Corn And Tomato Pancakes With Green Goddess Dressing Recipes

TOMATOES WITH GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

Steps:

• Core, then cut the tomatoes into wedges and put them into a large bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve.

GREEN GODDESS PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• In a pot of heavily salted water, cook the tortellini according to the package directions.
• Make the dressing: While the water comes to a boil, chop enough of the fennel fronds to equal 1/4 cup. Put the fronds in a blender. Thinly slice enough of the fennel bulb for 3/4 cup, and set it aside. (Reserve any remaining fennel for another use.)
• Add sour cream, basil, chives, parsley, garlic, 1 scallion, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the blender with the fronds and purée until smooth. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice, or both, if needed.
• As soon as the tortellini is done, drain it well and put it in a large mixing bowl. Immediately, while it's still hot, toss in enough of the dressing to coat. Let pasta cool in the dressing, at least 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Thinly slice remaining 2 scallions and add to bowl with tortellini. Toss in sliced fennel and sugar-snap peas. Drizzle with more dressing, tossing if needed.
• To serve, transfer to a serving bowl, gently toss in arugula, drizzle with more olive oil and grind more fresh pepper over.

GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

• Combine the anchovies, mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, parsley, tarragon, basil, shallots, lemon juice and the 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a blender. Puree to make a smooth dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Use now or store, covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, basil, parsley, chives, tarragon and garlic, processing until smooth and scraping down the sides as necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with crudite and green salad. Cook's Note: The dressing will thicken as it chills. This is a great way to use up extra fresh herbs, switch out whatever herbs you have on hand.

CORN AND TOMATO PANCAKES WITH GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two kitchen towels stacked on top of each other and place in the oven. This will keep your cooked pancakes warm.
• Place the chopped tomatoes on paper towels, pressing gently to remove as much excess liquid as possible, then place the tomatoes in a bowl. Shear off the corn kernels with a sharp knife (you should have about 1 cup) and stir into the tomatoes.
• Whisk the flour, cornstarch, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, salt, pepper and baking soda together in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, melted butter and eggs together in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until they are just combined (it's okay if there are some lumps). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Put the mayonnaise, sour cream, 1/4 cup parsley, 1/4 cup chives, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon basil, anchovy paste, salt and pepper into the bowl of food processor and pulse, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula as needed, until the herbs are chopped and the dressing is thoroughly combined. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Ladle a heaping 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, spreading it into a 4 1/2-inch round; repeat to make another pancake. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the corn and tomato mixture over each pancake, then sprinkle each with about 1/4 teaspoon cornmeal. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until the vegetables begin to brown in spots and the batter is cooked through on the second side, about 1 minute 30 seconds more.
• Transfer the pancakes, vegetable side up, to the baking sheet in the oven, tucking them between the two kitchen towels. Repeat with the remaining batter, corn and tomato mixture and cornmeal to make more pancakes.
• When ready to serve, place 3 pancakes on each plate. Drizzle with the Green Goddess Dressing and top each serving with some of the whole herbs and chive batons.

GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

• Add the yogurt, mayonnaise, basil, dill, parsley, chives, garlic, lemon zest, juice, vinegar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to a blender. Puree until smooth, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days; stir well before using.

• Purée all ingredients except tomatoes in a food processor until pale green and smooth. Transfer to a bowl and thin with water if desired.
• Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and drizzle with dressing.

HONEY BUTTER GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Combine the honey, butter, chile flakes, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon of salt in a deep disposable 9-by-13-inch aluminum tray.
• Adjust the burners on a gas grill or arrange the hot coals on a charcoal grill to build a fire that is hot on one side and medium-low on the other side. Place the aluminum tray on the cooler side. Cover and let heat for a few minutes, swirling the butter occasionally until it is all melted and the liquid simmers gently.
• Add the corn to the hot side of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly blackened in spots all over, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the corn to the aluminum tray and turn to coat in the liquid. Keep turning as the liquid reduces to a shiny glaze, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also cook other foods over the hot side while the corn stays hot in the tray. Once glazed, you can continue to hold the corn in the pan for up to another 30 to 45 minutes, turning it occasionally and topping up with ¼ cup water as necessary to prevent the honey and butter from burning.)
• When ready to serve, coat a final time, sprinkle the corn with the minced parsley or chives and transfer to a serving platter.
