Ingredients:


1/2 cup sliced brazil nuts

1 large egg

1 clove garlic -- crushed

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons grated romano cheese

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper to taste

1/2 cup virgin olive oil

1 pound mixed greens* -- torn in bite-size piece
 

Preparation / Directions:


*Packaged, pre-washed European blend is recommended First, slice the Brazil nuts. In a saucepan, cover the nuts with cold water and slowly bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove nuts with a slotted spoon, and when they are cool enough to work with, slice with a sharp knife. This method allows you to cut the nuts without breaking them. Set aside two (2) tablespoons of nuts as a garnish. Cook egg in boiling water for just 1 minute; remove and set aside. In a salad bowl, mash garlic clove and salt together with a fork. Add lemon juice, dry mustard, soy sauce, Romano cheese, pepper, and egg. Whisk thoroughly. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and add sliced Brazil nuts. Saute until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Remove nuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While whisking the dressing, add the hot oil in a slow stream. Add the greens to the bowl and toss thoroughly. Sprinkle with reserved nuts and serve.
