GMA viewers saw a mix of seasonal cooking and shopping content when chef Michael Symon joined Good Morning America to demonstrate spring dishes, and the gma deals and steals page presented a wide set of brand discounts for shoppers.
On Good Morning America, Symon demonstrated two spring recipes anchored by fresh peas and bright citrus. He prepared Beef Keftedes With Fresh Pea Lemon Yogurt Spread that yields 20 pieces and lists a 30 minute prep time with 20 minutes cook time for a total of one hour. The recipe pairs meatballs made from 1 pound ground beef or lamb, a soaked 1/2 cup diced bread, one large egg and seasonings including dried oregano, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground cinnamon and grated nutmeg. The accompanying spread blends 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt with 1 cup fresh English peas and 1/4 cup heavy cream, plus lemon zest and juice. Symon instructed whisking the yogurt and cream until smooth and fluffy for about four to five minutes, boiling peas five to seven minutes then pureeing and folding them into the whipped yogurt. He recommended frying the lightly floured keftedes in canola oil until golden and finishing the platter with pea shoots, lemon wedges and an olive oil drizzle.
Later on the same program Symon showcased Whipped Ricotta With Grilled Asparagus And Crostini as a spring appetizer. That recipe calls for eight ounces full fat ricotta whisked with olive oil and lemon, asparagus tossed with oil, thyme and lemon then grilled three to five minutes, and thick sliced sourdough brushed with oil and warmed on the grill. The segment was presented as a cooking demonstration on GMA3 and included serving notes such as topping the whipped ricotta with chili flakes and extra lemon.
