Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes
3/4 pound haricots verts (thin french green beans) --
trimmed
1 pound one inch baby pattypan squash -- trimmed
4 bunches baby carrots (about 24) -- trimmed and peeled
3 bunches small radishes (about 24) -- trimmed
for the vinaigrette:
1 large shallot -- chopped
1 large garlic clove -- chopped
2 teaspoons coarse-grained mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
In a large saucepan combine the potatoes with enough cold water to
cover them by 1 inch and simmer them, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes,
or until tender. Drain the potatoes, let them cool completely, and cut
them into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a kettle of boiling water cook
separately the haricots verts, the squash, and the carrots for 3 to 5
minutes each, or until each vegetable is crisp-tender, transferring
them as they are cooked with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold
water to stop the cooking. Transfer the vegetables with the slotted
spoon to paper towels and pat them dry. In the kettle of boiling water
cook the radishes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender,
and transfer them with the slotted spoon to the bowl of ice and cold
water. Drain the radishes and pat them dry. Transfer the vegetables to
5 separate bowls and chill them, covered. The vegetables may be cooked
1 cay in advance and kept covered and chilled.
Make the vinaigrette: In a blender or food processor blend together
the shallots, the garlic, the mustard, the lemon juice, the vinegar,
and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth,
with the motor running add the oil in a stream, and blend the dressing
until it is emulsified.
Divide the vinaigrette evenly among the 5 bowls, toss each vegetable
to coat it with the dressing, and arrange the vegetables decoratively
on a large platter.
