Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Remove cobs and thyme sprigs and discard. Allow to cool at room temperature for 10-20 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 tsp salt and adjust as needed, remembering that cold foods tend to taste saltier than warm. Using a blender, blend soup in batches until smooth. Pour through a fine mesh sieve, pressing against the sides to extract all the soup. Cover and chill until cool, stirring occasionally.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of crab salad into the centre of shallow serving bowls. Ladle soup around crab salad and drizzle with sour cream, swirling into soup slightly. Serve immediately.
Crab Salad
Gently stir together all ingredients. Cover and keep chilled until ready to use. Can be made up to several hours ahead.
Recipe Notes
Yields a generous 5 cups of soup and will serve 6 as a first course or 4 servings as a main dish. Both the soup and crab salad are best if served slightly chilled but not cold. If both have been completely chilled, allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
In a medium size bowl stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, green onions, capers, celery, dill, parsley, salt and pepper. Gently stir in tuna and white beans.
Spread out 2-3 butter leaf lettuce leaves overlapping each leaf to create a solid surface for the salad. Mound an approximate 1/3 cup of tuna and bean salad onto the center of the lettuce bed. Wrap lettuce around salad, tucking in the ends as you roll, much like a cabbage roll. Cut in half and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Use any white bean that you like here as well as your favourite sprouts or pea shoots for crunch.
Recipe yields a generous 2 cups of tuna and bean salad.
Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl and keep chilled until ready to use.
Kohlrabi Crab Cakes
Trim ends off kohlrabi and peel with a vegetable peeler. Grate using a large grater and add to a separate bowl. Sprinkle with salt and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry with a paper towel. Using the same large grater, peel and grate potato and pat dry with a paper towel. Add to kohlrabi.
In a large bowl stir together egg, dill, dijon mustard, celery salt and pepper. Stir in drained crab meat, prepped and dried grated kohlrabi and potato, bread crumbs, flour and green onions.
Add about 1 tbsp of oil to a large non stick skillet and heat over medium heat until hot. Form approximately 1/4 cup of batter into a 3-4" round patty. Flatten as much as you can while still retaining its shape. Pan fry for 5-6 minutes per side, adjusting heat if necessary. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and keep warm in a low oven while cooking any remaining cakes. Serve immediately with dill sauce.
In a large pot, cover potatoes with 1" of salted water. Simmer until potatoes are just tender, approximately 10-12 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool to the touch. Drain well and chill potatoes until completely cold.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, white wine vinegar, mustard and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Trim bottom off of fennel bulb and pluck off fronds. Cut bulb in half, removing outer layer if needed to clean it up. Cut each half in half again and thinly slice each quarter including stems until you have approximately 1 1/2 cups. Save a few fronds for garnish and coarsely chop remainder.
Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and combine with potatoes, sliced fennel, fennel fronds and green onions. Add dressing and toss to combine. Chill for at least an hour and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fennel fronds and serve.
Preheat oven to 450℉ and set oven rack to the center position. Place a large baking sheet on rack to catch any oil or dripping that may occur. In a medium size bowl whisk together milk and eggs. Add flour, salt and melted butter and continue to whisk until smooth, approximately 1 minute.
Using a mini muffin tin, add 1 tsp of oil to 20 mini cups. Place on prepared baking sheet set on the middle rack for serval minutes to heat oil. Once hot, remove mini muffin pan and quickly scoop 1 tbsp of batter into each of the 20 cups. Place back in oven and bake for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and tilt each mini yorkshire onto its side.
Stuff approximately 10g of warm roast beef into the center of each mini yorkshire (a slit or hole should generate naturally at the top while baking). Pipe or squeeze approximately 1 tsp of horseradish sauce into the same hole. Serve immediately with au jus if desired.
Horseradish Sauce
While yorkshires are baking, whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl. Scoop into a piping bag or squeezable condiment container. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Recipe Notes
I used shaved deli roast beef for this recipe, however left over homemade roast beef, flaked, sliced or shaved is just as good, if not better.
