Ham And Apple Fritters With Cranberry Orange Crown And Royal Fig Dipping Sauces Recipes

CRANBERRY, HAM AND SWISS CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut along the perforated lines to separate it into individual triangles. Arrange each triangle on a work surface with the short side closest to you.
• Place about 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce on each triangle and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly over the dough, leaving 1 inch of the tip bare. Place a piece of ham on the short side of the dough on top of the cranberry sauce and top with a slice of cheese. Wrap the sides of the ham over the short ends of the cheese to keep it intact.
• Start from the short side of the dough and roll it up and over to encase the ham and cheese. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is slightly oozing, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving platter and serve with Dijon mustard.

HAMMED-UP FRITTERS WITH MANCHEGO CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl add the flour, smoked paprika and chicken stock and chives. Whisk well to form a thick batter. Stir in the 2 beaten eggs and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and fry the minced ham and onion until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Allow the ham and onion to cool in the pan. Once cooled, add ham mixture along with any oil to the batter. Season the batter with more salt and pepper. In batches and using a small scoop or a large tablespoon, drop 5 or 6 scoops of batter into the oil and fry until well browned, turning once, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on brown paper or paper towels and repeat with the remaining batter. Transfer the fritters to a serving platter and serve with Manchego Cheese Sauce on the side.
• For Cheese Sauce:
• Heat the olive oil in small saucepan, then add the shallots, jalapeno, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 4 minutes to soften the shallots. Add the flour and mix to form a roux. Stir in the milk and bouillon, whisking well to blend. Whisk in the cheese and combine well. Reduce the heat to low and add smoked paprika and sour cream. Whisk to combine and serve warm with fritters.

APPLE-ORANGE CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice away the bottom of the orange so it sits steady on the cutting board. Working from top to bottom, slice off the peel, leaving behind most of the white pith. Finely dice half of the peel strips; discard the rest or save for another use. In a small saucepan over high heat, combine the diced peel and the water. When the water comes to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, squeeze all the juice from the orange and set aside.Strain and set aside the blanched orange peel.
• In a medium saucepan, add diced apple, cranberries, orange juice, blanched orange peel, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce the heat to low and partially cover the pan. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, the apple is tender, and the cranberries have burst, 10-15 minutes.
• Transfer the cranberry sauce to a heatproof bowl and let cool for 1 hour before serving.
