 to taste salt and pepper
|
Directions:
To make the Madeira reduction:
Simmer the Madeira in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat for 35 minutes, or until it is reduced to 2 tablespoons (for ever 2 cups) and forms a syrupy consistency. Set aside.
To make the salad:
Mix the chili and cilantro in a small bowl. Coat the cheese with the herbs and set aside to marinate while heating the oil and preparing the batter. Add enough vegetable oil to a large saucepan to reach the depth of 3 inches/7 cm. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees.
Place the crushed ice in a large bowl. Stir in the cold water. Using your fingers, slowly stir 1 cup of the flour (per 4 servings) into the ice water just until a thin batter forms and a few lumps of flour are still visible. The less the batter is mixed, the crispier the coating will be.
Lightly coat the marinated cheese with the remaining flour. Working in batches, dip the cheese in the batter to coat, and deep fry for 2 minutes, or until the coating is crisp and the cheese begins to melt. Using tongs, transfer the fried cheese to absorbent paper to drain the excess oil.
Meanwhile, place the lemon juice in a medium bowl and gradually whisk in the grape seed oil to blend completely. Toss the lettuces in a large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the salad among plates. Place the fried cheese atop the salads. Drizzle the Madeira reduction over the salads and serve immediately. |
