GRILLED PORGY WITH LEMONS AND SCALLIONS



Grilled Porgy With Lemons and Scallions image

Porgy is a fish that takes beautifully to grilling whole, filled with aromatic ingredients. Here, Ayesha Nurdjaja, the chef of Shuka in New York City, stuffs the fish with lemon and herbs. When lightly charred, the skin of the fish becomes crispy and delicious. One way to guarantee that your fish will lift easily off the grill is to have clean, well-oiled grates, and if you're willing to sacrifice a couple of extra bunches of scallions, lay them on the grill, then put the fish on top. The scallions will burn away, but the fish will release. Fennel fronds work the same way. Ms. Nurdjaja tops the fish with a lightly-dressed arugula salad - but it's just as delicious on its own.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 lemons
4 whole porgies (1 1/2 pounds each), boned and gutted (see Tips)
Salt
8 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh oregano
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill grates
2 bunches scallions, trimmed

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal grill until coals are ashed over and hot, or heat a charcoal grill to high. Or heat a broiler (see Tips).
  • Cut 3 lemons into ½-inch-thick slices and discard any pits. Pat fish dry inside and out and season inside with salt. Place the lemon slices inside the fish, then place the thyme and oregano on top of the lemon. If the fish don't close around the stuffing, tie fish closed in two places with kitchen twine. Brush fish on both sides with 4 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Toss scallions with a pinch of salt and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cut the 2 remaining lemons in half, removing any seeds.
  • Scrub the grill grate clean, then rub with an oiled kitchen towel or wad of paper towels. If your grill can fit everything, place everything on at once. Otherwise, start with the scallions and lemons, cut sides down. Season one side of each fish with salt and place salt side down on the grates next to the scallions and lemons. Grill (covered if using a gas grill), turning once, until the lemons and scallions are softened and lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes for the scallions and 5 minutes for the lemons. Grill the fish until the skin releases naturally from the grate, about 6 minutes, then salt the other side, cover and grill until cooked through, about 6 minutes longer. Test for doneness by slipping a paring knife into the center of the fish; it should feel hot when carefully touched to your lower lip or the inside of your wrist.
  • Spread scallions on a serving platter and set lemon halves around the sides. Transfer the fish to the platter, remove the string and serve.

CHARRED SCALLION DIP WITH LEMON AND HERBS



Charred Scallion Dip With Lemon and Herbs image

This creamy scallion dip could be the cooler cousin of ranch dressing or sour cream and onion dip. Grilled scallions add smokiness, while fresh chives and raw scallions lend brightness to the tangy, herb-flecked dip. If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can broil the scallions in your oven. Once assembled, the dip benefits from chilling to round out the flavors. At least an hour works, but it's better after a day. It needs nothing more than potato chips alongside, but it's also great with crudités, crackers, grilled vegetables, fried chicken or slathered on sandwiches.

Categories     easy, snack, barbecues, dips and spreads, appetizer, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 scallions, roots and tops trimmed
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil or other neutral oil
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or a grill pan over high.
  • As pan heats up, prepare the scallion-herb mixture: Halve 2 scallions lengthwise, then slice very thinly crosswise. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in chives and dill, if using. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • On a baking sheet, toss remaining 10 scallions with the canola oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Working in batches if necessary, grill the scallions over high heat, turning occasionally, until deeply grill-marked and slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
  • While the scallions cool, add the sour cream, cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, onion and garlic powders, and sugar to the medium bowl with the scallion-herb mixture.
  • Thinly slice the grilled scallions, then add to the sour cream mixture and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or ideally 1 day. (The flavor will deepen as it sits.) To serve, drizzle with olive oil. Serve with potato chips for dipping.

  • Trim the scallions: Cut off the root ends and any tough or wilted leaves.
  • Wash the scallions thoroughly: Rinse the scallions under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Pat the scallions dry: Use a paper towel to pat the scallions dry before grilling.
  • Use a high-heat grill: Grilled scallions get their best flavor when cooked over high heat. If you're using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they're white-hot.

  • Season the scallions with salt and pepper: Once the scallions are cooked, season them with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the scallions immediately: Grilled scallions are best served hot off the grill. They can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or even as a garnish.
