PAN ROASTED BLACK GROUPER WITH WILD AMERICAN SHRIMP, BLACK-EYED PEA CAKES, APPLEWOOD SMOKED BACON AND FRISEE SALAD AND SMOKED TOMATO COULIS



Pan Roasted Black Grouper with Wild American Shrimp, Black-Eyed Pea Cakes, Applewood Smoked Bacon and Frisee Salad and Smoked Tomato Coulis image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 35

6 (6-ounce) black grouper fillets
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 (U-8), head-on shrimp
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 cups, cooked black-eyed peas
1/2 cup finely sliced green onion
1/3 cup small diced red peppers
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (recommended: Crescent City Grill)
1 egg
1/4 cup shredded Romano
1 cup finely ground bread crumbs
2 to 3 tablespoons clarified butter
1/2 cup seasoned flour
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup shallot, finely minced
1 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Creole mustard
1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups frisee
3 tablespoons cooked and diced applewood smoked bacon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup shallots, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 ripe tomatoes, smoked, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Pan Roasted Black Grouper: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Season the fillets with the salt and pepper. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over a high flame, not quite to smoking point. Add in the butter, then quickly, just as the butter begins to brown, place the fillets in the hot oil. Allow the fish to brown well before turning it over, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the fillets and brown the other side. Once the fish is browned, place the fillets on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Finish baking the fish in the oven, about 3 to 4 more minutes.
  • Wild American Shrimp: Using a very sharp knife, split the shrimp lengthwise, taking special care to keep the head attached. Rub the meaty part of the shrimp with half of the olive oil, then sprinkle the flesh with the seafood seasoning. Heat the remaining oil in a large nonstick saute pan until just about smoking. Add in the butter, then carefully place the shrimp, meat side down in the pan. Allow the shrimp to brown then gently turn them to their shell side. Lower the heat slightly and continue cooking for 3 to 5 more minutes, until shrimp is completely cooked.
  • Black-Eyed Pea Cakes: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • With your hands or a potato masher, smash the black-eyed peas, leaving a few peas whole. Add green onion, red pepper, spices, and egg. Mix thoroughly. Add cheese and bread crumbs and mix well. Divide the mix into 6 (2 1/2-inch) balls. Flatten balls to 3-inches in diameter and about 1/2-inch thick. This may be done a day ahead of time, covered and stored in the refrigerator. Heat butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Lightly dust both sides of the cakes with seasoned flour and place them in the skillet to brown. Leave enough room between cakes to be able to flip them over. When cakes are brown on both sides, place them on a baking sheet and put them in the oven for 7 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Frisee Salad: Wait until just before assembling the plates to mix the salad.
  • Over a low heat, warm the olive oil and the shallot slightly. Remove from the heat and mix together all ingredients except for the frisee and the bacon. Gently toss the Frisee with the dressing mix and divide among the 6 plates. Sprinkle the salad with the bacon.
  • Smoked Tomato Coulis: In a small stainless steel sauce pot, heat the olive oil over a low heat. Place the shallots, garlic, salt and cayenne pepper in the hot oil and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent browning. Add in the peeled and seeded smoked tomatoes and cook over a low heat for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. Place the cooled mixture into the blender and puree until smooth. Stir in vinegar and hold warm until ready to serve.
  • To assemble the entire dish before serving: Place the black-eyed pea cakes in the center of each plate. Arrange the frisee salad just behind the pea cake. Take 2 halves of the cooked shrimp and place them so that the head portions meet at the top of the frisee salad. Place the cooked grouper atop the pea cake and place a small pool of the smoked tomato coulis near the front of the dish.

BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD



Black-Eyed Pea Salad image

This salad is inspired by a Greek recipe that calls for lots of herb fennel. I couldn't find herb fennel, so I added a thinly sliced fennel bulb to the mix. Along with its refreshing flavor, the fennel bulb contributes a delightful contrasting crunchy texture. It's a great salad with or without the tomatoes.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup black-eyed peas, rinsed and picked over
3 large garlic cloves, 2 of them crushed and left in the skin, 1 of them minced
1/2 onion, intact
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
2 medium tomatoes, in season only, diced
1 medium fennel bulb (about 1/2 pound), trimmed, quartered, cored and sliced very thin across the grain
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup chopped chives
2 ounces feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Place the black-eyed peas, whole crushed garlic cloves, halved onion and bay leaf in a large, heavy saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer until tender but intact, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, remove the lid and allow the black-eyed peas to cool for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the onion. Remove the garlic cloves, squeeze the cooked garlic out of the skins and back into the black-eyed peas, and drain through a strainer set over a bowl.
  • Transfer the black-eyed peas to a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss with the beans. Add the remaining ingredients except the feta and toss together. If you want a bit more liquid with the beans, add back some of the broth (I found the dressing to be sufficient). Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the feta over the top and serve.

BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD



Black-Eyed Pea Salad image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil, approximately, as needed to brush on peppers
1 red bell pepper, halved, stemmed and seeds removed
1 yellow bell pepper, halved, stemmed and seeds removed
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 large clove garlic, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade and quartered
1 cup olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
2 (16-ounce) cans black eyed peas, drained
2 tablespoons sliced scallions, white and tender green parts only (from about 6 scallions)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, from about 1-ounce parsley, stems removed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Brush olive oil on the peppers, and place them cut side down on a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil (with the edges turned up to avoid drips.) Roast until charred, them remove them to a resealable plastic bag or tightly covered pan to sweat and cool down.
  • Make the vinaigrette just before use. Through the feed opening of a running blender, add vinegar and garlic. With the blender still running, pour olive oil in a slow thin stream. (Alternatively, you can prepare the vinaigrette by whisking the ingredients into a bowl in the same order, in which case, the garlic should be minced first.)
  • Return to the bell peppers and peel off the blackened skin. Slice the flesh of the peppers brunoise (julienne, then crosswise) and place in a mixing bowl. Fold in the drained black-eyed peas, scallions, and parsley. Stir in enough of the vinaigrette to coat. Serve family style.
