Malanga Pancakes With Caviar And Vodka Cumin Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
• Whisk 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon melted butter together in a separate bowl. Mix into the flour mixture until batter is fully combined.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Drop batter, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles form, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until brown, about 1 minute more. Lay on plate lined with a paper towel to help soak up excess butter. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Steps:

• Char the peppers over a flame; place in a bowl and cover to steam until cooled. Peel and seed, reserving the juice.
• Melt the butter in a saucepot and cool. Puree three-quarters of the bell peppers in a blender, then dice and reserve the remainder.
• Whisk to combine the butter, egg yolks, and bell pepper puree. Mix together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until smooth, then chill 10 minutes. Whip egg whites until they hold stiff peaks and fold them into the red pepper batter.
• Form the smoked salmon into rosettes.
• Spoon 1/4 cup pancake batter onto a greased pancake skillet over medium heat. Cook until bubbles start to appear, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until the bottom is slightly golden, about 3 minutes more.
• Top each pancake with 1 tablespoon of the sauce and a smoked salmon rosette. Dollop a dot of creme fraiche in the center of each rosette. Top with caviar and chives.

Steps:

• Cook butter in a very small saucepan over moderate heat, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown (be careful not to let it burn). Keep butter warm.
• Spread each pancake with about 1 tablespoon sour cream (to taste) and top with about 1 teaspoon caviar. Sprinkle with some of yolk and scallion. Stack 3 pancakes on each of 2 plates and drizzle with brown butter.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and grate them lengthwise. Place them in a colander or kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Combine the potatoes in a bowl with the egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of clarified butter in a skillet. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the sizzling butter. Flatten with a spatula and cook for 2 minutes. Turn, flatten again, and cook for another 2 minutes, until crisp on the outside and golden brown. Serve the pancakes hot from the skillet with a dollop of creme fraiche and a teaspoon of caviar.
• Note: To make 6 tablespoons of clarified butter, slowly melt 8 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan. Set it aside until the milk solids settle. Spoon off any solids that rise to the top and then carefully pour off the golden liquid, leaving the milky part in the bottom of the pan. Clarified butter has a higher burning temperature than melted butter.

Steps:

• Grind peppercorns and coriander in coffee grinder until coarse. Put this mixture in a bowl and add dill, salt, and sugar. Coat both sides of salmon with this mix and chill for 1 hour.
• Rub cure off salmon and dry any moisture with a towel before slicing into 1-inch thick pieces.
• Heat a couple tablespoons of oil and butter together in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add as many salmon pieces as will fit, and sear until medium rare or cooked to desired degree of doneness, turning pieces when halfway through cooking. Repeat as needed. Serve salmon with Carrot Tortellini and Red Pepper-Cumin Sauce.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Boil carrots until completely cooked, drain, and then dry on a sheet pan in the oven until dried. Puree carrots in a blender while still hot. Add hot browned butter and puree until combined. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin powder, to taste. Set aside until cooled. When cooled, put mixture in a pastry bag.
• Put flour and salt in a food processor and blend for 15 seconds. With machine on, add yolks, egg, and oil. When dough starts to form a ball, remove from processor and finish kneading by hand. Wrap dough in plastic and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Set the smooth rollers of a pasta maker at the widest setting. Feed dough through the rollers. Reduce setting and repeat process until pasta maker is at narrowest setting. Avoid using too much extra flour, which will make the tortellini hard to close later. Cut pasta sheets into 2-inch circles or squares. Place a teaspoonful of filling in the center. Fold in half to form a half-circle and bring the 2 points of the half-circle together, curling the tortellini around the finger to form a little 'ring,' pinching edges together. You can freeze until ready to cook.
• To cook, drop tortellini in salted boiling water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Strain and serve.
• In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, saute shallots and peppers in butter. Add cumin, salt, and pepper, to taste. Deglaze with vinegar and white wine and cook until reduced by 3/4. Add veal stock and simmer slowly for 15 minutes. Strain through a chinois and chill until ready to use.

Steps:

• Add the malanga to a food processor and pulse until a pasty-like consistency forms, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Using a mortar, mash the chile, parsley and the salt. Heat the 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over low heat, add the Spices and Herbs Seasoning and saute for 1 minute. Add to the bowl with the malanga paste. Stir in the black pepper, cover and let stand for 1 hour. The batter can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
• Coat a heavy pan, with oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, drop the batter by tablespoons into the hot oil. Do not crowd. Fry the fritters until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the fritters to paper towels to drain. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.
• Put the 10 first ingredients in a blender or a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the parsley and stir to combine.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add salmon and tomato and season with salt and pepper.
• Increase heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour in vodka, reduce heat, and simmer, until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer until liquid reduced by half again, 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, add to sauce and toss to coat.
• Serve sprinkled with caviar and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• In mixing bowl, combine potato starch, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In separate bowl, mix buttermilk, egg and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry, and whisk into a batter.
• Place a griddle or skillet over medium heat, and brush with melted butter. When griddle is hot, spoon scant tablespoons of batter onto it, about 2 inches apart. After a few minutes pancakes will rise. There will not be many bubbles on the surface. When bottoms are set and golden brown, flip them over, and cook until the other side is golden brown. Serve with caviar and sour cream. Pancakes may be frozen.
