Peanut And Scallion Relish Recipes

PEANUT AND SCALLION RELISH

Steps:

• Combine scallion, peanuts, cilantro, and brown sugar in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Use immediately. (Don't prepare this relish ahead of time-the cilantro will make the peanuts soggy.)

DEVILED HAM FRITTATA WITH JALAPENO AND SCALLION RELISH

Steps:

• Heat 1/3 cup of the vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Carefully add the jalapeno and scallions. Turn off the heat and stir to combine. Cook in the hot oil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the sesame oil and season lightly with salt. Remove to a bowl and set aside until ready to serve. Wipe the pan clean.
• Heat the broiler with a rack set in the middle of the oven.
• Pulse the ham, onions and mustard in the bowl of a food processor until a chunky paste forms.
• Whisk the eggs and heavy cream in a mixing bowl.
• Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the same saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the pureed ham mixture and saute until the onions have softened and the mixture is lightly browned in parts, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium and wait 2 minutes in order for the pan to come down to temperature; continue stirring. Pour the beaten eggs over the ham, mix together and cook until the eggs start to set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and continue to cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place the frittata under the broiler and broil until the top is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from the pan and invert onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve topped with the jalapeno and scallion relish. Serve alongside a lightly dressed green salad if desired.

SCALLOP SATE WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the skewers in cold water to cover and set aside.
• Combine the soy sauce, a tablespoon and a half of the fish sauce, three tablespoons of the vinegar and a tablespoon of the chili oil in a bowl. Add the scallops, mix to combine, cover and allow the scallops to marinate one to three hours. Refrigerate them if they will be marinating more than an hour.
• Cut the red pepper into strips about an inch wide, then cut into squares. Make 24 squares.
• Heat a small nonstick skillet, add the pepper squares and sear, tossing briefly about five minutes, just until the pepper squares begin to soften. Remove from the heat and set peppers aside.
• Meanwhile beat the peanut butter and orange juice together until well blended. Stir in the remaining fish sauce, vinegar and chili oil. Season to taste with hot red pepper flakes. Stir in the scallions and cilantro. Transfer to a small serving dish appropriate for a dip and set aside.
• Just before serving, thread two scallops on each of the skewers with a pepper square between them. Be sure the food on the skewers is placed close to the pointed end of the skewer so guests can easily bite the scallops and peppers off the skewers without having to imitate a sword swallower.
• Preheat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil the skewers close to the source of heat until seared. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and place the dish of peanut sauce in the middle or alongside. Pass as hors d'oeuvres with cocktails.
