Photo: Chilled Stone Crab Claws with a Hearts of Palm Salad and Honey Tangerine Gastrique Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup honey tangerine juice
- 8 fresh hearts of palm
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced roasted red bell peppers
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced roasted yellow bell peppers
- 2 medium honey tangerines, peeled, pith removed and segmented
- 1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves
- 2 cups chiffonade fresh spinach, stems removed
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil
- 4 pounds stone crab claws, cooked, shells cracked and removed, and chilled
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
In a small nonreactive saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, and fruit juice, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by three-fourths, or the mixture has thickened like syrup. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture into a small glass bowl. Let cool completely. Slice each heart of palm into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine the hearts of palm, onions, peppers, tangerine segments, tarragon and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with enough olive oil to moisten the salad. In another mixing bowl, toss the crab claws with olive oil, salt and pepper. To serve, mound the hearts of palm salad in the center of each plate. Lay a couple of the crab claws around the salad. Drizzle the entire plate with the Gastrique. Garnish with parsley.
