Grilled Salsify Corn And Bacon Hush Puppy With Salsify Honey Butter Dipping Sauce Recipes

SWEET POTATO AND BACON HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• For the dip: Combine the sour cream, honey mustard and lemon juice in a bowl and mix until well blended.
• For the hushpuppies: Fill a medium heavy-bottomed pot with enough oil to come 1/3 of the way up the sides. Place over medium heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the corn bread mix, cornmeal, onions, eggs, sweet potato puree and bacon until well combined. When the oil reaches 350 degrees F, carefully drop the batter by the heaping tablespoonful into the oil using 2 spoons or a small ice cream scoop. Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a tray lined with paper towels. Serve immediately with creamy honey mustard dip on the side.

BACON HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and cheese in medium bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs and bacon bits; stir just until blended.
• Heat oil in large saucepan to 375°F. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter, in batches, into hot oil; cook 2 to 3 min. or until browned on both sides. (Hush puppies will float to the top as they cook.) Remove hush puppies from oil with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
• Place in shallow pan in warm oven to keep warm until ready to serve.

GRILLED SALMON WITH BACON AND CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill (preferably charcoal) for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cut kernels from corn ears into a large bowl using a sharp knife held at a 45-degree angle. Scrape cobs with the back of the knife into the bowl to get the juices.
• Stir white and light green parts of green onions into bacon and add red bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables just start to become tender, about 2 minutes. Stir corn into bacon mixture and let corn just warm through. Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, a few chopped dark green onion tops, olive oil, and rice vinegar. Turn off heat under relish.
• Spread vegetable oil onto both sides of salmon fillets and season fish with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Cook on preheated grill until fish shows good grill marks, the flesh flakes easily, and fish is still slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. A crack that opens up in the salmon flesh as you cook will let you see how done the salmon is in the middle.
• Divide spinach leaves onto 2 plates and top each with a salmon fillet and half the bacon relish. Sprinkle on a few green onion tops for garnish.

QUICK AND EASY HUSH PUPPIES

Steps:

• Mix corn muffin mix, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until blended.
• Stir eggs and evaporated milk into dry ingredients until moistened.
• Stir cream-style corn into mixture to make a moist batter. Let batter stand while oil heats.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Gently drop a teaspoon of batter at a time into the hot oil, staying as close to the oil as possible to avoid splattering. Fry hush puppies until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch.
• Remove hush puppies with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
