Blue Corn Fried Chicken With Malt Vinegar Aioli Recipes

COD GOUJONETTES WITH SALT AND MALT VINEGAR AIOLI

Steps:

• Fill the fryer with oil and heat to 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Cut the cod into 1-by-3-inch strips, using a sharp knife.
• Combine the flour, seafood seasoning, baking soda and a pinch salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center and gently pour in the beer. Mix until just combined. Working in batches, coat the fish generously in the batter.
• Fry the fish in batches until golden brown and crispy, turning the fish over to make sure they fry evenly, about 5 minutes. Transfer immediately to paper towels to blot the excess oil. Season with salt while the fish are still very hot.
• Arrange the fish on a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack, and insert a cocktail toothpicks into each piece. Hold in the oven until ready to serve.
• Serve with a small dollop of the Salt and Malt Vinegar Aioli on top of the fried cod.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, parsley and garlic in a medium bowl until combined. Stir in the salt, adding more to taste, if needed. Reserve until ready to use.

BLUE CORN FRIED CHICKEN WITH MALT VINEGAR AIOLI

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the hot sauce, mustard, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken legs in the mixture to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the refrigerator and let the chicken come to room temperature.
• In a deep saute pan with tall sides, over medium-high heat, add the shortening until you have enough to fill halfway up the sides of the pan. Heat the shortening to 325 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a shallow baking dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, poultry seasoning salt, and black pepper. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess and dredge the chicken in the flour and let rest about 5 minutes to let the flour soak in. Dredge again in the flour and fry, in batches, in the shortening until golden brown on both sides. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer the chicken to a rack fitted over a sheet pan and finish the chicken in the oven until internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, heat the malt vinegar over medium heat and simmer to reduce by half. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to cool.
• In a mixing bowl add the yolks, lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons salt. With a large whisk, begin to beat the egg yolks until they begin to get frothy. Slowly add the oil while whisking vigorously until creamy and thick. Gently whisk in the malt vinegar reduction. Taste the aioli, and season with salt, if needed. Serve the aioli alongside the fried chicken.

GRILLED STEAK FRIES WITH MALT VINEGAR AIOLI

Steps:

• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, garlic, mustard, and tarragon and salt and pepper, to taste, in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Put the potatoes in a pot of cold water, add 2 tablespoons of salt and cook the over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, let cool and cut each potato lengthwise into 8 slices.
• Heat a grill to high. Brush the potatoes with the oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste, and grill until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a serving dish and serve with the aioli alongside.
