Stone Crab Johnny Cakes With Grainy Mustard Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling water, boil the stone crab claws for 8 minutes. Bring the internal temperature of the claws down to 70 degrees F by immersing them in a pot of 50 degree F water for another 8 minutes. Refrigerate with plenty of ice.
• Crack the claws and serve.

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, ancho powder, mustard, and lemon juice. Serve as a dip for crab claws.

Steps:

• For the horseradish creme fraiche: Whisk together the creme fraiche, horseradish and mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt, and pepper, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
• For the Johnny cakes: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the egg yolks and milk together in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk the egg whites in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Add the egg-milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the egg whites, then 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and mix until the batter is just smooth. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick saute pan or cast iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush with some of the remaining melted butter. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of the batter into the pan for each johnnycake and using a small offset spatula, spread the batter slightly to even out the top. Cook until lightly golden brown on each side, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Top each cake with a small dollop of the creme fraiche and some of the trout. Garnish with parsley leaves and a sprinkling of chopped chives.

Steps:

• Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, thyme and salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the steak and onions.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling. Heat the grill pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the steaks with canola oil and season well with salt and pepper. Arrange the steaks on the grill pan and let cook until golden brown and charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks, lower the heat to medium and continue cooking to medium-rare doneness (130 degrees F internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer), about 4 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and arrange on a serving platter. Loosely tent with foil and let rest while you grill the onions.
• Brush the onions on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Separate the slices into rings and add to a small bowl. Add half of the vinaigrette to the onions and gently toss to coat. Serve the steaks topped with the onions and drizzled with the remaining vinaigrette.
