GRILLED SHRIMP WITH BLACK BEAN CAKES AND CORIANDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Black Bean Cakes
• Place the black beans in cold water to cover. Soak overnight, or for at least 1 hour. Drain, rinse, place in a large pot, and cover with fresh cold water. Bring to a boil, skim the foam, then simmer over low heat for about 1 hour. Add more water, if necessary, to keep the beans covered.
• Meanwhile, heat the 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion, peppers, and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the vegetables, along with the honey, vinegar, chili powder, and cumin, to the beans and continue to simmer. When the beans are quite soft and are starting to break down, season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the beans are creamy.
• Remove the bean mixture from the heat and strain, reserving the liquid. Puree in a food processor, then transfer to a baking sheet. Spread the puree evenly and let it cool completely. Form the puree into little cakes shaped like hockey pucks (use about 1/2 cup per cake). The consistency is perfect if it is moist enough to gather into a ball, but not so wet that the mixture sticks to your hands.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F. To finish the cakes, lightly dust them with flour. Heat a medium skillet (lightly coated with oil) over medium-high heat. Sauté the cakes just long enough to get a nice crust on each side. When ready to serve, place them on baking sheets in the oven to warm through. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of cilantro.
• Grilled Shrimp
• Soak the skewers in hot water.
• In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil and seasonings. Toss the shrimp with this marinade and refrigerate while you make the coriander sauce.
• Turn on the broiler or light the grill.
• Place 4 shrimp on each skewer.
• Meanwhile, heat the black bean cakes.
• Broil or grill the shrimp 2-3 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. Remove from the skewers, arrange on four plates, and drizzle with the warm coriander sauce. Serve with a black bean cake.
• Coriander Sauce
• Place the shallot, orange zest and juice, wine, vinegar, and coriander in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the liquid is reduced to 2 or 3 tablespoons. While it's still hot, whisk in softened butter by the spoonful until the sauce is emulsified (it will look thick and creamy). Stir in the chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm over low heat.

SPICY SALMON & CORIANDER FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and sweet potato and place in a large microwaveable bowl. Add the lemon juice and 1/4 of the chopped coriander, cover with cling film and microwave on full for 10 minutes / until cooked. (Add a little extra water if required).
• Whilst the potatoes are cooking, gently fry the onion, garlic, chilli, grated lemon zest & coriander in half the oil until the onions are translucent.
• Break up the bread and place in a food processor and blitz into breadcrumbs, adding the Paprika.
• Mash the potatoes adding the remaining olive oil and all of the butter.
• Stir the fried ingredients, remaining coriander, crumbled feta and egg into the mash. (Add salt and pepper to taste).
• Form cakes of your preferred size (If the mixture is too wet to easily form into cakes, add some of the breadcrumbs to improve consistency) and cover with breadcrumbs.
• Either fry gently for 5 minutes each side or place on a baking tray and bake on 180Cm, turning once, for 10-15 minutes (or until lightly browned).

CORIANDER CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• Cream butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, mixing well. Set aside.
• Sift flour, baking soda and coriander together. Add alternate batches of flour mixture and the milk to the butter/eggs/sugar mixture. Mix well. Knead on floured board until smooth.
• Roll out dough and cut into 2 inch circles. Bake for 15 minutes or until light brown. Cool on racks.

SPICY THAI CRAB CAKES WITH LEMON AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, rice, jalapenos, lemon zest, basil and mint. Carefully stir in the salt, pepper, eggs and bread crumbs, breaking up the crab meat as little as possible. Using 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time, press into cakes that are a scant 2 inches in diameter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the crab cakes until nicely browned and firm, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Add more oil to the skillet as needed between batches. Serve hot.

PANFRIED BLACK BEAN CORIANDER CAKES

Steps:

• In a small heavy skillet cook onion, bell pepper, and garlic in butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened. In a bowl mash one-third beans with a fork and stir in remaining beans, onion mixture, bread crumbs, egg, coriander, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Form mixture into four 4-inch patties. (Mixture will be wet and soft.) Gently dredge patties in cornmeal and transfer to a large plate lined with plastic wrap.
• In a heavy skillet heat 1/4 inch oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook patties in 2 batches 1 1/2 minutes on each side, transferring to paper towels to drain.
• Serve bean cakes with salsa.

CORIANDER FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Put the cooked flaked fish into a bowl and add half of the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, beaten egg, coriander, cayenne and salt.
• Mix everything lightly together and roll into 12 small balls, flatten slightly and then leave to stand for at least 10 minutes.
• Mix the sesame seeds with the remaining breadcrumbs.
• Brush the fish cakes lightly with milk and dip into the breadcrumb mixture.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan with the olive oil and cook the fish cakes for about 2 minutes on each side until golden and warmed through.
• Serve on a bed of salad leaves with sweet chilli sauce on the side.

CORIANDER POTATO CAKES WITH MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water until they start to fall apart. Drain and put back in the warm pan to dry out for a few mins. Mash the potato, egg yolk, coriander and spring onions together. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper, and mix in the lemon zest, cheddar and chilli. Shape into 8 cakes.
• Put the egg white in a bowl and whisk until foamy. Put the breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip the cakes in the egg white, allow the excess to drain off, then coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere well. Put on a tray lined with baking parchment, cover and chill for 15 mins or until ready to use.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-based, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the cakes in batches for 2-3 mins each side, or until golden and heated through. Serve with the chutney and salad.

PRAWN CAKES WITH CORIANDER SAMBAL

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients for the fishcakes, except the oil, in a food processor with seasoning and blitz until really well blended. Shape into 12-18 round patties, then chill for up to 1 day until ready to serve.
• Wash the food processor, then blitz all the sambal ingredients together to make a bright green, wet paste. Season and chill.
• When ready to serve, fry the fishcakes in the oil for a few mins on each side until golden - they will be firm, like Thai fishcakes rather than those made with potato. Pile onto a platter with a bowl of the sambal to serve with drinks, or plate up and serve as a starter.

CRAB & CORN CAKES WITH CORIANDER DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the egg, flour, garlic, coriander stalks (only stalks) and one-third of the corn in a food processor and process to a rough paste. Add remaining corn, crab and spring onion, then pulse briefly to just combine. Season well.
• For the dipping sauce, place sugar in a pan with rice wine vinegar and 1/4 cup of water, then stir over low heat until sugar dissolves and cool mixture slightly, then add fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce, fresh chilli and chopped coriander leaves. Set aside sauce for dipping.
• Half-fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan with oil and heat to 190C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 30 seconds when oil is hot enough).
• Working in batches, carefully drop heaped tablespoons of batter into the oil for each fritter. Fry fritters for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp, turning whilst cooking. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
• Serve cakes immediately with dipping sauce.
