CHIVE RISOTTO CAKES ( INA GARTEN BAREFOOT CONTESSA )



Chive Risotto Cakes ( Ina Garten Barefoot Contessa ) image

Recipe from Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten's book "Back to Basics" Oct. 2008. A great recipe that makes you not have to wait to make risotto to have leftovers to have Risotto cakes. These are made from scratch. Panko is a key ingredient so don't just use regular bread crumbs. As Ina notes, "Panko, or Japanese bread flakes, have a crisper, lighter texture than regular bread crumbs." These can be assembled ahead and then fried right at meal time. She says"the yogurt, chives, and Italian Fontina give these a delicious creamy interior, and the panko gives them a wonderful crunchy crust." Enjoy! ChefDLH

FISH AND LOBSTER CAKES



Fish and Lobster Cakes image

"When I ran Barefoot Contessa, my specialty-food store in East Hampton, NY, we sold thousands and thousands of crab cakes every summer. They were not only delicious, but they were also perfect for entertaining because you could simply reheat them before dinner and serve them with our creamy, vinegary remoulade. I still make them at home: I cook them early in the day so I can be out of the kitchen by the time my guests arrive. Recently, I revisited my old recipe and decided to update it with lobster, flaky codfish, lemon zest and crunchy panko crumbs. I was glad I did! The fish cakes turned out to be a wonderful twist on traditional crab cakes. To make them ahead, I prepare the Fish and Lobster Cakes, place them on a sheet pan, wrap them well and refrigerate for a few hours. Before we eat, I just put them in a 350 degrees F oven for 15 minutes. Everyone thinks I whipped up dinner right before they arrived!" says Ina.

Time 55m

Yield 14 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1 1/2 cups (1/4- to 1/2-inch-diced) yellow onion
1 cup (1/4- to 1/2-inch-diced) celery
1 large Holland red bell pepper, cored, seeded and
1/4- to 1/2-inch-diced
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless cod fillets, cut into 4 pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups panko (Japanese bread flakes), divided
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann?s
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 pound cooked lobster meat, 1/2-inch-diced
Good olive oil
1 1/2 cups good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
6 tablespoons minced cornichons
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons Champagne or white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and bell pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Place the fish on top of the vegetables and add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer for 6 to 12 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cod), until the fish is just cooked. Set aside in the pan for 10 minutes, then flake the fish into large pieces with a fork.
  • Put 2 cups of the panko in a large bowl. Add the cod mixture, including the cooking liquid, the dill, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest, eggs, lobster, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper and mix gently.
  • Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop as a measure, shape the mixture into 14 (3-inch) fish cakes. Place the remaining 2 cups of panko on a plate and coat the cakes all over, patting the coating to adhere. Wipe the saute pan clean with a paper towel and heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan over medium heat. Place 5 cakes in the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned on both sides. Transfer the cakes to a sheet pan and keep them warm in the oven for up to 15 minutes. Repeat, adding more butter and oil, until the entire mixture is cooked. Serve hot with the remoulade sauce.
  • Remoulade Sauce: Place the mayonnaise, cornichons, mustard, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a few times until the cornichons are finely chopped (not pureed). Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

CHIVE RISOTTO CAKES

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
1 cup uncooked Arborio rice
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 1/2 cups grated Italian fontina cheese (5 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup panko (Japanese dried bread flakes)
Good olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large (4-quart) pot of water to a boil over medium-low heat and add 1/2 tablespoon salt and the Arborio rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. The grains of rice will be quite soft. Drain the rice in a sieve and run under cold water until cool. Drain well.

Pat the balls into patties 3 inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick. Place 4 to 6 patties in the panko, turning once to coat. Place the patties in the hot oil and cook, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side until the risotto cakes are crisp and nicely browned. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and keep warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Continue cooking in batches, adding oil as necessary, until all the cakes are fried. Arrange on a serving platter and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the risotto cakes will be. Use fresh chives, arborio rice, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente. The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Let the risotto cool completely before forming the cakes. This will help the cakes hold their shape when they are fried.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to fry the risotto cakes. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the risotto cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce. They are also delicious served cold as an appetizer.

Conclusion:

Chive risotto cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality dish that will impress your friends and family.
