Chickpea Pancakes

January 22, 2023 by Jill Foucre Leave a Comment

 

Chickpea Pancakes
2023-01-23 00:18:42
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 ½ cups plus 2 T chickpea flour, spooned and leveled
  2. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving
  3. 3 scallions, chopped
  4. ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for serving
  5. 1 cup water
  6. 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for cooking and serving
  7. 1 cucumber, very thinly sliced
  8. 1 avocado, sliced
  9. Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, dill, scallions, salt, water, and the 2 tablespoons oil.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. For each pancake, spoon in about 2 tablespoons of the batter and space 2 inches apart. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the undersides are golden brown and the batter is just set in the center. Flip the pancakes and cook 1 minute more, or until the pancakes cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as necessary (you should get about 12 pancakes).
  3. Divide the pancakes among plates and top with the cucumber and avocado. Drizzle the cucumber and avocado with a little oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and dill.

Grilled Cheese with Momofuku Chili Crunch

January 5, 2023 by Jill Foucre Leave a Comment

Grilled Cheese with Momofuku Chili Crunch
2023-01-06 03:00:58
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2 teaspoons Kewpie mayonnaise
  2. 2 teaspoons salted butter, room temperature, plus more for frying
  3. 2 slices of your favorite sandwich bread
  4. 2 slices American cheese
  5. 2 teaspoons Momofuku Chili Crunch
Instructions
  1. The key to this grilled cheese is to spread the outside with mayo – and load the inside with lots of Chili Crunch.
  2. Spread Kewpie mayonnaise on one side and salted butter on the other side of each of the slices of bread.
  3. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the first slice of bread, mayonnaise side-down (butter side should be facing up). Add one slice of American cheese. Add 2 teaspoons of Momofuku Chili Crunch, then add the other slice of American cheese. (The chili crunch is sandwiched between the layers of cheese.) Top with the other slice of bread butter side down, mayonnaise side up.
  4. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes for each side. Repeat for additional sandwiches.

Pumpkin Risotto with Chili Oil, Pepitas & Cocoa Nibs

November 18, 2022 by Jill Foucre Leave a Comment

Pumpkin Risotto with Chili Oil, Pepitas & Cocoa Nibs
2022-11-18 22:28:42
Print
Ingredients
  1. 8 c. stock (vegetable or chicken) or water
  2. olive oil or butter
  3. 1 onion, thinly sliced (about 1 c.)
  4. 1 c. Arborio rice
  5. 1 c. white wine
  6. 1-2 c. pumpkin puree
  7. chili oil
  8. toasted pepitas
  9. cocoa nibs
Instructions
  1. In a large stockpot, covered, bring the stock to a boil. Lower the heat and keep the liquid hot.
  2. In a large sauté pan, warm some olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the onion and a big pinch of salt and sweat the onion until translucent and tender. Add the rice and briefly toast, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the wine and start the constant stirring. When the wine is fully absorbed, add a ladleful (about 1 c.) of the hot cooking liquid and continue stirring. When that liquid is fully absorbed, add another ladleful and stir until fully absorbed.
  4. Continue adding ladlefuls of liquid and stirring constantly until the risotto is creamy and tender, about 20 minutes; you may not need all the liquid. Gently stir in the pumpkin.
  5. Transfer to serving bowl, drizzle with chili olive oil, then sprinkle with toasted pepitas and cocoa nibs.
