Lefse Hot Dogs With Fennel Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together the flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl or in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Combine the water, milk and olive oil in a small bowl or measuring cup, then stir it into the flour mixture. Knead, either by hand on a lightly floured surface or with the stand mixer on medium speed, adding more flour if needed, until smooth, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Mix the ketchup and harissa together in a small bowl until smooth and combined. Set aside.
• Oven method: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and keep it covered when you're not working with it. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll out a long skinny snake and wrap it firmly and evenly around a hot dog. Roll it back and forth on your work surface a couple of times so that the coils of the dough stick together, then place it on the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining dough and hot dogs, placing them 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Let them rise for 30 more minutes and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Beat together the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the tops and sides of the dough evenly with the egg wash. Bake until lightly browned, about 18 minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy with lots of harissa ketchup.
• Campfire method: Start a bonfire! For each bagel dog, wrap a piece of foil around one end of a long 1-inch-diameter wooden dowel so that it covers about 6 inches of length at the tip. (Just the tip.) Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and keep it covered when you're not working with it. Take a piece of dough and roll it into a snake; wrap it firmly around the foil-covered part of the dowel. Roll it between your hands a few times to make sure there are no holes in the dough, then stick it right above the fire. Rotate it so that it cooks evenly and cook it gradually until it is browned evenly on all sides. (Make sure that it's not touching the fire at all; otherwise it will brown quickly on the outside but still be raw on the inside.) As you cook the bagel, stick a hot dog or sausage on a pointy stick and warm it right alongside the bagel in the fire. Let the bagel cool briefly, then remove it from the dowel, using a paper towel to shield your hands in case it's still quite hot. The bagel should slip off pretty easily. If it doesn't, cook it a little bit longer.
• Slide the hot dog or sausage into the bagel coil and enjoy with the harissa ketchup! Repeat with the remaining dough and hot dogs.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes very well until dry.
• Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Add the butter, sugar, cream and salt and mix well to combine. Add the flour and knead well to incorporate.
• Preheat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Generously dust a work surface with flour. Scoop a level 1/3 cup of dough. Dust your hands with flour and roll the dough into a ball, then flatten it into a disc and place it on the work surface. Dust the top with flour and roll it out to a thin, 8-inch round, moving the round often to ensure it doesn't stick.
• Carefully lift the round with your hands or the rolling pin and lay it in the preheated skillet. Cook until the underside is golden brown in spots, about 1 minute. Flip the lefse and cook until spotted on the underside, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a clean dish towel or paper towel. Repeat with the remaining dough, stacking the lefse between towels.
• Serve with the Lingonberry Cream Cheese.
• Beat the cream cheese, sour cream and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour into a serving bowl and swirl in the lingonberry preserves until just barely mixed and still streaky. Top with the lemon zest.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix by hand sour milk or buttermilk, corn syrup, sugar, soda, cardamom, and flour until mixture becomes a soft pliable dough.
• Divide the dough into 12 or so pieces. Roll out each piece until about 1/8 inch thick.
• Bake on a lightly floured griddle over very low heat for 12 to 15 minutes per side. Serve warm with your favorite cheese or jam.

Steps:

• Wearing surgical gloves, steam red and white potatoes with skin still on them, until tender. Remove from steamer and cool. After steamed potatoes cool down, remove the skins and mash really well. Rinse 5 cups of the potatoes and mix with dried potatoes, flour, salt, powdered sugar, butter, and margarine with a pastry blender and knead well.
• Preheat an electric, teflon-coated griddle to 500 degrees F. You can also use a large, nonstick pan heated over high heat. Shape dough into golf ball size balls and roll in flour. Cover, and refrigerate for 3 hours, or overnight. Remove balls and slam on well-floured board. Use a notched rolling pin with a cloth cover to flatten and shape balls into very thin circles. The thinner you roll the circles out, the better. Use fresh flour on both cutting board and rolling pin after each ball has been flattened.
• Cook flattened balls on the griddle for 8 to 10 seconds on each side. Brush excess flour from lefse after baking and lay between 2 layers of dishtowels. Brush remaining flour off of grill each time. Package in zip lock bags and freeze or refrigerate immediately.

Steps:

• In a dry pan, toast the oregano for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden but not burned.
• In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice, salt, pepper and oregano together. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly until emulsified.
• Trim the stalks of the fennel down to the bulb and discard. Quarter the bulbs and trim away the triangle of core at the base. Slice the fennel as thinly as possible.
• In a serving bowl, toss the fennel, red pepper and the dressing together until the vegetables are evenly coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 hour before serving, and toss again just before serving.

Steps:

• Rub the pork with the lemon zest and fennel seeds, then heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Brown the chops for 3 mins on each side, then remove from the heat. Splash over half the lemon juice, season, then leave to rest while you make the salad.
• Mix together the sliced fennel, apple, onion, mayo mix and nuts. Season with black pepper and squeeze in the remaining lemon juice to taste. Serve the pork with the pan juices spooned over, and the fennel slaw on the side. Great with jacket potatoes.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook potatoes until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well.
• Rice potatoes into a large bowl, continuing until you have 8 cups. Add oil, evaporated milk, sugar and salt, and mix well. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for a few hours, or overnight.
• When ready to make lefse, add 2 1/2 cups flour and mix well. Divide dough into two logs if you have a lefse grill, and four if you do not. Dough should be sticky and hold together, but not so sticky it's impossible to work with; if necessary, add remaining 1/2 cup flour. Cut each log into 9 or 10 pieces, shape into small balls and place on plates in refrigerator.
• If you have a lefse grill, heat it to 400 degrees. If you don't have a lefse grill, set a wide, low-lipped nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
• Generously dust work space with flour and flour a rolling pin. Roll one dough ball in flour, then use the heel of your hand to press it into a thick disk. If you have a lefse grill, gently roll dough into a large, thin circle (if you are using a regular pan, roll into a thin circle just smaller than the size of your pan), lifting and flipping frequently so it doesn't stick; use more flour as needed. Brush excess flour from dough. Use a lefse stick to carefully transfer to grill (use a thin spatula if cooking in a pan). Cook for 1 minute, or until lefse is steaming and small bubbles appear on uncooked side. Using lefse stick or spatula, flip lefse and cook for 45 seconds or so. Place lefse on a clean dish towel and cover with another. Repeat, stacking lefse atop one another between the dish towels.

Steps:

• For the slaw, pick the leafy fronds from the fennel and set aside. Discard any grubby outer layers, quarter the bulb and then slice as finely as you can. Mix with the lemon juice and leave to marinate for 1 hr, stirring every now and then.
• Drain the fennel. Mix the salad cream and yogurt in a big bowl, then add the fennel, remaining slaw ingredients, the fennel fronds (chopped) and some pepper, then mix well.
• When ready to serve, split the rolls and warm in a low oven. For the fish, mix the flour with the paprika and some salt on a plate. Dip in the fish fillets and coat well. Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan (non-stick if you have), and fry the fish for a couple of mins on each side until cooked through and it flakes. Divide the fish between the rolls with the slaw and eat straight away. Any leftover slaw will be good for 2-3 days in the fridge.

Steps:

• Place all the vegetables in a bowl, then toss well. Stir in the mayonnaise to coat the salad, then season with lots of black pepper and a little salt. Any leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two days.
