Fish and Crab Cakes

The following fish and crab cakes are quick and easy to make, and will delight even those who are not that much into fish, as mixing flounder fish with crabmeat, creates a unique texture and flavor.
To keep things simple, and in order not to mask the flavor of fish and crabmeat, I added only parsley and scallions as flavoring ingredients. They added a nice green color and fresh aroma to the mixture.
The cakes hardly absorbed oil while frying, making them light and perfect for a hot summer day lunch, with a green salad on the side. Try them and enjoy.

Notes:
* I used individually frozen fillets of Flounder, which is a flat fish with a firm texture. Any similar fish can can be used instead.

Makes: 12
Prep time: 15 minutes
Frying time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless flounder fillets, about 6.5oz (180 grams) (see notes)
1 can (6 oz/170 grams) crabmeat, drained
5 scallions, roughly chopped
½ cup packed parsley leaves
1 slice white bread (I used sourdough), crust removed
1 L egg
¼ cup bread crumbs
2 tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground four peppers mix
Oil for frying
Fresh parsley, lime and lemon wedges for serving

1. Pat dry the fish fillets and cut into large chunks. Drain the crab meat.
2. Place the scallions, parsley and cut fish in a food processor bowl, fitted with the metal blade, and chop to a fairly coarse texture.
3. Transfer to a bowl and add the egg, crabmeat, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Mix, cover and let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes. Form 12 small patties from the mixture.

4. In a large pan, heat oil for shallow frying over medium-high heat. Fry the patties until they brown on both sides. Serve warm, with lemon and lime wedges on the side.

Pickled Mini Eggplants with Celery and Herbs

Finding these beautiful mini eggplants at the market, my first thought was to prepare my dish of mini eggplants stuffed with lamb (click HERE for the recipe). However, on second thought, I decided to go with a lighter direction, and use them to make quick pickles with fresh herbs.

Vietnamese Sandwich with Braised Pork Belly

Bánh mì (“bread” in Vietnamese”) sandwich is fusion at its best, as it combines Vietnamese-Asian flavors with French ones. It became a popular street food in Saigon around the 50’s, and from there its popularity spread around the world.

Chicken Salad with Grapes, Tarragon, Mint and Walnuts

Chicken salad is a great dish for buffet-style relaxed entertaining. It can be prepared ahead of time, and tastes even better after chilling. It is easy to serve, and it pairs well with different dishes and salads.

Beef Kebabs with Zhoug and Harissa Raw Onion Relish

Zhoug is an aromatic Yemenite hot pepper and cilantro paste, which is known all over the Middle East and the Mediterranean. It is mostly used as a condiment, but it is also added to soups and other dishes. In the dish here, I’ve decided to use it to flavor a raw onion relish, along with sweet Harrisa, a spiced North African hot peppers paste, which was served with broiled beef kebabs.

Filo Bake with Spinach, Mint and Cheeses

This tasty dish was inspired by the two others: the Greek Spanakopita, (layers of filo brushed with oil, with greens with Feta cheese filling), and the Bulgarian Banitsa dish (in which the filo sheets are rolled with feta, yogurt and eggs mixture).

Shrimps, Flowering Chives and Rice Flour Fritters

When I saw a bunch of flowering chives at the store, it immediately drew my attention. Smelling the flowers, I was expecting, probably due to their lavender color, that they would have a sweet floral smell. However, to my surprise, they had fresh onion scent, similar to that of the chives. I later learned that the flowers are edible and can be used in the same way chives is used.

King Oyster Mushrooms with Soy Sauce, Maple Syrup and Sesame Oil

King oyster mushrooms (also known as king trumpet mushrooms, and by other names), are large mushrooms, with plump white leg and brown cap. Unlike most mushrooms, the cap is not separated from the leg, and the leg is actually the tastier part. It has a somewhat meaty texture, often compared to abalone, or scallops, and it keeps its shape and size when cooked. Though the mushrooms are native to the Mediterranean, they are more known in Asian cuisines, especially Japanese.

Chicken, Corn and Shishito peppers Patties

Fresh corn is one of my favorite vegetables, and now that the season has started, I once again use it on its’ own, or mixed with different ingredients, to create new dishes. The following chicken patties are one example of the later.

A Few Dishes with Dandelion Greens

Dandelion is known mostly as a seasonal plant, of which all its parts have been used in cooking and traditional medicine from ancient times. To many who are unfamiliar with the plant, the greens are many times considered an invasive weed in fields and gardens, but they are in fact edible and highly nutritious. As I’m not a gardener myself, nor a forager of wild greens, I’ve never tried them, until I recently found them at the store, and decided to buy a bunch.

Sephardic Fresh Fava Beans with Onions and Mint

Unlike green/string beans, fava beans are more familiar to most in their dried form. They are also called broad beans for a reason, as they are substantially broader and bigger than green beans.
