FARRO SALAD WITH CORN AND CRISPY CHICKPEAS



Farro Salad With Corn and Crispy Chickpeas image

This nubby, gently spiced grain salad is filled with tender corn kernels, crunchy roasted chickpeas and plenty of thinly sliced fennel, scallions and herbs. Drying the chickpeas before roasting gives them the deepest crunch, so don't skip that step. All together, the salad walks the line between hearty and light, a substantial side to grilled meats or fish, or a summery main course all on its own.

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, vegetables, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed, or use 1 3/4 cups cooked chickpeas
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of ground allspice
Pinch of ground cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for boiling the farro
1 cup pearled or semi-pearled farro
1 bay leaf
5 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cups fresh corn kernels, from about 3 ears corn, or use frozen corn
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts
1/2 cup thinly sliced fennel
1/2 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, mint and/or basil
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Start the chickpeas: Spread drained chickpeas on a rimmed sheet pan lined with a clean dish towel or a double layer of paper towels. Let air-dry for at least 30 minutes while you cook the farro.
  • Prepare the farro: Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add farro and bay leaf. Cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well, discarding bay leaf. Put farro in a bowl and, while still warm, stir in 5 tablespoons of the olive oil, the vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the coriander. Let farro cool to room temperature.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. While the farro cools, roast the crispy chickpeas and the corn in the same oven.
  • For the chickpeas, remove towels from the baking sheet and toss chickpeas with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and spices until well coated. Roast, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy, about 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, lightly drizzle kernels with remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and toss to coat. Spread corn in a single even layer on a rimmed sheet pan. Roast, tossing halfway through roasting, until golden brown and fragrant, about 20 minutes.
  • Add corn to farro mixture, along with the scallions, fennel and herbs, tossing to combine. Taste, and add more salt and/or vinegar if needed. Just before serving, fold in crispy chickpeas so they remain crunchy. Top with another drizzle of olive oil and flaky sea salt.

CRISPY RICE WITH SHRIMP, BACON AND CORN



Crispy Rice With Shrimp, Bacon and Corn image

This one-pan recipe is a great use of leftover rice, though you can also use freshly cooked rice as long as it's no longer hot. The starch in sticky short-grain rice, together with the corn's starch, caramelize into a nice crust that you can remove in big pieces. Long-grain rice will brown as well, but stay loose when served. Try to get a little of everything in each bite: crisp yet tender rice and corn, savory shrimp, crunchy bacon, juicy tomatoes. This recipe was developed with 16/20-count shrimp in mind, but you can use whatever shrimp you find aside from fancy super-jumbo ones. Serve with hot sauce if you'd like.

Provided by Genevieve Ko

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, weeknight, grains and rice, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, patted very dry
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
4 strips bacon
3 ears corn
6 scallions
1 cup grape tomatoes, or 1 large chopped juicy tomato
4 cups cooked rice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large cast-iron skillet or other heavy skillet over high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to the hot oil in a single layer and sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Turn heat down to medium-low and add the bacon in a single layer. Cook, turning to evenly brown, until crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • While the bacon browns, shuck the corn and cut off the kernels. You should end up with about 3 1/2 cups. Thinly slice the scallions and set aside some greens for garnish. Cut the tomatoes in half. (If the bacon is done cooking before you're finished slicing, remove the pan from the heat for a moment.)
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels, leaving as much liquid as possible in the skillet. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the corn, scallions, and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the scallions just wilt, about 1 minute.
  • Add the rice and stir until well-mixed and heated through, about 3 minutes. Press the rice evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Let cook, without stirring, as the rice and corn begin to crackle, until you smell a toasty scent and the rice browns, about 5 minutes. You can lift up a section of rice to peek and see if a golden brown crust has developed.
  • Remove from the heat and divide the rice mixture among four bowls, scattering the tomatoes, shrimp and accumulated juices on top of each. (Alternatively, serve rice directly from the pan, with tomatoes and shrimp on top.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Crumble the bacon all over and garnish with the reserved scallions.

CREAMY CORN SOUP WITH CRISPY BACON



Creamy Corn Soup with Crispy Bacon image

Warm up with a soup so creamy no one will believe it's dairy-free. For extra creaminess use any Almond Breeze Almond-Cashew Blend instead of Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original.

Provided by Almond Breeze

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Almond Breeze

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original OR any Almond Breeze Almond-Cashew Blend
6 ears fresh corn
1 russet potato, peeled and chopped
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
6 slices bacon
Basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Shuck the corn. Break each ear in half. Standing each one vertically on a cutting board, use a serrated knife to cut off the kernels. Save the cobs.
  • In a pot, combine the corn, cobs, potato, almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some freshly ground pepper. Simmer until the potatoes are soft (there's a big range for exactly how long this will be - once the pot is boiling, figure somewhere around 10 minutes and taste 'em as you go.) Remove and discard the corn cobs. Transfer the soup to a blender and puree. Strain back into the pot. Taste for salt, adding more if needed.
  • While the soup is simmering, cook the bacon until crispy in a hot frying pan or a 400 degrees F oven. Cut each slice in half. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each with 3 half slices of bacon and basil leaves.

Provided by Rhoda Boone

Categories     Fish     Kid-Friendly     Dinner     Spring     Summer     Healthy     Tortillas     Seed     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Sheet-Pan Dinner     Sheet Pan     Small Plates

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
3-4 skinless mild fish fillets (such as red snapper, striped bass, or halibut; each 3/4" thick, about 1 pound total), pin bones removed
2 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise, divided
3 teaspoons chili powder, divided
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
4 ears of corn, husked
12 taco-size corn tortillas
Shredded green cabbage, sliced avocado, cilantro leaves with tender stems, pickled jalapeño slices, hot sauce, and lime wedges (for serving)
Special equipment:
An ovenproof wire rack that fits inside an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet; 2 (18x13") rimmed baking sheets

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 350°F. Pulse pumpkin seeds in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet and toss with panko. Toast until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and stir in 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper; wipe off sheet.
  • Meanwhile, cut each fillet in half lengthwise. Slice each piece on a diagonal into 3/4" strips. Whisk eggs, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Set wire rack into rimmed baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Dredge each piece of fish in mayonnaise mixture, then roll in pumpkin-panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Arrange in a single layer on prepared rack. Spread corn with remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper and arrange on second baking sheet. Place baking sheet with fish on upper rack of oven and corn on lower rack. Bake fish until opaque and flesh flakes apart when pierced with a paring knife, 18-22 minutes, and bake corn, turning once halfway through, until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, working one at a time, warm tortillas with tongs directly over a gas burner, turning them often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 1 minute per side. (If you don't have a gas stove, wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave in 20-second bursts until warm.) Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
  • Divide fish among tortillas and top with cabbage, avocado, cilantro, jalapeños, and hot sauce. Serve with corn and lime wedges alongside.

CRISPY FRIED OYSTERS WITH SWEET CORN CILANTRO SALSA



Crispy Fried Oysters with Sweet Corn Cilantro Salsa image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup corn niblets
1/2 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup cooked corn niblets
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 scallion, finely chopped
1/4 red pepper, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1/4 cup cornmeal
6 oysters, shucked
1/2 cup olive oil
6 oyster shells, cleaned

Steps:

  • For the corn puree: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the corn and chicken stock. Cook until the corn is cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly, and then place the corn in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook's Note: When blending hot liquids, remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
  • For the salsa: In a small mixing bowl, combine the corn, lemon juice, vinegar, cilantro, scallion and red peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the oysters: Set three shallow bowls next to one another. Place the flour in the first bowl, then place the buttermilk and egg in the next bowl and place the cornmeal in the last bowl. Use a fork to whisk the egg into the buttermilk. Dredge the oysters, one at a time, in the bowl with the flour, shaking to remove any excess. Then dip the oyster into the bowl with buttermilk. Once covered in the egg wash, place the oysters into the cornmeal.
  • Set a large saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the oysters to the pan and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn the oysters to the other side and cook another minute or until golden brown. Remove the oysters with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel.
  • Place 1 teaspoon of corn puree in an oyster shell. Place a fried oyster on top of the puree. Top each oyster with 1 teaspoon corn salsa. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons ground dried chipotle pepper
1 lime, juiced
1 large egg white
¼ cup ice water
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup self-rising flour
2 ears fresh sweet white corn, kernels removed from cob
1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1 ½ cups flaked fresh Dungeness crab meat
1 fresh lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, chipotle powder, and lime juice together in a mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed for serving.
  • Whisk egg white, ice water, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until mixture is light and foamy, 1 or 2 minutes. Add cornstarch and flour; whisk together until thoroughly mixed. Batter should resemble a thin pancake batter. Stir in corn.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a seasoned cast iron skillet. Spoon about 2 large spoonfuls of batter into oil for each fritter. Do not crowd, cook in batches, if necessary. Fry until browned and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Turn fritters carefully to avoid spattering the oil. Drain on paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Serve topped with fresh Dungeness crab and drizzle with the chipotle dressing. Serve with a wedge of lime.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Corn: Select fresh corn on the cob with bright green husks and plump kernels. Avoid corn with dried-out or damaged husks.
  • Proper Husking: Remove the husks carefully without damaging the kernels. Leave a small portion of the husk attached to the cob to serve as a handle.
  • Brushing Oil: Brush the corn with melted butter or oil to help it crisp up and prevent it from drying out during cooking.
  • Seasoning: Sprinkle the corn with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings before cooking. You can also add herbs, spices, or flavored oils for extra flavor.
  • High Heat: Cook the corn over high heat to achieve a crispy exterior. This will help caramelize the natural sugars in the corn and create a delicious flavor.
  • Flipping: Flip the corn regularly during cooking to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
  • Cooking Time: The cooking time may vary depending on the method used. Generally, corn takes about 5-10 minutes to cook on the grill or in a pan, and 10-15 minutes in the oven.
  • Checking for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the corn kernel. If it comes out clean, the corn is cooked.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve crispy corn hot, with additional seasonings like chili powder, lime wedges, or grated Parmesan cheese. It pairs well with grilled meats, tacos, salads, and as a side dish for various meals.

Conclusion:

Crispy corn is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in various settings. Whether you prefer grilling, roasting, or pan-frying, there's a method to suit your cooking preferences.
