Warm Goat Cheese With Wasabi Pea Crust Peas And Greens Recipes

Steps:

• Place 1 1/2 cups wasabi peas in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until a coarse powder forms; transfer to a large plate.
• Slice the goat cheese log into 6 1-inch-thick disks. Pour 1/2 cup olive oil on a small plate. Place the disks, one at a time, in the oil, turning to completely coat. Dredge in the wasabi powder, turning to coat all sides, and shake off excess. Transfer to a baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Prepare an ice-water bath, and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the wasabi paste and vinegar. Whisk in the mayonnaise, sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup oil until mixture is smooth. Season with salt; set aside.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, and generously add salt. Add the sugar snap and snow peas; blanch until they are tender and bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander; transfer the peas to the ice-water bath to stop cooking and preserve their color. Drain; pat dry with paper towels.
• Remove the coated goat cheese disks from the refrigerator. Bake until soft and hot in the center, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Combine the blanched peas, pea shoots, and remaining 1/2 cup wasabi peas in a large bowl. Season with salt, and drizzle with wasabi paste dressing. Toss well to lightly coat, and divide among 6 salad plates. Place 1 goat cheese disk on each plate, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Slice the goat cheese into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. Dip each slice into the egg wash and then into the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a baking rack set on a sheet pan and chill for at least 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil and butter in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the goat cheese slices and cook on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside.
