Sweet Corn Spoonbread With Smothered Shrimp Poached Eggs And Fried Green Tomatoes Food

CAESAR DEVILED 6-MINUTE EGGS

Steps:

• Add the eggs to a small pot with cold water to cover. Bring to boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 6 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water, cracking the eggs slightly to make them easier to peel. When cooled slightly, remove the shells with a spoon, then set the eggs aside to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, garlic and Parmesan in a small bowl; mix well. Transfer to a pastry bag with the tip cut off.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil is glistening, add the anchovies and capers; sauté until beginning to crisp. Stir in the panko and cook until beginning to toast, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Pipe the desired amount of mayonnaise mixture--1 to 2 tablespoons--onto each egg yolk. Top with the panko mixture, 1 shaving of Parmesan, and some lemon zest and parsley. Serve.

SPOONBREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking powder and pepper.
• To another medium bowl, add the melted butter, corn kernels, creamed corn, sour cream, eggs and vanilla, and stir to combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
• Fold in crawfish and chives, if using. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to the edges of the pan.
• Bake until set and lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the middle to test. If it comes out clean, pull it out of the oven. If not, bake the spoonbread for another 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with extra chives, if desired, and serve the spoonbread hot, with butter.

SWEET POACHED CORN

Steps:

• In a medium-sized saucepan, combine all ingredients.
• Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for about 10 - 15 minutes or until corn is heated through, stirring frequently.
• Strain corn with a slotted spoon, as you serve.

CORNED BEEF HASH WITH FRIED OR POACHED EGG

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil (or just one kind of fat) over medium-high heat in a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet.
• Add potatoes and allow to get golden and crusty on one side (about 2-3 minutes). Gently turn over with a spatula and do this a couple more times to get a golden crust all over.
• Add onion and garlic and saute with potatoes for 4-5 minutes; then add peppers, sauteeing a couple of minutes more.
• Finally, add corned beef and cook for 8-10 minutes, always flipping hash over every couple of minutes to ensure a crust develops on all sides. This should take about 20 minutes in all. Adjust seasoning - it won't need too much salt because of the corned beef, but LOTS of freshly ground black pepper is a GOOD thing.
• You can prepare the eggs in another pan during these steps.
• Distribute hash mixture amongst 4 plates and top each serving with a fried or poached egg.
• Season with Hot Sauce at table, to taste.
• Enjoy!
