Cranberry Relish with Toasted Walnuts
Fast and fresh, delicious with roast turkey, chicken, pork or ham.
Makes 3 cups
Preparation: 5–10 minutes, plus 10 minutes to toast the walnuts
Preheat oven to 350°F. Put walnuts in a baking pan and toast until golden brown and
fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
Insert metal blade. Process sugar and zest until finely chopped, about 45 seconds. Add
cranberries, orange and reserved nuts; pulse until coarsely chopped, about 10 to 12 times.
Pulse several more times if a finer consistency is desired.
This relish may be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Creamy Chèvre & Peppercorn Dressing
Creamy and tangy, perfect for crisp romaine.
Makes 1¾ cups
Preparation: 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes resting time
Insert the metal blade. With the machine running, drop the shallots down the small feed tube;
process 5 seconds to chop. Add the drained green peppercorns; chop 10 seconds. Remove
and reserve. Process the chèvre, sour cream, lemon juice, white wine vinegar and water until
smooth, 30 seconds. Scrape the work bowl. Return the shallot and peppercorn mixture to
the work bowl; add the salt. With the machine running, add the olive oil through the hole in the
small pusher, processing until completely incorporated and emulsified. Let sit for 30 minutes
before using, to allow the flavors to blend. The dressing will keep for a week in the refrigerator.
