Joi Ito's Cooking

One of my favorite restaurants in Palo Alto is Il Fornaio. One of my favorite dishes there was their Shrimp and Endive Salad. I don’t think it’s on the menu anymore. I tried to recreate it by sous vide’ing the shrimp and putting it on an endive salad with a vinaigrette with lemon and parsley. Mizuka did the salad. It turned out pretty close to what I remember from Il Fornaio!

I made croutons from left over crust from Gregg Mucci’s excellent sourdough. The shrimp was from Hooked Fish.
