Ingredients

Spoonbread

-----------------

3 cups water

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup buttermilk

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 cup cornmeal

3 large eggs

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

Salt, to taste

¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Hot sauce, to taste

White pepper, to taste

4 thin slices smoked ham, each cut into 3 strips

-----------------------------------

Spicy Greens See below.

--------------------------------------

Sauteed Shrimp See below.

-------------------------------------------

Combine water, cream and buttermilk in large, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat and stir in cornmeal, simmering for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.

Transfer mixture to stand mixer fitted with paddle. Beat at medium speed until mixture has cooled to lukewarm. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt and grated Parmesan cheese.

------------------------------------

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly butter muffin tin with 12 wells. Place strip of ham in each well, then spoon batter until nearly level with top. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

---------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, prepare spicy greens, mushrooms and — when spoonbread has been removed from oven — the shrimp.

To serve, spoon some creamed greens on center of plate, allowing it to pool. Top with spoonbread and sautéed shrimp and mushrooms. Drizzle with remaining cream sauce.

--------------------------------------

Shrimp and Chanterelles

--------------------------------------

2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup coarsely chopped chanterelles or other mushrooms

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Salt and pepper, to taste

Substitute smokey cheese for the ham and go vegetarian.

I did it, I did it! It was absolutely and totally WOW. A definite contender for the title of Most Awesome Recipe I've Ever Cooked. My father-in-law ate with us and said he had never eaten spinach before, but he ate two helpings, just like we did. Completely fantastic!
