Steve Corry’s Delicious Maine Recipes

MENU: Steve Corry’s Delicious Maine Recipes

All talented chefs rely on high-quality ingredients from top purveyors, but Portland chef Steve Corry has found the perfect source in neighbor and friend Taylor Griffin, who imports some of the world’s most extraordinary ingredients. The resulting recipes show just how thrilling and satisfying the combination of native and imported foods can be.

Roasted Branzino with Caper Butter
When cooking a fish whole, the bones protect the delicate meat from extreme heat and provide wonderful flavor, resulting in moist, perfectly cooked fish.

Meyer Lemon Gnocchi
For supertender gnocchi, be careful not to overwork the dough.

Beet Salad with Candied Marcona Almonds
To help mellow the tang of the complex sherry vinegar, chef Steve Corry reduces tangerine juice to a syrup and adds it to the dressing.

Mussel and Chorizo Soup
This soup has a rich, smoky quality thanks to thick-cut ibérico chorizo from Spain’s Castilla y León region.

Kale with Roasted Onion Rings
Finish the dish with a drizzle of good-quality imported Spanish olive oil.

Polenta Cake with Grilled Rhubarb Jam and Mascarpone
To make this fluffy, pleasantly coarse cake extra moist, soak it in a syrup made with orange blossom honey
