Ingredients

  • 3 bunches Tuscan kale, rinsed and stems removed, cut into 1/4-inch-thick ribbons
  • 1 small fennel bulb, shaved into thin ribbons
  • 1 small leek, white part cut into 1/8-inch thick circles, soaked in water for 2 to 3 minutes to remove any dirt, then drained
  • 4 red radishes, cut into thin circles
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup smoked almonds
  • 1/2 cup Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette, recipe follows
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Oil, for frying eggs
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 shallot, chopped
  • 1/2 preserved lemon, pulp discarded, rind only
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup pure olive oil

Method

  • Toss the kale, fennel, leek, radishes, Parmesan and almonds together with the lemon vinaigrette and season well with the salt and pepper.
  • Allow this to marinate for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
  • When ready to serve, heat a large saute pan over high heat and add oil.
  • Once heated, add 2 to 3 eggs to the pan and cook sunny-side up for about 2 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve on top of individually plated portions of slaw.
  • Reserve any leftover dressing for serving.
  • Any leftover salad will still be as good the next day.
  • Place the shallot, preserved lemon rind, honey, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt and pepper in a blender.
  • Pulse to blend.
  • With the motor running, slowly add in the olive oils to emulsify.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
