The Fork & Fin® Dill Pickle and Bacon Lettuce Boats
25 minutes 4-6 servings
Lettuce boats are a fantastic vehicle for serving appetizers…especially if you can get baby lettuce leaves to hold the goods. Load the leaves up with an easy honey-blue cheese dressing, bacon bits, freshly cooked Dill Pickle fish and a scattering of scallions. Your guests will be very happy with this mashup app.
Ingredients
12 pieces The Fork & Fin® Food Truck Breaded Appetizers Dill Pickle Style
5-6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 each scallion, julienned
1 each small garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup plain sour cream or yogurt
1 cup crumbled blue cheese, divided in half
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 each baby romaine or Little Gem lettuce
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Spread the Dill Pickle fish on a baking sheet and cook until crisp and brown about 17-18 minutes, turning halfway through.
At the same time, cook the bacon in another baking sheet until browned and crisp, about 15-17 minutes. Remove to toweling and set aside.
Put the scallion in a small bowl of ice water and set aside.
On a cutting board, chop the garlic with the salt until it becomes a paste. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sour cream or yogurt, half the blue cheese, lemon juice, honey and black pepper.
To assemble, spread the lettuce leaves on a platter, dollop about 1 tablespoon of the sauce on each and add the fish. Sprinkle with bacon and remaining blue cheese. Drain the scallions, sprinkle on top and serve.
