Mâche is sold in different ways sometimes it comes in a package with soil plugs attached and sometimes you can find it loose, like mesclun. If you're buying it with plugs attached, you'll need 1 1/2 pounds; if you're buying it loose, you'll need 5 ounces. Ingredients
1 yolk from a large hard-boiled egg 2 3/4 teaspoons white-wine vinegar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 cup olive oil 16 cups loosely packed mche (lamb's lettuce; see above)
Preparation
Crumble yolk into a blender, then add vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper and blend until combined well. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream, blending until combined well.
Toss mche with vinaigrette just before serving.
Cooks' note:
Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature, then whisk until combined
