SHRIMP CAKES WITH SCALLION DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Puree the mayonnaise, parsley, scallion, garlic, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor; transfer to a bowl.
• Add half of the shrimp to the food processor and pulse until a thick paste forms. Add the remaining shrimp, 1/2 cup panko, 2 tablespoons of the prepared dressing, the egg and lemon zest. Pulse until combined but still chunky. With oiled hands, shape the mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties. Transfer to a baking sheet; freeze 5 minutes.
• Put the remaining 1/2 cup panko on a plate. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Coat the patties on both sides with the panko; cook until golden, 2 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the patties are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the greens, radishes, 2 tablespoons of the dressing and the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve the shrimp cakes with the salad and remaining dressing.

SCALLION CAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour and sugar. Stir in 2/3 cup boiling water, mixing flour and water just until flour absorbs all the water. Gradually stir in enough cold water (1/4 to 1/3 cup) so that a dough is formed and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should not be sticky.
• Remove dough from the bowl and knead on a lightly dusted board with floured hands 3 to 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour if necessary. Lightly cover with a dampened cloth and allow to rest for 1 hour.
• Redust the surface and hands with flour, and knead again for a few minutes or until smooth. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. As you work, always cover any unused dough with a lightly damp cloth. Using a floured rolling pin, roll each section into a 7-inch round. Lightly brush each round with sesame oil. Evenly sprinkle 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and scallions on each round, and then tightly roll each round into a fat rope. Tightly coil each rope, pinching the end of the rope into the dough to seal. Cover with a lightly damp cloth and allow to rest 15 to 20 minutes. Redust surface with flour, and using a floured rolling pin, roll each coiled bun into 7-inch rounds.
• In a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until oil is hot but not smoking. Carefully add one scallion round and fry 1 to 2 minutes, until golden. Carefully turn cake over and fry 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until golden brown. As the cake fries, lightly press the center with a metal spatula to make sure center is cooked. Transfer each cake to a plate lined with several thicknesses of paper towels. Continue frying the remaining scallion rounds one at a time. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set oil aside to cool before discarding. Cut cakes into 6 to 8 wedges and serve immediately.

FETA-SCALLION COUSCOUS CAKES WITH TOMATO-OLIVE SALAD RECIPE - (4.9/5)

Steps:

• For the cakes: Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir in the couscous; cover and remove from the heat. Let sit for 5 minutes, then uncover and fluff with a fork. Meanwhile, finely chop the white and light-green parts of the scallions. Stir into the couscous, along with the cheese, egg substitute and pepper (to taste), until well incorporated. The mixture should be moist and a bit loose. Grease a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking oil spray; place the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 2 teaspoons of oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Divide the couscous mixture into 4 equal portions; they won't hold together well, but they will firm up as they cook. Transfer to the skillet and use a spatula to flatten them to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Coat the tops of the cakes with nonstick cooking oil spray. Cook for 2 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottoms, then carefully turn over the cakes and cook for 2 minutes to brown lightly on the second sides. Turn off the heat. For the salad: Coarsely chop the tomatoes, leaving as much of the seeds behind as possible. Finely chop the olives and parsley; combining them is okay. Transfer those three ingredients to a medium bowl; add the vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of the oil and the pepper (to taste), stirring to incorporate. Rinse and spin-dry the greens, then place in a bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil and toss to coat evenly. Divide the greens between individual plates. Top each portion with 2 warm couscous cakes, then spoon the tomato-parsley mixture evenly over the cakes. Serve right away.

CRISPY POTATO CAKES WITH FARMER CHEESE, SCALLION, BLACK PEPPER AND KALE CHIPS

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly drizzle the kale with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay on a baking sheet in a single layer, and bake until just crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Reduce the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, mix the onions, potatoes, egg and 3 tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl until combined. If the mixture feels very wet, add a little more of the flour.
• Heat 1/2 inch canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat until it begins to sizzle. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the potatoes per pancake into the pan, spreading into a 2-inch round with a fork. Cook until the bottom is browned, about 5 minutes, and then flip and cook 5 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Keep the pancakes warm on a wire rack set in a shallow baking pan in the oven.
• Combine the cheese, parsley and green onions in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the pancakes on a serving platter or cutting board, top each with a dollop of the cheese, and garnish with the kale chips.
