Recipe by Zach Pollack Puntarelle is a crisp, spiky Italian green related to chicory. If you can get it, you’re in luck. If not, escarole is a great substitute.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coarsely torn fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • 8 oil-packed anchovy fillets
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 ounce Parmesan, finely grated (about 1 cup), plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 dashes hot sauce (preferably Tabasco)
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 cups thinly sliced puntarelle or torn escarole leaves
  • 4 boquerones (marinated white anchovies), chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F. Toss breadcrumbs with oil and dried oregano on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt. Toast, tossing halfway through for even browning, until golden brown, 8 –10 minutes. Let cool.
  2. While the bread is toasting, blend anchovies, egg yolk, shallot, garlic, Parmesan, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce in a blender until smooth. With motor running, gradually stream in both oils; blend until smooth and emulsified. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
  3. Toss puntarelle, boquerones (if using), and 2 Tbsp. dressing in a large bowl (reserve remaining dressing for another use); season with salt.
  4. Serve salad topped with breadcrumbs and more Parmesan.
