“I love food that makes noise,” says Edward Lee, chef and owner of Louisville, Kentucky’s 610 Magnolia and the Wine Studio. When F&W challenged the Top Chef Season 9 contestant to make a fast dish with pork, kale and white wine, he created a deeply flavorful soup, then added crumbled rice cakes that crackle as they hit the broth. The dish is based on one he likes from a hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese spot in Manhattan’s Chinatown. “They make a big deal out of adding the rice, so you can celebrate the sizzling sound,” Lee says.
These mini wedges are coated in a creamy, anchovy-packed dressing and dredged in crunchy panko, making them easy to eat with your hands.
Southern chef Frank Stitt adores this versatile cut of pork. It can be sliced into chops and cooked individually or roasted whole and carved at the table.
If there’s a South Asian grocery store where you live, it’s likely that they carry black salt. If not, it can sometimes be found at gourmet or specialty grocery stores, or it can always be sourced from online spice shops or retailers.
My aunt Christine taught me how to make crab cakes over the phone. And what I learned is that you can use leftover boiled shrimp as a binder instead of breadcrumbs. When you grind shrimp in a food processor, it becomes sticky, and just a small amount will hold crabmeat and smothered vegetables together well enough to form into patties.
Chef Way: Bruce Sherman places crabs and pancetta on small rounds of brioche slathered with homemade remoulade (mayonnaise mixed with mustard, capers, cornichons and herbs). He then sprinkles them with bits of hard-boiled egg and dresses the plate with a caper-brown butter sauce. Easy Way: Prepare hefty soft-shell crab sandwiches by layering salty slices of pancetta, slabs of tomato and a remoulade made with store-bought mayonnaise. Skip the fancy plating, omitting the eggs and the butter sauce.
There’s a lot of potential here, and you can definitely get creative. To keep it simple, pair the salmon with rice and steamed veggies. You could also place it on top of a bed of mashed potatoes for a heartier meal or between two slices of your favorite bread as an easy sandwich.
It's easy to find recipes and ideas when thinking about side dishes for salmon. Consider dishes like fluffy rice pilaf, roasted red potatoes, steamed asparagus and sauteed spinach.
My husband and I owned a recreational vehicle for more than 20 years and loved to go camping. I learned how to make so many meals on a grill. One of the best things about being at a campground is the smell of breakfast cooking in the morning. When I fixed this on my grill last week, the aroma on my deck reminded me so much of our camping days. —Pamela Shank, Parkersburg, West Virginia
