Buttermilk-fried matchstick-cut leeks are the centerpiece of this otherwise simple appetizer or side salad. Recipe courtesy of Andrew Swallow, author of Mixt Salads.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium leeks (white and light-green parts only)
  • 1 qt. buttermilk
  • 4 c. canola oil
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cayenne
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 8 oz. baby arugula
  • 5 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp. aged sherry vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine leeks and buttermilk and set aside. In a large pot fitted with a candy thermometer, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and cayenne. In batches, dredge leeks in flour mixture. Fry until golden, 1 minute. Transfer leeks to a paper-towel-lined plate and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, toss arugula with oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide salad among four plates and top with leeks.
