Ever heard of frisee? Probably not... but you should! It's a bitter, hearty tasting green that is much yummier than it sounds. I never would've known its existence if it hadn't been this fancy-dancy little restaurant I lived near, and used to have dinner at semi-frequently. I don't remember why exactly I was drawn to their frisee salad, other than that it was one of their cheaper options. But it's one of those meals that I still think about from time to time... three years later.
This is a pretty accurate attempt at recreating it, yet it's the simplest thing EVER. You will need approximately two ingredients: Butter and frisee lettuce.
Now you may be thinking- "Butter on greens??? No way." Except... yes. You don't just pour straight butter all over lettuce, you brown it first. Take about a Tbs of butter, and melt it on medium/ high heat. It will brown up quite quickly.
After the butter is done, wait a few minutes for it to cool off.
Then slowly drizzle the butter on 2 cups of frisee in a bowl, and toss it with a fork to coat it. This will make one serving.
It's not your typical salad. But it is delish nonetheless :)
♥ watch my new video for "just the way you are" on youtube!! ♥
May have to try this if I can find that kind of lettuce :)
ReplyDeleteyes, it's a pretty random type! my supermarket sells the earthbound organic brand, and that's what i used for this.
Deletei usually put a little sage in my browned butter and put it on pasta! i'll have to try this!
ReplyDeleteSAGE. OMG. thank you for this.
DeleteI should try this!
ReplyDeletedefinitely :)
DeleteOh my! I never usually go for frisee - but this has browned butter on it! Sounds absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeleteyes, frisee is definitely "different" tasting (and looking). but the saltiness of the butter balances out the bitterness, imo. x
Deleteooh! I will definitely need to try this :)
