COLLARD GREENS AND CORNMEAL DUMPLINGS



Collard Greens and Cornmeal Dumplings image

Collard greens are a common dish in many African American households, and are especially important during New Year's celebrations. In folklore, the greens represent dollar bills, and the more you eat, the more money you'll have in the new year. In this version, adapted from "Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking," by Toni Tipton-Martin, cornmeal dumplings simmer with the greens in a smoky stock. The dough is made using that rich potlikker and then added towards the end of cooking so the dumplings don't become soggy. This combination of greens and dumplings parallels the West African pairing of soups and stews with fufu, an accompaniment traditionally made from pounded yam, cassava or other starch. This is delicious on its own, but even better with black-eyed peas and rice.

Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 smoked ham hocks or 2 smoked turkey wings
2 medium onions, quartered
4 celery stalks, including leaves, halved
2 carrots, scrubbed and quartered
2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 dried bay leaves
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large bunch (1 pound) collard greens
2 small dried red chiles or 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups coarsely ground cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Make the stock: In a large heavy stockpot, bring 3 quarts water, the smoked meat, onions, celery, carrots, garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and simmer, partially covered, until the flavors are well blended, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the meat from the broth. When cool enough to handle, pull the meat off the bones (discard the skin, fat, and bones). Chop the meat and reserve for another use. (The meat can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the stock into a container. Refrigerate the stock until the fat floats to the top or skim the fat using a fat separator or spoon to use immediately. For chilled stock, use a slotted spoon to skim off the fat and discard. Pour out 6 cups stock to use; reserve the rest for another use in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
  • Make the collards: In a medium saucepan, bring the 6 cups stock, the onion and garlic to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, cover and simmer while preparing the greens.
  • Thoroughly wash the collards and trim away the stems, if desired. Discard the stems or coarsely chop. Stack 2 or 3 leaves on a cutting board and roll tightly into a log. Slice the greens crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide ribbons. Place the greens and stems, if using, and the chiles in the broth and return to a simmer. Cook, covered, about 1 1/2 hours for very tender greens; you may cook them for less time if you have young greens or prefer greens with more chew. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • About half an hour before the collards are done, prepare the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Spoon out 1/2 cup of the potlikker from the collards and add to the butter. Remove from the heat and stir it into the dry ingredients, adding more potlikker 1 tablespoon at a time if needed for the dough to come together into a mass. Let stand 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, use wet fingertips to shape the dough into 6 round dumplings.
  • During the last 15 minutes of the collards' cooking time, carefully drop the cornmeal dumplings into the pot with the greens, making sure the dumplings are submerged in the potlikker. Cover the pot and simmer until the dumplings are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve the greens and dumplings in bowls with plenty of potlikker.

BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL GALETTE



Blueberry Cornmeal Galette image

I like making pie just as much as the next guy likes making pie, but I like making a galette even more. They're more fun, and I like the freedom that the rustic appearance affords. But mostly, I think I just enjoy the higher crust to fruit ratio. Serve with ice cream.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Blueberry Desserts

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
½ teaspoon fine salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
6 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
1 pound fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon water
1 tablespoon demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Combine flour, cornmeal, and salt in a bowl with a pastry blender. Add cold butter and combine with the pastry blender until coarse crumbs form. Drizzle in cold water, a little at a time, stirring to combine with a fork, until dough comes together.
  • Turn dough onto a work surface and bring together with your hands; press into a disk of dough.
  • Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat.
  • Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch in a bowl.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll on a lightly floured work surface into a 15-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Place blueberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving 3 to 4 inches of space around the border of dough. Fold dough up and around the berries, rotating a few inches and make another fold, overlapping the first; repeat around the dough until pleats are formed.
  • Combine beaten egg and water in a small bowl and brush on the dough. Sprinkle on demerara sugar.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden, about 45 minutes.

CHICKEN WITH CORNMEAL DUMPLINGS



Chicken with Cornmeal Dumplings image

SECRET INGREDIENT Beer flavors this robust chicken and vegetable stew. Any light-or medium-colored lager will do, but pilsner-with its pronounced taste of hops-works best.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 5), cut into 1-inch pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 bunch scallions, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 bottles (12 ounces each) pilsner or another light- or medium-bodied lager
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes (with their juice)
1 to 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
Cornmeal Dumpling Dough (recipe follows)

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. Pat dry chicken and season with salt and pepper. Add to pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a medium bowl.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the scallions, bell pepper, celery, and carrots to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions and celery are soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in thyme and flour and season with salt and pepper; cook 1 minute. Whisk in beer and return chicken to pot. With your hands, roughly tear tomatoes and add to pot along with their juices. Bring to a rapid simmer and cook, uncovered, 30 minutes. Season to taste with vinegar.
  • Reduce to a medium simmer and drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls on top of stew. Cover and simmer until dumplings are cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
