Smashed Red Potatoes with Cabbage

 

Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs red potatoes
  • kosher salt
  • neutral oil
  • ½ cup whole grain dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup stout
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 bunches of radishes, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 small green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (1# sliced)
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • fresh dill
  • flaky sea salt

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Place the whole red potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a heaping pinch of salt. Bring the water up to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until just fork-tender. Drain the potatoes. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl of ice water for a couple of minutes. Once cool, transfer the potatoes to paper towels and let them fully dry.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together the mustard, stout, and honey. Season with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  4. Toss the radishes with a touch of oil and a generous pinch of salt. Spread them out onto a sheet pan in one, even layer. Roast for 15 minutes.
  5. Place a large, heavy-bottom pan over medium heat. Add enough oil to come up the sides about ¼ of an inch. While the oil heats up, use your hands to smash the potatoes flat. Once the oil is hot, place the potatoes into the pan, working in batches so that you don’t overcrowd the oil.
  6. Pan-fry the potatoes until crispy on one side. Flip them over and continue to fry until crispy on the other. Lower the heat if needed so that the potatoes don’t burn before crisping. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Continue to fry all of the potatoes.
  7. Meanwhile, heat a second sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let melt. Add the shallots. Sauté for a few minutes until tender and caramelized. Stir in the caraway seeds and season with a pinch of salt. Add 1/3 of the cabbage. Let sauté for a minute or so. Add another 1/3 of cabbage and repeat. Add the remaining cabbage and let sauté until tender and slightly browned. Season with salt to taste.
  8. To assemble, spread the sour cream onto a platter. Top with the cabbage, crispy smashed potatoes, and roasted radishes. Spoon the stout mustard over top. Garnish with fresh dill, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Pan Roasted Radishes

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 pound red radishes, any shape, (about 3 bunches), halved lengthwise
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 whole sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed with a knife
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions:

  1. Fire up a large skillet. Medium-high.
  2. Spray evenly with cooking spray.
  3. Add the radishes. Using a wooden spoon, tumble the radishes in the pan while blistering and browning, about 1 minute. There are plenty of natural sugars to play with in those radishes.
  4. When the radishes look toasted in areas and slightly pan-charred in others, lower the heat somewhere between medium-low to low (essentially, we want the radishes to sweat now, not roast, so low and controlled is the answer).
  5. Tumble again. Monitor while the radishes collapse a bit. You'll see them getting tender before your eyes. Cook for about 6 minutes, tumbling occasionally.
  6. Pierce one with a fork, not a knife. If it's tender, pick it up ceremoniously. Wave it in the air to cool it down. Sway your hips, too. It's cool to dance when you cook. Now, taste. You'll want to experience this flavor, even pre-seasoned.
  7. Hopefully, they're not quite ready yet. Add the butter, the thyme sprigs, and the smashed garlic clove to the pan. Raise the heat to medium-high. Tumble for about 1 minute, allowing the garlic to toast. Season with salt.

Roasted Radish and Herbed Ricotta Omelet

Ingredients:
For the roasted radishes:
1 cup thinly-sliced French Breakfast radishes, or other radish variety
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
For the ricotta:
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons fresh whole milk ricotta
2 teaspoons minced fresh chives
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon minced fresh flat leaf parsley, plus extra for topping
For the eggs:
4 large or extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
Instructions:
To make the radishes, preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the radishes with the olive oil and salt. Spread in a thin layer in a roasting dish and bake until soft and tender, 10 to 12 minutes (any longer and you may end up with radish chips).
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta with the minced herbs.
To make the omelet, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in half the egg mixture and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the bottom to set slightly. Run a spatula under the edges, lifting up and tilting the pan to allow uncooked eggs to run under the cooked part. Continue to do this until the majority of the egg is set. Carefully flip the omelet and remove from heat.
Spread half the ricotta mixture over half of the omelet and sprinkle with half of the radishes. Fold the omelet over over the filling and sprinkle with a few more roasted radish slices and minced parsley.
Repeat to make the second omelet. Serve both omelets immediately.
