Twisted Soul Cookhouse And Pours Recipes

SOUTHERN MARINATED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the house seasoning: Combine garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning salt in a small bowl.
• For the chicken: Wash chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl. Combine 3 tablespoons house seasoning with 1 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl, then generously sprinkle each piece of chicken with the seasoning mixture. Place in a plastic bag, seal and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Remove chicken from bag. Add about 3/4-inch frying oil to a cast-iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat until temperature reaches about 350 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons house seasoning with the flour in a shallow pan (save remaining house seasoning for another use). Roll chicken in flour in batches, dusting off excess, and place in skillet. Turn heat down to medium to prevent burning. Brown chicken on all sides, turning with tongs, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (avoid touching bone) registers 165 degrees F. Remove chicken to lined plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Use a 5-ounce scoop to portion out some 3-Cheese Macaroni in the center of a plate. Add 3 tablespoons Sweet Potato Apple Chutney. Cut a Collard Green Roll in half on the bias, and place each piece against the scoop of macaroni. Place fried chicken pieces against the front of the macaroni and cheese scoop. Pour a little of the pot liquor from the greens around the plate, then grab your favorite hot sauce and dig in! (Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 8 more plates.)
• For the house seasoning: Combine garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning salt in a small bowl.
• For the macaroni and cheese: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside.
• Place cooked macaroni in a large bowl. Toss macaroni with white pepper, 1/8 cup house seasoning and 1 cup Cheddar. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, being careful not to burn. Whisk flour into melted butter to make a roux. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until a smooth paste, about 2 minutes. Turn heat to low and slowly add milk, whisking continuously, then allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Add the American cheese and cream cheese in batches, whisking, until melted and blended. Add 1 1/2 cups Cheddar, whisking until blended, then remove from heat. Add 1/8 cup house seasoning to cheese sauce (save remaining house seasoning for another use). Quickly whisk in the eggs until combined.
• Spread macaroni evenly into prepared baking dish. Add cheese sauce, tossing, and stirring to coat macaroni well with sauce. Top with remaining cup Cheddar. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese crust is browned, 5 to 10 minutes more. Allow to sit 15 minutes before serving.
• Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and clove. Add apple cider, stirring, then allow to simmer for about 10 minutes. Add apples, red peppers, brown sugar and 1 cup water and continue to cook, adding more water if needed, until sweet potatoes are soft but still firm and mixture is thick and syrupy, about 20 minutes. Stir in raisins and bourbon and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• For the house seasoning: Combine garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning salt in a small bowl.
• For the rolls: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic, celery, onions and green and red peppers and sweat, about 4 minutes. Add chopped collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, jalapenos, smoked salt, baking soda, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup house seasoning and enough water to cover greens (save remaining house seasoning for another use). Cook greens until tender, 2 1/2 hours. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Strain pot liquor from greens and reserve. Place pot liquor in a shallow pan and heat over medium heat. Carefully add whole collard green leaves and simmer until leaves soften, about 3 minutes. Remove leaves one at a time and place on a flat surface. Flatten a leaf and top with 1 scoop drained greens right in the middle of the leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf over the greens and roll the leaf into a log. Repeat process with remaining leaves and filling.

SOUTHERN SEAFOOD LOUIE SALAD

Steps:

• For the house seasoning: Combine garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning salt in a small bowl.
• For the mango vinaigrette: Combine mango, vinegar, honey, lime juice, ginger, salt, shallot and 1 tablespoon house seasoning in a blender. Turn blender speed to high and slowly add olive oil until blended well. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. (Vinaigrette keeps, refrigerated, up to 7 days. It's great on salads, fish and chicken.)
• For the apple cider vinaigrette: Combine vinegar, honey and 1 tablespoon house seasoning in a blender. With blender on high, slowly add oil until well blended. Remove and store in an airtight jar, refrigerated, for up to 3 months.
• For the corn relish: Combine the corn, peppers, onion, cilantro, 1 tablespoon house seasoning and 1/2 cup apple vinaigrette in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the avocado hoe cakes: Mix together cornmeal, buttermilk, onion, oil, pepper, cilantro, eggs, avocado and jalapeno in a bowl.
• Add just enough frying oil to a skillet or griddle to coat the bottom and heat over medium-high heat. Drop about 2 tablespoons batter into the skillet for each hoe cake. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes, then turn and brown the other side, 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
• For the Southern poached seafood: Add oil to a saute pan and heat over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in heated pan and place lobster meat in same pan, keeping shrimp and lobster in separate corners of the pan. Add crab boil seasoning, seafood seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Cook shrimp and lobster until translucent, about 2 minutes, then add crab meat, also keeping separate, and continuing to cook until heated through, about another 30 seconds. Transfer seafood to a small platter, keeping separate, and refrigerate to cool.
• Place about 3/4 cup arugula in the center of a plate and top with 1/4 cup corn relish. Off to the side, place 3 warm avocado hoe cakes. Atop each avocado hoe cake, place a different type of chilled seafood. Drizzle each topped hoe cake with mango vinaigrette and drizzle additional mango vinaigrette on the plate as desired. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
