Green Onion Blinis With Red Pepper Relish And Goat Cheese Recipes

GOAT CHEESE AND RED ONION FRITTATA SANDWICH CRUNCHIFIED WITH PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the pancetta on a baking sheet, leaving a few inches of space between slices, and sprinkle with pepper. Bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Preheat the broiler. Heat the oil in an 8-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds longer. Season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Whisk in the goat cheese and herbs. Add the egg mixture to the pan with the onions and garlic, and stir just until soft curds begin to form. Sprinkle with some salt. Transfer the pan to the broiler. Broil until the frittata is lightly golden brown and just set, 3 to 5 minutes. Invert onto a platter and let cool slightly or to room temperature, then cut into 4 pieces to fit the rolls.
• Spread some hot pepper relish on the bottoms of the rolls. Top with a piece of frittata, 2 slices of pancetta, some arugula, and the roll tops.

GREEN ONION BLINIS WITH RED PEPPER RELISH AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Turn the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil your bell pepper on all sides. I like to cut mine in half and put them on foil lined baking sheet, cut side down. Bake until skin is blackened and loose. Allow pepper to cool and peel skin. Chop into very small pieces (like pickle relish).
• Whip the soft goat cheese, sour cream and lemon juice in a smooth consistency. Add salt to taste. Set in the refrigerator.
• Heat a nonstick griddle or pan to medium heat. Mix the Simply Potatoes mashed potatoes, flour, egg, baking powder, and sour cream to a smooth consistency. Add enough milk to make a pancake like batter. Mix in the green onions. (No need to salt the batter as Simply Potatoes is already seasoned unless you wish to.) Spoon one tablespoon of batter onto pan, as many as you can handle at one time. When bubbles form then pop, flip the pancake. Cook each side to golden brown.
• To plate your blinis, top with a dollop of goat cheese cream and a small amount of roasted red pepper relish and a sprig of dill. Enjoy!

RED BELL PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Add everything to a small sauce pan and mix until well incorporated.
• Cook the relish on medium heat for 5 minutes and turn down the heat to medium-low(or low) for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has reduced.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving.
• Note:.
• The relish needs to be cooked on a low heat, so stir frequently and reduce time if necessary. This recipe will keep quite awhile in the fridge and you may multiply the recipe and can it if desired.
