What do you get when you combine a thirst from a hangover and a hunger from being a fat ass? Fat Salad. Fat Salad is a delicious wet and crunchy salad, layered with the meatiest, creamiest, endulgentiest morsels. You can really do it with anything. You may remember a little something called Something Meaty on Something Greeny? Yep, here we are again. And this time, I’m throwing on some egg yolk. Be forewarned, you will tear this mother up.
Oh, actual useful note: choose two of the three suggested highlighted items: shitakes, sopressata and asparagus. My rec is you do vagitarian OR the sopressata and the asparagus. Not that shitakes and sopressata are like Charlie and fingers, but I’m not sure they do anything for each other. Or not. Be all the fat you can be.
Fat Salad
Salad greens for 2, prob something not too strong like mesclun
Sopressata, sliced in strips. you can also use a high quality salami, etc.
1 tbs salted butter
6 large, fresh shitake caps
15 ish stalks of asparagus
Tad bit of olive oil
4 eggs
Fresh pepper
Olive oil for garnish
Serves 2.
Slice your mushroom caps. Heat a skillet with butter. Yeah – I said butter. Toss in the shrooms and saute until soft and buttery. While cooking, put a small pot of salted water on to boil. Trim your asparagus stalks and cut in half. Put your greens on your plate – this shit is going to move fast. After your pork product is sliced, beautifully distribute over the greens. At this point, your shrooms are probably done and your water is probably boiling. Set the mushrooms aside and toss in a bit of olive into the same pan. Over medium to high heat, crack your eggs for a good fry up. The goal is to produce a quick cook of the whites with a crunchy outside, while maintaining a yolky middle.
As soon as you crack your eggs, throw your asparagus in the boiling water. Let em blanch for 60 seconds. At this point, your eggs are probably ready too. Crack some pepper over them bad boys. Now we layer.
On the lettuce and sopressata, put the mushrooms. Then the asparagus. The the eggs. Drizzle just a tiny ass bit of olive on the outer leaves that didnt get blessed by the delicious juices from your hot shit.
Best bite: yolky lettuce and sopressata
I ate this with 2 vodka sodas. Not a bad idea to include. Just sayin.
