Tender Bibb lettuce comes from Kentucky. Dress it up with bourbon-infused vinaigrette, and serve with Country Ham Corn Cakes. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups pecan halves and pieces |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
3 tablespoons light brown sugar |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
6 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled |
8 cups torn bibb lettuce (2 to 3 medium heads) |
4 cups trimmed watercress |
4 large peaches, peeled and sliced |
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced |
4 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled |
bourbon vinaigrette |
country ham corn cakes |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Toss pecans in butter. Stir together brown sugar and red pepper in a bowl; add pecans, tossing to coat. Spread pecans in a single layer in a lightly greased aluminum foil-lined shallow pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned, toasted, and fragrant. Remove from oven, and toss pecans with crumbled bacon. Cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes; separate pecans with a fork.
2. Combine Bibb lettuce, next 3 ingredients, and pecan mixture in a large bowl. Top with crumbled cheese. Serve with Bourbon Vinaigrette and Country Ham Corn Cakes.
