    Cajun Fish Sandwiches With Crunchy Slaw

    How to Make Cajun Fish Sandwiches With Crunchy Slaw

    Cookbook author and meal planning expert Aviva Goldfarb loves quick, easy meals. “These sandwiches, suggested by longtime Six O’Clock Scramble member Molly Thompson, are fun to make and even more fun to eat,” she says. “If you are really short on time buy pre-made coleslaw. These go great with lightly buttered corn.”

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a medium serving bowl, combine the slaw, mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Set it aside. (If possible, make this up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate it until you are ready to serve. Mix it well before serving.)
    2. In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the flour and Cajun or Old Bay seasoning. In another shallow bowl, beat the egg.
    3. In a large heavy skillet (a cast iron pan works great for this), heat the butter and oil over medium heat until it is bubbling.
    4. Dip the fish pieces in the flour mixture to coat them. Dip them in the egg, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Dip them back into the flour mixture to recoat. Cook the fish until it is nicely browned and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove the fish to a plate.
    5. Toast the buns. Serve the fish inside the buns and topped with the slaw.
    6. FLAVOR BOOSTER Serve the sandwiches topped with barbecue sauce or your favorite sandwich spread. Finely grate 1/4 onion into the coleslaw.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a large nonstick pan heat olive oil and sauté onions, peppers, garlic, and spices. Sauté for 3 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
    2. Add black beans with liquid and sauté with vegetables for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add breadcrumbs, cornmeal, lime juice, and salt. Remove 1 cup of bean mixture and purée in a blender or food processor until a coarse purée is formed. Fold the purée back into the bean mixture. Add the cheddar cheese and cilantro, combine well. Mixture should resemble a coarse paste and be stiff enough to hold up in a scoop or spoon.
    3. With an ice cream scoop or spoon, form 3-4 ounce portions. Sprinkle a plate with cornmeal and place scooped black bean portions on plate. Lightly dust black bean mixture with cornmeal and press down gently, forming a patty.
    4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a large nonstick pan with vegetable oil. Brown patty cakes for 2 minutes on each side. If pan is ovenproof, transfer to oven and bake for 15 minutes or until heated through. Or transfer patty cakes to a cookie sheet pan and bake.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper. If using parchment paper, coat generously with cooking spray. Set aside.
    2. In a food processor or blender, add garlic, onion, curry powder, cayenne pepper, cilantro, parsley and olive oil. Blend into a paste.
    3. Add in garbanzo beans and pulse to chop beans and mix into onion paste. Do not blend the beans into a paste. The falafel should be slightly chunky.

    7. Spray the falafel balls with cooking spray and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
    8. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 15 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350 and move the baking sheet to the top rack. Bake an additional 15 minutes.
