Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted, roasted cashews, divided
4 tablespoons finely grated Pecorino, divided, plus shaved for serving
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
1 anchovy fillet packed in oil, drained, finely chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon pink peppercorns, crushed, plus more for serving
1/2 bunch collard greens, ribs and stems removed, leaves coarsely torn

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Process 1/2 cup cashews, 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino, and 3 tablespoons water in a food processor, thinning with more water as needed, until a smooth, creamy paste forms; season with salt and black pepper. Set cashew paste aside.

    Step 2

    Whisk anchovy, oil, lime juice, 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns, and 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Coarsely chop remaining 1/2 cup cashews. Add nuts and collard greens to large bowl and toss to coat, gently massaging dressing into leaves with your fingers to bruise and slightly wilt.

    Step 3

    Spread some reserved cashew paste onto each plate and top with salad and shaved Pecorino; sprinkle with more crushed pink peppercorns.
