(click here to return to menu.)
SALAD 1 1/2 lb. green
beans, trimmed
2 tbsp. olive oil
Light the grill. Toss the green beans
with the oil. When the coals turn gray, use tongs to set the beans in a single
layer on the grill. Cook them for about 4 minutes, turning them often. The beans
should char in spots, but do not let them burn all over. They are cooked when
they look slightly wilted. Remove the beans from the grill and return them to
the mixing bowl. Cover the salad tightly and refrigerate for several hours or
dress it and serve right away.

c. olive oil
1 head chicory, torn into pieces
1/2 red onion, very finely
chopped

In a bowl, whisk
together the lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the oil,
whisking constantly, until the dressing emulsifies. Arrange the chicory in a
wide, shallow serving bowl. Using tongs, add the green beans. Pour the dressing
over the beans and sprinkle them with chopped onion. Garnish with the onion
quarters and serve at once

some of their liquid and collapse a little. Remove them from the grill and cut
some of the largest mushrooms in half. If the mushrooms are very large, you can
