Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt (I used coconut)
3 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
Flaky sea salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 large portobello mushrooms, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 cup all-purpose flour (you can also use gluten-free flour)
1 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup Cajun seasoning or similar seasoning
1/2 cup plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt (I used coconut)
1/2 cup cold fizzy water (sparkling water)
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the green dip: Blitz the yogurt, parsley, lemon juice, garlic and a pinch of salt together in a mini food processor or blender until the mixture is smooth and turns a vibrant green.
  • For the mushrooms: Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce over the sliced mushrooms in a large bowl, toss to evenly coat and set aside.
  • Mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch and Cajun seasoning together in a medium bowl. Mix together the yogurt and fizzy water in another bowl until smooth.
  • To triple coat the mushrooms, working in batches, first dip in the flour mixture, then coat in the yogurt mixture and then back to the flour mix once again, so they are evenly coated. Repeat until they are all coated.
  • Heat approximately 1 inch of vegetable oil in an extra-large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the mushrooms and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan using tongs and lay on a paper towel-lined sheet pan to drain any excess oil.
  • Arrange the mushrooms on a platter. Pour the dip into a bowl. Serve.

CREAMY COLLARD GREENS DIP WITH SHITO



Creamy Collard Greens Dip With Shito image

Cooking Dawn Burrell's creamed greens is an exercise in extracting as much flavor as possible, as economically as possible: With the trinity of garlic, onion and bell pepper, the dip's flavor profile is distinct, but the collard greens and shito, a chile sauce from Ghana, are still allowed to shine. This dip can be served as an appetizer, side dish or as the star of a series of smaller plates. And its texture is both inviting and distinct, creamy and wholly spiced. Ms. Burrell serves the dip with crunchy fritters made with rice and fonio, a tiny grain popular throughout West Africa. Pairing the dip with a baguette, a bowl of tortilla chips or slices of toasted bread would also make a solid meal.

Time 35m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup canola or olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 jalapeño, finely diced (seeded if desired)
Kosher salt and black pepper
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken stock
2 cups heavy cream
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons shito (see Tip)
4 cups chopped and drained braised, canned or thawed frozen collard greens (see Tip)
2 cups shredded white Cheddar (8 ounces)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Sliced baguette (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler with the rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source.
  • Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high. Add onion, bell pepper and jalapeño. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Deglaze the pan by adding chicken stock and stirring and scraping up browned bits. Add heavy cream and cream cheese and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese is melted. Add 1/2 cup shito and stir to combine, then stir in collards. Reduce heat to medium and simmer rapidly, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a thick, creamy consistency that coats the greens without being soupy, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 cups Cheddar and the lemon juice. Stir until cheese melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper. You can keep the dip in the skillet if the pan is ovenproof, or transfer the dip to a 2-quart baking dish and spread evenly. Combine panko with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar and sprinkle over the dip.
  • Broil until golden on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon remaining 2 tablespoons shito over dip. Serve hot or warm, with baguette, if you'd like.

Tips:

  • Use fresh collard greens: Fresh collard greens will give your dip the best flavor and texture. Look for collard greens that are deep green in color and have no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the collard greens thoroughly: Collard greens can be gritty, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before using them. Rinse the collard greens under cold water and then pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Remove the tough stems from the collard greens: The tough stems from the collard greens can make your dip tough and fibrous. To remove the stems, simply hold the collard green leaf in one hand and use your other hand to pull the stem away from the leaf.
  • Chop the collard greens finely: Finely chopped collard greens will help your dip to have a smooth and creamy texture. You can chop the collard greens by hand or use a food processor.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Using a variety of cheeses will give your dip a more complex flavor. Some good cheeses to use in collard green dip include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add some spice: If you like spicy food, you can add some spice to your collard green dip. Some good spices to use include cayenne pepper, chili powder, and paprika.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers: Collard green dip is a great appetizer or snack to serve at parties or gatherings. You can serve it with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, vegetables, or chips.

Conclusion:
