Mushroom Bulgur Spinach And Turkey Fritters With Yogurt Sauce Recipes

MUSHROOM, BULGUR, SPINACH AND TURKEY FRITTERS WITH YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the mushroom base, bulgur, chopped herbs, garlic, onion, baharat, cumin, and ground turkey. Salt generously.
• Steam the spinach for 2 minutes, rinse with cold water and squeeze out excess water with you hands. Chop medium-fine and add the turkey mixture.
• In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, blend together the chickpeas and egg. Scrape into the bowl with the turkey mixture and mix everything together well. Shape into patties, about 2 tablespoons (45 grams) each; they should measure about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and be about 1/2 inch thick. Place on a sheet pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes if possible.
• Meanwhile mix together the ingredients for the yogurt sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Heat 1 or 2 large, heavy skillets over medium-high heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom. When the pans are hot, add the patties and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to the parchment-lined sheet pan and place in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot or room temperature, with the yogurt sauce.

• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the wine and cook until absorbed, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir the turkey and spinach into the sauce and cook until the turkey is warmed through and the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved cooking water and return to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/3 cup parmesan.

Steps:

• First make the chutney. In a small saucepan, heat the sugar, vinegar and some salt. Boil for 1 min, then add the onion and tomatoes. Simmer for 1 min, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• Boil the bulgur wheat in plenty of water until tender - about 5 mins. Drain well and tip into a bowl. Put the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water from the kettle to wilt. Cool under the cold tap, then squeeze out as much water as you can. Chop and add to the bulgur with the cumin, onion, garlic and breadcrumbs. Tip half into a food processor and blitz until it forms a chunky paste. Return to the remaining half with the beaten egg and some seasoning. Mix together, then shape into 8 patties and chill until ready to cook.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a wide frying pan, preferably non-stick, and fry the fritters in two batches until crisp on both sides. Meanwhile, lightly oil a 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tin and put in the oven to warm up for a few mins. Remove and carefully crack the remaining eggs into the holes, then bake for 3-4 mins until done to your liking. Use the tip of a knife to help lift out the eggs, then serve with the fritters, chutney and some salad leaves.
