Categories     Soup/Stew     Milk/Cream     Mushroom     Pork     Potato     Shellfish     Vegetable     Sauté     Stew     Crab     Fall     Winter     Simmer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 ears fresh yellow corn
4 cups low-salt chicken broth
3 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
7 bacon slices, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups finely chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only; about 2 medium)
3/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 3/4 pounds white-skinned potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
6 ounces fresh chanterelle mushrooms, thickly sliced
2 tablespoons dry Sherry
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 pound fresh crabmeat
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Cut kernels off corn cobs. Set kernels aside. Combine cobs, broth, and cream in heavy large saucepan. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and sauté until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons pan drippings; add onion, leeks, celery, and fennel seeds to pot. Sauté until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in potatoes. Discard cobs from cream mixture; strain cream mixture into potato mixture. Simmer until potatoes are almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in corn kernels. Simmer chowder until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in Sherry and thyme. Add mushroom mixture to chowder. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Sauté crabmeat in same large skillet over medium-low heat just until heated through, about 3 minutes. Divide crabmeat, reserved bacon, and parsley among bowls. Ladle chowder over and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure to have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic produce and seafood.
  • Don't overcook the crab: Crab meat is very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Be careful not to cook it for more than a few minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality hollandaise sauce: Hollandaise sauce is a classic accompaniment to crab Rockefeller. Make sure to use a good quality sauce that is made with fresh ingredients.
  • Serve immediately: Crab Rockefeller is best served immediately after it is made. The crab meat will start to toughen up if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Crab Rockefeller is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make, but it does require some time and effort. By following these tips, you can ensure that your crab Rockefeller turns out perfectly. Enjoy!
