INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Experience a crunch like no other with this unique dish that combines crispy fried rice paper with a lush mango avocado cashew salad. It’s a textural delight that’s bursting with freshness and flavor.

How to serve
Serve this crispy delight as a stunning appetizer or a light, refreshing meal. The crackle of the rice paper perfectly complements the soft, rich textures of avocado and mango, with cashews adding a satisfying crunch. It’s a dish best enjoyed immediately to secure the crispy rice paper and the cool, fresh salad. Alternatively for making it ahead, you can serve the salad and the deep-fried rice paper individually.

How to store
The crispy rice paper should be enjoyed right after frying to maintain its texture. However, the mango avocado cashew salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container and is best eaten within a day to keep the flavors vibrant and fresh.

Ingredients

Units Scale
CUPS
  • 4 small rice paper
  • 200 milliliters deep-frying fat
DRESSING
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1/4 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Heat about 1 cm of frying oil to 180°C / 356°F in a small frying pan. Carefully cut the rice paper into quarters using scissors, and fry each quarter in the hot oil for 5 seconds until it puffs up and turns fluffy white. Remove from the pan and let it drain on paper towels. Note: The paper is only pliable for a short time after being removed from the oil.
  2. For the salad, finely shred the red cabbage and place it in a salad bowl. Peel the mango and avocado and cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces, adding them to the salad bowl as well. Finally, add the cashews.
  3. For the dressing, mix avocado oil, lime juice, grated garlic and ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl and pour it over the salad. Mix everything well.
  4. Slice the green part of the spring onion into fine strips and set aside.
  5. If serving immediately, lay out the fried rice papers, fill each with 1-2 tablespoons of salad, and top each with white sesame seeds, cress, and the sliced spring onions. If not serving immediately, I recommend preparing both components separately.

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 4 hrs + 45 min
  • Yield: 8-10 pieces

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • plastic wrap
  • medium-sized pot
  • strainer + small bowl
  • whisk
  • oven
  • rolling pin
  • pie dish (28 cm / 11″)
  • sharp knife
  • star-shaped cutter
  • aluminum foil
  • pastry brush

Ingredients

Units Scale
PIE CRUST
  • 350 grams all-purpose flour
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 130 grams unsalted butter, cold
  • 120 milliliters buttermilk, cold
  • pinch of salt
CHERRY FILLING
  • 700 grams morello cherries
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 30 grams cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • pinch of salt
BLUEBERRY FILLING
  • 250 grams blueberries
  • 50 grams white sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
TOPPING
  • 1 tbsp full-fat milk
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the dough in a medium-sized bowl. Mix flour, sugar, and salt together. Then add cold butter, cut into small pieces, and crumble everything by hand until the butter is flaky. Add all the buttermilk and mix by hand until you have a somehow crumbly but firm dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make the cherry filling in a medium-sized pot. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt together. Drain the cherries using a strainer, saving 1/2 cup of the juice, and add it to the pot. Cook over medium heat, letting it simmer until the mixture becomes creamy and the cloudiness disappears. Then add the cherries and a tablespoon of butter. Stir until the butter has melted. Set aside to cool.
  3. Next, prepare the blueberry filling. Wash the blueberries and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Add lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch and mix well until all the blueberries are well coated.
  4. Preheat the oven to 215°C / 420°F and place the rack on the lowest shelf.
  5. Take the dough out of the fridge and shape it into a round ball. Place the dough on a heavily floured, clean work surface. Sprinkle more flour on the dough, then roll it out from the center using a rolling pin. The dough should be about 12 cm / 5″ larger in diameter than the pie dish. The dough itself should be 1cm / 1/3″ thick. Roll the dough around the rolling pin, then unroll it over the pie dish. Carefully fit the dough into the dish, then trim the excess edges. Tuck the edge inward to create a thicker top edge. From the remaining dough, cut out 4 long strips and 6 stars for the Stars & Stripes decoration. Set these aside.
  6. Take a piece of aluminum foil, fold it lengthwise, and then shape it into a right angle so it fits into the upper left quarter of the pie dish, acting as a divider between the fillings. Fill the 1/4 area with the blueberry mixture and the 3/4 area with the cherry filling. Remove and discard the foil.
  7. Distribute the cut-out stars over the blueberry filling and arrange the strips over the cherry filling. Trim the strips at the edges and fold them in. Brush the Stars & Stripes and the edges of the crust with a little milk and sprinkle with brown sugar.
  8. Bake the pie in the oven for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 175°C / 350°F and bake for another 25 minutes. Let the pie cool completely, which can take 3-4 hours as the filling sets upon cooling. Happy 4th of July!

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Elevate your salad game with this green herb salad, a lush blend of romaine and butter lettuce mixed with sweet peas and tangy pickled onions, all dressed in a light, herb-infused yogurt dressing. It’s a garden-fresh delight that captures the essence of spring in every bite.

How to serve
This salad shines brightest when served fresh. Toss the crisp lettuces with the peas and pickled onions just before serving and sprinkle generously with dill, chives, and tarragon for that extra burst of freshness. It’s perfect alongside a grilled fish or as a standalone dish that’s both fulfilling and light.

How to store
Best enjoyed immediately, however, if you have leftovers, keep them separate in an airtight container in the fridge. The salad stays fresh for about two days, but it’s ideal to add the dressing just before serving to maintain crispness.

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • meat mallet
  • two plates
  • three shallow dishes for breading
  • large frying pan
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 slices white toast
  • 40 grams kewpie mayo
  • 40 grams tonkatsu sauce
  • 250 grams chicken breast
  • 1.5 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp panko bread crumbs
  • 3 tbsp regular bread crumbs
  • 50 grams clarified butter
  • 150 grams red cabbage
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Cut the red cabbage into eighths and finely shred or slice one eighth. Place it in a medium-sized bowl and marinate with rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Set aside.
  • Detach 4 leaves from the head of lettuce and wash thoroughly. Pat dry and set aside.
  • Halve the chicken breast lengthwise, then cut each half again crosswise. Place each piece between two layers of plastic wrap and pound to about 0.5 cm / 0.2″ thickness using a meat mallet. Lay the flattened meat on a plate.
  • Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes or bowls. Fill the first dish with 1.5 heaped tablespoons of wheat flour, crack an egg into the second dish and whisk it. In the third dish, mix together 3 heaped tablespoons each of panko and breadcrumbs. Coat each piece of chicken first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg, and finally, press into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s well coated on all sides. Place the breaded pieces side by side on a plate.
  • Heat clarified butter in a large frying pan and fry the breaded chicken pieces on both sides until crispy, about 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let the meat drain on kitchen paper.
  • Place half of the slices of bread flat on a clean work surface, then place a lettuce leaf on each. Top each with a piece of cooked chicken, followed by a zigzag pattern of Kewpie mayo and Tonkatsu sauce. Add about 2 tablespoons of red cabbage salad on top of the sauces. Finally, top the sandwiches with another slice of bread. If desired, trim the edges all around and cut the sandwiches in half in the middle with a sharp knife.

  • Yield: 6

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • vegetable peeler
  • large pot
  • baking dish
  • medium-sized pot
  • whisk
  • medium-sized bowl
  • piping bag

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 24 cannelloni roles
  • 40 grams parmesan
  • 125 grams mozzarella
  • fresh basil
BEEF SAUCE
  • 500 grams minced beef
  • 500 grams minced pork
  • 700 milliliters beef stock
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp clarified butter
  • 1 white onion
  • 1/2 celery stick
  • 1 carrot
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 100 milliliters dry white wine
  • 800 grams canned tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
BECHAMEL SAUCE
  • 500 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 50 grams butter
  • 50 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • 3/8 tsp salt
  • freshly grated nutmeg to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel the carrots, onion, and garlic, and chop them along with the celery into very small pieces. Set aside.
  2. Melt the clarified butter in a large pot and thoroughly brown the minced meat until a nice crust forms on the bottom. Then remove the meat from the pot and set it aside in a bowl.
  3. Now add the carrots, onion, garlic, and celery to the pot with 1 tbsp butter and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft. Deglaze with white wine and scrape up the crusty from the bottom. Return the ground meat to the pot along with tomato paste and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add beef broth and canned tomatoes and simmer over medium heat for about 1 hour without a lid. The consistency should be creamy-thick, neither too liquid nor too solid, just firm enough so that it doesn’t run out of the cannelloni when filling them. Now add oregano, salt, pepper, chili, and cinnamon, and season well. Set the filling aside to cool slightly.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the béchamel sauce. The recipe can be found here: Béchamel Sauce. Once prepared, set it aside. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 392°F.
  6. Set up your cannelloni filling station. You’ll need the meat filling in the pot, a piping bag, a baking dish, and a spoon. Place about 4 tablespoons of the meat filling at the bottom of the baking dish. Fill your piping bag with a few tablespoons of the filling and pipe it into the cannelloni. I recommend not overfilling the piping bag to maintain control. Fill all the cannelloni one by one and arrange them in a single layer over the sauce in your baking dish. Spread the remaining sauce over the cannelloni.
  7. Next, pour the béchamel over the cannelloni, ensuring all gaps are filled with sauce. Top with grated mozzarella and Parmesan.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil, increase the oven temperature to 220°C / 428°F, and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is crispy. Optionally, you can slice fresh basil into fine strips and sprinkle over the cannelloni.
