3-2-1-1 VINAIGRETTE



3-2-1-1 Vinaigrette image

This is my classic go-to dressing and makes just enough for a nice salad. I love it most with red wine or balsamic vinegar. You can also easily double or triple this recipe if you need a larger amount. Heartier greens like romaine and iceberg need more dressing. More delicate greens like arugula need less.

CAPTAIN CRUNCH AND CORNMEAL SHRIMP



Captain Crunch and Cornmeal Shrimp image

Tried to make coconut shrimp only to find out I had no coconut. This quickly thrown together hodgepodge of three recipes turned out to be a winner. Super sweet by itself, but even better with the marmalade dipping sauce. My 2- and 6-year-old were big fans, too!

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅔ cup beer
½ cup masa flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ cups sweetened corn-based cereal (such as Cap'N Crunch®), crushed
½ cup cornmeal
24 shrimp
3 cups oil for frying
½ cup marmalade
2 tablespoons deli-style Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
  • Whisk beer, masa flour, egg, sugar, and baking powder together in a bowl until beer batter is smooth. Place crushed cereal in a shallow bowl and cornmeal in a third shallow bowl.
  • Dredge shrimp through cornmeal, holding shrimp by the tail; shake off excess cornmeal. Dip shrimp in beer batter, allowing excess to drip back into batter. Roll shrimp in the crushed cereal until evenly coated. Arrange coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Working in batches, fry shrimp in the hot oil, turning once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer cooked shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate using tongs.
  • Stir marmalade and mustard together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. Serve cooked shrimp alongside dipping sauce.

CORNMEAL-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE AND PEARS



Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken with Horseradish Sauce and Pears image

Horseradish is an unsung hero in playfully fusing sweet flavors into savory dishes. This recipe starts with leeks and pears that are roasted in hot sauce, honey and vinegar. Next, chicken cutlets are breaded in cornmeal and Parmesan (bonus: it's gluten free) and the dish is finished with a creamy horseradish sauce. The result is a meal that's both comforting and unexpected. It's a great change of pace if chicken cutlets are a dinner staple in your household.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 medium leeks, chopped, rinsed and patted dry (about 3 to 4 cups)
2 pears, cored and each cut into 16 wedges
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons vinegar-based hot sauce, such as Crystal or Frank's
2 tablespoons vinegar (apple cider or sherry)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 8 ounces each
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup grated Parmesan
Oil for frying (canola, grapeseed or safflower)
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Top a baking sheet with a wire rack or line it with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, combine the leeks, pears, olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine and place on a baking sheet. Roast, tossing the leeks and pears about every 10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pat the chicken breasts dry. Using a sharp knife, split each chicken breast in two horizontally, so you have 4 cutlets. Gently pound each breast with a mallet or bottom of a small heavy saucepan so it's thinner and even in thickness. Sprinkle the cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
  • Whisk the eggs, 1 tablespoon of the prepared horseradish and 2 tablespoons water together in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Combine the cornmeal and Parmesan in a second shallow bowl or pie plate. Dip a chicken cutlet in the cornmeal mixture, then in the eggs, and then back into the cornmeal. Place on a plate or small baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  • Pour about 1 inch of the frying oil into a large skillet with high sides and place over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, working in two batches, fry the chicken until golden on the outside and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside on the prepared baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with kosher salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, remaining 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, remaining 1 tablespoon honey, remaining 1 tablespoon hot sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Whisk in half of the chopped chives. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon sauce onto the bottom of each serving plate. Top each with a chicken cutlet and roasted leeks and pears and sprinkle with chives. Enjoy!
