Wilt a ton of fresh spinach in a wok then dress it in a roasted garlic lemon vinaigrette (recipe below). Then toast several slices of goat cheese (instructions to follow), crisp the prosciutto, and voila a Macaroni Grill copycat recipe.
Roasted Garlic Lemon Vinaigrette
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 ounce roasted garlic
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juice of
Place vinegar, honey, salt and roasted garlic in a food processor. Puree until the garlic is chopped very fine. With the food processor still running, add olive oil and lemon juice. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Toasted Goat Cheese
12 oz. goat cheese
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
1/2 cup walnuts, ground fine
Slice rounds of the goat cheese with a sharp knife that is placed under hot running water after each slice is made. Pat the rounds so that they are firm, with rounded edges, and about 1/2 inch in thickness. Combine the bread crumbs and ground walnuts. Brush the goat cheese rounds with a bit of the walnut or vegetable oil and coat with the crumb mixture. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes, or until the crust is brown.
