Fresh Corn & Sundried Tomato Tagliatelle

Yields: 4 Servings
Picture

WHAT YOU NEED

  • 400g Dry Tagliatelle Pasta
  • EVOO
  • 2 Tbsp. Unslated Butter
  • 1 Tbsp. Pepperoncini in Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, crushed & minced
  • 1 Yellow Onion, finely diced
  • 2 Tbsp. Sundried Tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
  • 2 Cobs Fresh Corn, stripped from cob
  • 3/4 C White Wine
  • 3 Tbsp. Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • Handful Fresh Basil, torn
  • 6 Tbsp. + Sundried Tomato Pesto (*1)
  • 1/3 C Pecorino, grated
  • 1/3 C Feta, crumbled
  • Sea Salt
  • SUNDRIED TOM PESTO
  • 1 C Fresh Basil
  • 1/2 C Fresh Parsley
  • 1/2 Tbsp. Pepperoncini In Oil
  • 1 Tbsp. Sundried Tomatoes in Oil, chopped
  • 1/2 Lemon
  • 1/4 C Raw Walnuts
  • 1/4 C Grana Padano, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, crushed
  • 1/3 C + EVOO
  • 1 Tbsp. Sundried Tomato Liquid
  • 1 Tbsp. Water
  • 1/2 Tsp. Sea Salt
Picture
Picture

DIRECTIONS

  • Bring a large pot of cold, heavily salted water to a boil on medium high heat. Once boiled leave covered until needed.
  • PESTO - Add all of the ingredients to a small, personal blender(*2) and puree until combined. Add additional EVOO / water to emulsify if needed. Taste, adjust salt if desired, and set aside until needed.
  • Begin heating a drizzle of EVOO, the pepperoncini in oil, butter, and garlic, in a large skillet set to about medium heat. Once heated, let the garlic sizzle for about 30 seconds while stirring to avoid burning. Add the onions, sundried tomatoes, and a good pinch of salt. Stir and cook 6 minutes, reducing heat if needed to avoid scorching. Drop in the torn basil and let that sizzle for 30 seconds before stirring.
  • Add the fresh corn and another good pinch of salt. Stir and cook another 4 - 5 minutes before pouring in the wine. Let the wine simmer until reduced by over half. In the meantime, add your pasta to the boiling water and cook to al dente. Strain directly in to the skillet and continue to toss the pasta together with the wine / corn to release some of the pasta's starches and continue to cook the noodles. Once they're cooked to perfection, turn off the heat and fold in the fresh parsley, crumbled feta, pecorino, 6 Tbsp. of the sundried tomato pesto, and a ladle of pasta water. Toss using tongs until everything is combined and glossy, adding more pasta water if needed to help create an emulsified sauce. Taste and add additional salt / pesto if desired. 
  • Refrigerate any remaining pesto in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
  • For service, serve your portions with additional grated pecorino, pepper flakes, fresh parsley, and some basil leaves. ENJOY!
Picture
NOTES:
(*1) - Although I've provided a recipe for my sundried tomato pesto, don't hesitate to use a jar of pesto if you have that on hand. I always have a jar myself for recipes just like this one.

(*2) I like the consistency of my pesto out of the blended but feel free to use your food processor for a more traditional, chunky pesto.

DIRECTIONS

  • FILLING - Mix everything together in a medium sized mixing bowl except for the egg. Taste your filling and add salt to taste if desired. Whisk in the egg, cover, and refrigerate until assembly.
  • SAUCE - Begin heating 2 Tbsp. butter, the EVOO, pepperoncini, and garlic cloves, in a medium sized pot set to about medium heat. Once heated, let everything sizzle for 30 seconds - 1 minute without burning. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and a generous pinch of sea salt. Stir and cook 6 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and continue to cook another 2 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until reduced before adding the roasted peppers, pepper liquid, and tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a boil and once boiled, reduce the heat to medium low, add the handful of fresh basil, dried oregano, and 1/2 Tsp. sea salt. Cover and simmer 25 minutes. Blend using an immersion blender until nice and smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 Tbsp. butter & whipping cream. Bring to temperature, taste, and add additional salt if desired.
  • While the sauce cooks, begin heating enough vegetable oil on medium in a skillet for a shallow fry. Use a mandolin to slice the zuccs on the second lowest setting in to nice, thin strips. Working in batches, cook the zucchinis in the hot oil for 2 - 3 minutes per side until tender and showing some browning. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and continue until all zuccs have been fried.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F​

Place your first layer of fresh noodles in to the dish, cutting them to fit the dish if needed. Ladle more sauce over the noodles and spread to coat them. Lay some sliced zucchinis along the sheets followed by dollops of your pesto and about 1/2 C shredded mozz. Season the layer with sea salt and place your next layer of sheets. Sauce, zuccs, pesto, 1/2 C mozz, followed by more sheets. Spread your entire batch of filling to coat the entire layer. Top with more lasagna sheets and continue with another zucchini layer followed by more sheets for the top. (4 Layers.) Finish with sauce to coat the top layer, remaining sliced zuccs, more pesto dollops, and all of the remaining 1 C pizza mozzarella.
  • Cover the lasagna and bake for 40 minutes. Remove cover and continue to bake another 15 - 20 minutes until nice and bubbly & golden. You could switch the oven to BROIL 500 F for a minute or two for additional colour on top.
  • Remove from oven and set the lasagna on to a wire cooling rack for 20 minutes.

Picture
Sundried Tomato Pesto & Sweet Corn Flatbread


Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 20 Min

Yields: 6 Slices
Picture

WHAT YOU NEED

  • 300g President's Choice Flatbread
  • 1 Cob Fresh Sweet Corn
  • Pepperoncini in Oil
  • 9 Slices Pizza Mozzarella (*1)
  • 1 Clove Garlic, sliced
  • 1/2 Red Onion, sliced
  • 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
  • Crumbled Feta
  • Pickled Hot Peppers
  • Sundried Tomatoes
  • Fresh Basil
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Dried Oregano
  • ​Sundried Tomato Pesto (*2) 
  • 1 C Fresh Basil
  • 1/2 C Fresh Parsley
  • 1 Lemon, juiced
  • 2 Tbsp. Sundried Tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 Tsp. Pepperoncini In Oil
  • 1/4 C Raw Walnuts
  • 1/4 C Grana Padano, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/3 C + 1 Tbsp. EVOO
  • 1 Tbsp. + Water (more if needed to emulsify)
  • 1/2 Tsp. Sea Salt
NOTES:
​

(*1) - I use the balls of pizza mozzarella so when I say slices, I'm talking rounds. If you're using a brick for example, just cut enough to coat the flatbread.

(*2) - I ALWAYS have a jar of store bought pesto in my fridge. This flatbread is very simple without preparing the pesto from scratch, so don't be afraid to open the jar if you're looking to keep things quick.

Picture
Picture

DIRECTIONS

  • Add all of the ingredients for the pesto to a blender and blend until creamy. You may need to add more water / oil to get it to an emulsified and creamy state. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a grill pan on medium. Husk the corn and get as much of the silk off as possible. Spray the cob with cooking spray and place the cob on the grill. grill on all 4 sides to allow for some browning / blistering. Remove and cool before cutting the corn off of the cob.
  • Preheat oven to 425 F
  • Start by drizzling the flatbread with EVOO and brushing it around to coat entirely. Next, brush the base of the flatbread with the prepared sundried tomato pesto, leaving about a half an inch around the border for a crust. Place your sliced mozzarella and then start building with your toppings. Place some hot peppers, red onions, sundried tomatoes, sliced peppers, fresh basil, chopped parsley, & sliced garlic around the flatbread. Top with the grilled corn, crumbled feta, pepperoncini, and a good sprinkling of dried oregano.
  • Bake on the bottom rack of your preheated oven for 8 - 12 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
  • Cut in to 6 equal sized pieces and garnish with additional herbs if desired. ENJOY!

Cheesy Baked Bean Crumpets

9/4/2022

0 Comments

 
I follow a page on Twitter called Rate My Plate, where people send in photos of their food for viewers to enjoy, criticize, or skewer. I'm still not sure if the ones who send in ugly pictures really believe the plate is good, or are looking for some fun, but I love the page. I've seen some really horrifying plates you guys, like, really bad, but I've also stumbled across a few gorgeous ones like the one that inspired this recipe.

This is giving me back in Ireland vibes. I was loving the whole baked beans for breakfast thing, although my stomach might have felt differently. Quite simply, toasty crumpets, baked beans, the oldest cheddar, gouda, and some white & green onions. Delish.

Cheesy Baked Bean Crumpets



Prep Time: 10 Min
Cook Time: 10 Min

Yields: 6 Pieces
Picture

WHT YOU NEED

  • 6 Pack Crumpets
  • 398ml can Tomato Sauce Baked Beans
  • Unsalted Butter
  • 6 Tbsp. Gouda, shredded
  • 6 Tbsp. Extra Old White Cheddar, shredded

  • 1 - 2 Green Onions, thinly sliced
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
Picture

DIRECTIONS

  • Warm up the baked beans in a small pot, covered over medium low heat.
  • In the meantime, toast the crumpets. I usually toast them twice if I'm piling liquidy toppings on top.
  • Preheat oven to BROIL 500 F
  • Arrange the crumpets on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Place a sliver of butter on each crumpet and use a slotted spoon to scoop a generous amount of baked beans on each crumpet. Top each crumpet with one tablespoon of each of the cheeses, a sprinkling of salt, pepper, and pepper flakes, and toss them in to the oven.
  • Broil until cheese is bubbly and melted. Garnish with finely diced yellow uns & sliced green onions. ENJOY!

GIVE IT SOME EXTRA OOMPH

Wanna crank these cheesy crumpets up a notch. If you've got the time and patience, try making my Baked beans recipe. They're smoky, flavourful, and absolutely delicious.

Make it an experience with an egg cooked to your liking. I suggest a yolky one because that golden yolk and those cheesy beans are a match made in heaven.

NOTES:

(*1) I LOVE Nando's Peri Peri Garlic sauce in medium. It's hot, has great flavour, and it's my personal fave. You can easily sub it out for your favourite peri peri sauce but make sure it's got some heat because that's what these sprouts are all about.
Picture

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 425 F
  • Place the sliced brussel sprouts on a parchment lined baking sheet with the sliced side facing up. Whisk together the oil, peri peri sauce, pepper flakes, cayenne, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Brush this on each of the sprouts individually and reserve the remainder of the sauce. Season the tray liberally with sea salt.
  • Bake the brussel sprouts for 15 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and flip each of the sprouts on to the flat side. Brush each of the sprouts with the reserved sauce, adding more oil / peri if needed to stretch it out. Season the sprouts again with sea salt and return them to the oven.
  • Continue to bake 7 - 10 minutes until tender & slightly charred. 
  • Transfer the sprouts to a serving dish and drizzle the dish with peri peri sauce. Finish with a sprinkling of green onions & ENJOY!
