Provided by Aaron McCargo Jr.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Peanut oil, for frying
2/3 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
2/3 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons minced chives
2 eggs, beaten
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups minced serrano ham
1 onion, finely chopped
Manchego Cheese Sauce, recipe follows, for dipping
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced
2 jalapenos, minced and seeded
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
1 cup shredded Manchego cheese
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl add the flour, smoked paprika and chicken stock and chives. Whisk well to form a thick batter. Stir in the 2 beaten eggs and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and fry the minced ham and onion until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Allow the ham and onion to cool in the pan. Once cooled, add ham mixture along with any oil to the batter. Season the batter with more salt and pepper. In batches and using a small scoop or a large tablespoon, drop 5 or 6 scoops of batter into the oil and fry until well browned, turning once, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on brown paper or paper towels and repeat with the remaining batter. Transfer the fritters to a serving platter and serve with Manchego Cheese Sauce on the side.
  • For Cheese Sauce:
  • Heat the olive oil in small saucepan, then add the shallots, jalapeno, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 4 minutes to soften the shallots. Add the flour and mix to form a roux. Stir in the milk and bouillon, whisking well to blend. Whisk in the cheese and combine well. Reduce the heat to low and add smoked paprika and sour cream. Whisk to combine and serve warm with fritters.

HAM AND MANCHEGO PANINI WITH DIPPING SAUCE



Ham and Manchego Panini With Dipping Sauce image

Found this in a magazine article about the Spanish cheese, Manchego and am posting for ZWT. I loved this new cheese, BF wasn't so sure but he isn't the cheese freak that I am. I don't have a panini press so I use my cast iron grill pan which works great.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

All-purpose flour, for dusting
One 1-pound ball pizza dough, at room temperature
1/2 pound heirloom tomatoes
Arbequina olive oil, for drizzling
Sea salt, for sprinkling
6 ounces shaved Serrano ham
4 ounces manchego cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough on top. Dust your hands as well and begin to stretch your dough, working in a circle. Stretch the dough until it is 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough on the grill and cook until charred on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
  • Clean and remove the stem ends of the tomatoes. Place them in a food processor and pulse to break them up. Strain the tomato pulp through a large fine-mesh strainer to remove some of the liquid.
  • Spread the tomato pulp over the top of the cooked pizza dough. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with sea salt. Top with the Serrano ham and manchego cheese. Drizzle more olive oil over the top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for a creamy Manchego cheese, a flavorful ham, and a crusty baguette.
  • Don't overcrowd the panini press. If you're using a small press, cook the sandwiches in batches.
  • Cook the sandwiches until the cheese is melted and gooey, and the bread is golden brown.
  • Serve the paninis immediately with the dipping sauce. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a vegetarian version of this panini, try replacing the ham with roasted red peppers or portobello mushrooms.

Conclusion:

The Ham Manchego Panini with Dipping Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. The combination of creamy Manchego cheese, flavorful ham, and crusty baguette is sure to please everyone. The dipping sauce adds an extra layer of flavor and richness to the sandwich.
