Mardi Gras Mambo Fried Green Tomatoes with Duck Confit and Duck Bacon Remoulade

Yum
My entry for Maple Leaf Farm's duck contest is up for public voting today to hopefully win the People's Choice award- $350!!
Here's the link to vote if you'd like to help me out. It's a quick and easy vote once a day until Monday the 18th at noon:
This is the first year I tried my hand at this contest and I'm kicking myself that I never entered it before. I was intimidated at first, since although I love duck and will order it at a restaurant, I've never made it at home. Now I am in love with the confit (so easy to use and already fully cooked) and especially the duck bacon (I'd never heard of it before and now I'm in love)! The duck bacon may become a regular freezer staple from now on. The contest called for dishes that highlighted duck for a holiday and naturally, I chose to celebrate Mardi Gras. Fried Green Tomatoes are one of my favorite appetizers and the tangy juicy tomatoes are then topped with the shredded duck confit and a creamy spicy duck bacon remoulade sauce. It's set atop mixed greens, sprinked with chives and even more of the crispy salty crunch crumbled duck bacon. You could serve one as a hearty starter, or give each guest two for a main course.

Mardi Gras Mambo Fried Green Tomatoes with Duck Confit and Duck Bacon Remoulade
 
2 packages Maple Leaf Farms Duck Leg Confit (16 oz each)
5 slices Maple Leaf Farms Duck bacon, chopped finely
4 medium green (unripe) tomatoes, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
3 teaspoons salt, divided
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups buttermilk
6 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1/3 cup mayo
1/3 cup creole or whole grain mustard
1/3 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons minced shallot
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
3 cups mixed salad greens
2 Tablespoons chopped chives
 
Prepare the duck confit per package instructions using the oven method. Once the confit is warmed through, shred the meat and discard the bones and skin. 

In a cast iron skillet, over medium high heat, cook the bacon until browned and crisp (about 10 minutes). Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, and allow to drain on a paper towel lined plate.

Line a large cookie sheet with paper towels. Sprinkle the tomato slices evenly with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, lay them on the paper towels and let them stand for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, dry thoroughly with paper towels.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, bread crumbs, flour, pepper, and the remaining salt. Pour the buttermilk in a shallow dish.

In a large Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer, over medium heat, bring the oil up to 350° degrees.

Working in batches dredge the tomato slices, first in buttermilk, then the cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess. Carefully place tomato slices in hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon, and allow to drain on a wire rack.

Place half (about ¼ cup) of the crisped duck bacon into a small mixing bowl. Add the mayo, mustard, ketchup, shallot, lemon juice and parsley to the bacon and whisk to combine.

To serve lay the greens on the bottom of a large platter. Lay the fried green tomatoes on the greens, top evenly with shredded duck confit and drizzle with duck bacon remoulade. Sprinkle with remaining duck bacon and serve immediately.

Serves 6-8

Watermelon Ginger Glazed Shrimp over Som Tum Watermelon Salad

Yum
I really had a great time coming up with recipes for a watermelon contest recently! I had never considered cooking with watermelon rind and was so surprised once I tried it out how delicious it could be! I've seen pickled watermelon rind before, but had never tasted it since it just sounded strange. Once I started looking at it, when the green peel was cut off the white rind reminded me of one of my favorite Thai dishes- Som Tum. Som Tum is a Thai slaw that uses julienned unripe green papaya, so I decided to swap that out with the watermelon rind. 
Let's make Mai Tai's and share a bowl of this yummy Thai salad!
Watermelon Ginger Glazed Shrimp over Som Tum Watermelon Salad
20 fresh green beans
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 Tablespoon minced ginger
1 cup watermelon puree
½ cup jalapeno pepper jelly
1 ½ pounds peeled and deveined shrimp
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 ½ Tablespoons fish sauce
1 ½ Tablespoons brown sugar
4 cups julienned watermelon rind (white part only)
10 halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup cilantro leaves
2 thinly sliced green onions
1 thinly sliced fresno chile pepper

Fill a small mixing bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring 5 cups of water up to a boil in a medium sauce pot over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3 minutes. After three minutes, drain the green beans and add them to the ice water to cool.
Return the same sauce pot to the stove, and add the oil, garlic and ginger. Cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Add the watermelon puree and jalapeno jelly, and allow to simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Season shrimp with salt. Heat a large grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink. Once they are cooked, add the shrimp and soy sauce to the warm glaze and stir to evenly coat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce and brown sugar. Gently toss the julienned rind, tomatoes, cilantro, green onion and chiles to the dressing.


Divide the slaw into 4 serving bowls.  Top evenly with shrimp and serve immediately.

Watermelon Quinoa Tabouli

Yum
This Watermelon Quinoa Tabouli salad is a recipe I created for a contest a few weeks ago.
While it didn't win, it was just too good not to share! The watermelon is so juicy and bright with the fresh mint it may be my favorite summer salad. And bonus points for being healthy- you don't need to feel any guilt if you polish off the bowl without sharing!
Watermelon Quinoa Tabouli
¼ cup olive oil
6 Tablespoons lemon juice
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ cup finely minced shallot
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 cup finely minced flat leaf parsley
1 cup diced English cucumber
4 cups chopped seedless watermelon
1 cup cooked quinoa

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and shallot. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir gently to combine. Serve immediately, or place in the fridge to chill before serving. Serves 4.

Cracked Pepper Saucy Burgers with Napa Apple Slaw and Sesame Onion Rings
Burger Patties:
1 pound ground sirloin
1 pound ground chuck
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Creamy Pacific Mustard:
2 teaspoons Asian chili garlic sauce
1/3 cup mayonnaise

Napa Apple Slaw:
1 Tablespoon orange juice
2 ½ cups thinly sliced napa cabbage
2 cups julienned granny smith apple
½ cup thinly sliced green onion
1/3 cup chopped cilantro

Sesame Onion Rings:
6 cups canola oil
2 cups sesame snack sticks
½ cup flour
1 egg
1 large sweet onion, cut into ½ inch thick rings (you will need at least 18 rings)


2 Tablespoons canola oil
6 Brioche or Hawaiian style hamburger buns
Heat a gas grill to medium-high heat.

To make the burger patties, add the sirloin, chuck, salt, pepper, Cracked Pepper Marinade and Creamy Garlic Mustard to a large mixing bowl. Mix until well blended, handling as little as possible to avoid overworking. Shape into 6 patties to fit the bun size. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

To make the Creamy Pacific Mustard, whisk together the Creamy Garlic Mustard, Pacific Rim Ginger Dressing, Asian chili garlic sauce and mayonnaise in a small mixing bowl until smooth. Set in the fridge to chill.

To make the Napa Apple Slaw, whisk the Poppy Seed Dressing, Miso Orange Dressing and orange juice together in a medium mixing bowl until smooth. Add the napa cabbage, apple, green onion and cilantro and toss gently to evenly coat. Set in the fridge to chill.

To make the Sesame Onion Rings, begin by heating the canola oil to 350 degrees in a large, high-sided frying pan fitted with a candy thermometer over medium-high heat. Put the sesame snack sticks and half of the flour in the bowl of a small food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Pour the mixture into a shallow pie plate. Place the remaining flour in a separate shallow pie plate. In a third pie plate, whisk together the Pacific Rim Ginger Dressing and the egg. Dredge the onion rings first in the flour, then the egg mixture and finally in the sesame flour until all the onion rings are generously coated. Working in batches, gently lower the coated onion rings into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until browned and crisp. Remove from the hot oil and allow to drain on a wire rack set in a large sheet pan. 

Brush the grill rack with oil. Place the burger patties on the rack, cover and cook, turning only once, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, place the buns cut side down on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly, watching very closely to avoid burning.

To assemble the burgers, spread each toasted cut side of the buns with Creamy Pacific Mustard. Top each bun bottom with an even amount of the Napa Apple Slaw. Place a burger patty on top of that, and then top with 3 or more sesame onion rings. Add the bun tops and serve immediately.

Makes 6 burgers
Giveaway will close at midnight on Wednesday, June 21st. You have 2 days to reply and claim your prize. After that, a new winner will be picked.
Congratulations to our winner, Alida!

Sweet Potato Noodle Carbonara with Poached Eggs

Yum
I have an embarrassing amount of  small appliances and kitchen gadgets, so I really had no right buying a spiralizer and adding it to the already cluttered mess that is stored on a metal bakers rack in my laundry room, but I caved. And I'm so glad I did, because I really have used it more than I even thought I would! I love pasta and noodle dishes and my spiralizer allows me to enjoy those dishes guilt free. Sweet potatoes, zucchini, yellow squash and cucumbers have been my recent favorites. If you have a favorite spiralized dish, I'd love to hear about it!
Sweet Potato Noodle Carbonara with Poached Eggs 
1 Tablespoon salt
2 large sweet potatoes, spiralized
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
6 eggs
1 Tablespoon butter
4 slices bacon, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons chopped chives

Bring a large pot of water up to a boil over high heat. Place the salt and sweet potato noodles in the water for 2 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup of the boiling water to use later.
Fill a large sauce pan ¾ full of water. Bring it up to a very low simmer over medium low heat and then add the vinegar. Crack four of the eggs into individual ramekins. Carefully lower each one into the water and allow it to cook for 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on a clean kitchen towel. 
In a large skillet melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain. 
Remove all but 1 Tablespoon of bacon drippings from the pan and return it to the stove over low heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and sauté for 3-5 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the sweet potato noodles and toss gently to finish cooking the noodles, about 2 minutes. 
Whisk together the remaining 2 eggs, parmesan cheese, salt pepper and reserved boiling water in a small mixing bowl. Remove the noodles from the fire and stir the sauce into the noodles, allowing the residual heat to cook the sauce without scrambling the egg mixture. 
Divide the noodles between 4 shallow bowls. Top each with a poached egg and chives and serve immediately.

Jalapeño Cod Hush Puppies with Cilantro Chimichurri

Yum
My second entry for the Saltfish Recipe Blogger Challenge puts a Southwest spin on a Southern favorite! Once it was flaked, the salt cod reminded me a little of crabmeat which I knew would be delicious in a sweet corn batter. These hush puppies get a kick from jalapeno and a bright cilantro chimichurri sauce to make them irresistible!

Jalapeño Cod Hush Puppies with Cilantro Chimichurri
Hush Puppies:

8 ounces Cristobal salt cod fish filets
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 large egg
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
½ cup sliced green onion

Cilantro Chimichurri:1 1/2 cups packed cilantro leaves
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley
1 small clove garlic
2 Tablespoons lime juice
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin

6 cups canola oil for frying

Place the salt cod filets in a bowl and cover with cold water. Refrigerate for 8 hours, draining the water and replacing it with fresh water every 2 hours. After 8 hours, rinse the cod in cold water, pat dry and cut into 3-inch sections.

Place the cod into a large sauce pot and cover with cold water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the cod flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate small bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg. Make a well in the dry ingredients and begin to gently stir in the buttermilk mixture. Do not over mix. Gently fold in the cod, jalapeno and green onion until just mixed.

Place the cilantro, parsley, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and cumin in a small food processor and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a small dip bowl for serving.

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or electric fryer to 350 degrees over medium-high heat. Working in batches, using a small cookie scoop, carefully spoon about 1 Tablespoon of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined cookie sheet.

Serve immediately with the chimichurri sauce.

Makes 32 hush puppies

Cajun Cod Fish Cake Sliders with Mardi-Gras Slaw

Yum
I am so excited to share my entry for the Blogger Saltfish Recipe Challenge! I'm always excited to try new ingredients and saltfish is something I've never worked with before. When I was younger, I remember my grandpa making Cod Fish Cakes during Lent on Fridays. He always used canned cod (similar to canned tuna), mixed it with mashed potatoes and fried them to a crispy golden brown. I loved them as a kid and probably haven't had one in over 20 years. I knew I wanted to try that same method with the salt cod and modernize it and what I settled on I think you'll really love! Cajun blackening spices jazz up these crispy Cajun Cod Cakes and I made a quick and easy remoulade sauce to go with it. The purple, green and gold Mardi Gras Slaw is colorful and crunchy and, let's be honest here, who doesn't love sweet Hawaiian style rolls? It's a delicious pairing that I hope you enjoy!
Cajun Cod Fish Cake Sliders with Mardi-Gras Slaw
Cod Fish Cakes:
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 Tablespoon Cajun blackening seasoning
¼ cup minced shallot
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Mardi-Gras Slaw:
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow bell pepper
1/4 cup sliced green onion
2 Tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
2 Tablespoons olive oil 
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar 
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper 

Remoulade Sauce:
2 tsp Louisiana style hot sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise 
1/4 cup Creole style whole grain mustard
1/2 cup ketchup 
1 Tablespoon lemon juice

15 Sweet Hawaiian style slider rolls, lightly toasted 


Place the salt cod filets in a bowl and cover with cold water. Refrigerate for 8 hours, draining the water and replacing it with fresh water every 2 hours. After 8 hours, rinse the cod in cold water, pat dry and cut into 3-inch sections.
Place the cod and potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the cod flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cod and potato mixture, Cajun blackening seasoning and minced shallot and roughly mash with a potato masher. Stir in the eggs until the mixture is evenly combined. Using a cookie scoop, make 15 equal portions, and gently press them in the panko, flattening slightly, creating mini patties. Place the cakes in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss together the red cabbage, yellow bell pepper, green onion, parsley, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together the hot sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup and lemon juice. Chill until ready to use.

Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the cod cakes in batches until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

To assemble the sliders, spread a thin layer of the sauce on each side of the toasted slider rolls, place a small scoop of slaw on the bottom half of each roll, top with a cod fish cake and the top half of the buns. Serve immediately.

Greek Salad Style Potato Skins

Yum


I took a delicious classic appetizer, the potato skin, and put a healthy new spin on them! 

Typically loaded with sour cream, bacon and tons of cheddar cheese, potato skins are delicious but loaded with calories and fat. These beauties are baked until crispy, filled with fresh veggies and topped with feta cheese and tzatziki sauce. Now, tzatziki sauce can easily be found in the grocery store, but I always make my own. I never measure, it's just super simple to throw together. Mix together some Greek yogurt, a small pinch of garlic salt and a splash of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. Then use a grater and grate some red onion and cucumber over the bowl. Mix it well, and set it in the fridge. That's it!

Greek Salad Style Potato Skins
4 small to medium russet potatoes 
2 Tablespoons olive oil 
2 Tablespoons Greek seasoning
1 Tablespoon minced red onion
2 Tablespoons chopped cucumber
2 Tablespoons chopped tomato
2 Tablespoons chopped olives
½ cup tzatziki sauce (store bought or homemade)

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Scrub potatoes, pat dry and pierce with a fork several times. Rub each potato with 1/2 tbsp. olive oil and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake your potatoes for about an hour or until they are fork tender. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the potatoes to cool enough to handle.

Turn the oven temperature up to 450°F. 

Cut each potato in half lengthwise with a serrated knife and scoop out the middle, leaving a 1/4-inch thick layer of potato along the sides and bottoms of the skins. 

Spray the hollowed potato skins inside and outside with olive oil spray and sprinkle generously with Greek seasoning. Return the potatoes to the oven for 10 minutes. 

Remove from oven, sprinkle skins with minced red onion, chopped cucumber, chopped tomato, chopped olives and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and serve immediately. 

Makes 8 potato skins.
These are great as an appetizer, or pair them with a green salad for a main course.
