CRAB-STUFFED FLOUNDER ROLLS WITH SHRIMP AND COCKLES



Crab-Stuffed Flounder Rolls with Shrimp and Cockles image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small bulb fennel, cored and finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons chopped fronds
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2/3 cup dry white wine
2 28-ounce cans diced tomatoes
1 8-ounce bottle clam juice
1 pound jumbo lump crab meat, picked over
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt
4 large flounder fillets (about 10 ounces each), halved lengthwise, or 8 small flounder fillets (4 to 5 ounces each)
Freshly ground pepper
2 pounds cockles, scrubbed
1 pound rock shrimp

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel bulb and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the oregano and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Increase the heat to medium high, add the wine and cook until it almost completely evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and clam juice and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are tender and the broth is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the crab with the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon fennel fronds and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Season the flounder with salt and pepper. Place a packed 1/4 cup of the crab mixture about 2 inches from the widest end of each fillet and tightly roll the fish around the crab; insert a toothpick or small skewer through the center to secure.
  • Gently nestle the flounder rolls in the simmering tomato broth. Cover and cook until opaque, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the rolls to a rimmed platter with a slotted spoon and remove the toothpicks; tent with foil and set aside.
  • Add the cockles to the simmering tomato broth, cover and cook until they just start opening, about 6 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook until just opaque and the cockles are completely open, about 2 more minutes. (Discard any unopened cockles.) Transfer the cockles, shrimp and broth to the platter with the flounder rolls and top with the remaining 1 tablespoon fennel fronds.

CRISPY CRAB ROLLS



Crispy Crab Rolls image

The secret to these crunchy crab rolls? The dumpling wrapper is made of flattened white bread. Chef Andrew Zimmern calls this "Southern country club meets Southeast Asia." The result: a light and crispy exterior with snowy white crabmeat inside.

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces jumbo lump crab meat, picked over
Freshly ground white pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg yolk, reserve egg white for Crab Rolls, Step 3
Zest of 1 lemon
5 scallions
1/2 cup Thai sweet chile sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
kosher salt
1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons Water
2 large egg whites
1 cup all-purpose flour
9 slices white Wonder Bread, crusts removed

Steps:

  • Crab filling: In medium bowl, combine the crab meat, white pepper, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, mayonnaise, egg yolk (reserving egg white), and lemon zest. Thinly slice the green part of the scallions (reserving the white part) on an angle, and add to the bowl. Stir the ingredients gently to combine, keeping the crab meat chunks as intact as possible.
  • Dipping sauce: In a small bowl, blend the chile sauce, lime juice, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat oil to 375 F. In a large bowl, whisk together cornstarch, water, and 3 egg whites (reserving 2 egg yolks) to make a slurry. In another large bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. Arrange the bread with the short sides facing you. Spread a heaping tablespoon of crab mixture across the middle of each slice, leaving a ½-inch border at both sides. Use your finger to spread some of the reserved egg yolk along the top and bottom of the flattened bread. Roll and tuck the bread around the crab; press to seal the rolls. Let the rolls rest seam-side down for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg white mixture again to recombine any cornstarch that may have settled to the bottom. Dip each crab roll into the mixture, then dredge in the flour. Carefully transfer the rolls to the oil and fry in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the crab rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Finely slice the white part of a scallion and garnish the chili sauce. Slice the crab rolls in half and serve with the chile sauce.

Yield Makes 10 hors d'oeuvre servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 oz dried wood ear mushrooms (about 2)
6 oz ground fatty pork (from shoulder)
1/4 lb jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
1 whole large egg, lightly beaten, plus 1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten separately
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 scallion, finely chopped
2 small garlic cloves, finely chopped
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
30 Vietnamese rice-paper wedges*
About 6 cups peanut or vegetable oil
Accompaniment: nuoc cham dipping sauce .
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Cover mushrooms with hot water by 1 inch in a bowl and soak 20 minutes (mushrooms will expand). Drain in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse thoroughly, then drain again. Trim off and discard any hard parts from mushrooms, then finely chop. (You should have about 3 tablespoons.)
  • Stir together mushrooms, pork, crabmeat, beaten whole egg, cilantro, ginger, scallion, garlic, and salt in a bowl until combined well.
  • Line a tray with wax paper. Put a double thickness of paper towels on a work surface and fill a shallow baking pan with warm water. Discard any rice-paper wedges with holes. Soak 1 wedge in warm water until pliable, 30 seconds to 1 minute, then carefully transfer to paper towels, arranging it with curved side of wedge nearest you.
  • Put 1 tablespoon filling in middle of curved side about 1/2 inch from edge and shape filling horizontally into a 2 3/4-inch log. Fold left and right corners of wedge over filling, overlapping slightly and aligning bottom edges. (Wedge will resemble an open envelope.)
  • Dab top corner with some yolk, then tightly roll up wedge away from you, making sure ends stay tucked inside. (Be sure to roll up wedges tightly or air pockets will prevent rolls from browning evenly when fried.) Put roll, seam side down, on tray and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Make more rolls in same manner, transferring to tray and arranging 1/2 inch apart. Keep loosely covered until ready to fry.
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a 5- to 6-quart pot over moderately high heat until it registers 365°F on thermometer. Fry rolls in batches of 5 or 6, keeping rolls apart during first minute of frying to prevent sticking and stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer as fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 365��F between batches.)

Crab-and-Shrimp Spring Rolls in Rice Paper image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup fresh snow peas, strung
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
3/4 pound cooked medium shrimp, shelled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
6 ounces lump crab meat, picked over to remove cartilage
1 cup cooked sticky (glutinous) rice
1 medium-size jalapeno pepper, stemmed and minced (with seeds)
1 medium-size clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 package 6 1/2-inch round rice paper
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup nuoc mam
1/2 cup sherry vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 cups mesclun
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • To make the spring rolls, blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain well and cut into fine julienne strips.
  • Blanch the carrot in boiling water for 15 seconds, drain and refresh under cold running water.
  • Place the snow peas, carrots, shrimp, crab meat, rice, jalapeno, garlic and ginger in a large bowl and toss. Add the lemon zest and juice and salt and toss to combine.
  • Lay a large, clean cotton cloth or apron on a work surface. You will need 16 sheets of rice paper; discard any sheets that are cracked or have holes. Dip 1 sheet of rice paper in a bowl of warm water until it is pliable, about 15 seconds. Place on the cloth. Repeat with 3 more sheets of rice paper.
  • Start with the first sheet of soaked rice paper and place 1/4 cup of the filling in a mound in the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then the ends, making a square package. Place the spring roll on a platter or in a shallow baking dish. Repeat until the filling is used. Cover with a damp cloth until ready to serve.
  • To make the sauce, combine the sugar, nuoc mam, vinegar and water in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir just until the sugar dissolves. Pour into a bowl and set aside at room temperature. (The rolls and sauce can be made several hours ahead.)
  • To serve, spoon enough sauce onto 8 salad plates to cover just the bottom of the plate. Place 2 spring rolls in the center of each plate, turning them once in the sauce. Surround with the mesclun and then the mint leaves. Serve.

Yield Makes about 60 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 firm-ripe mango
1 pound jumbo lump crab meat
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons wasabi powder* or wasabi paste*
ten 8 x 7 1/2-inch sheets toasted nori*
1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
*available at Asian markets and some specialty foods shops and supermarkets

Steps:

  • Cut skin from mango and cut flesh into julienne strips. Pick over crab meat to remove any bits of cartilage and shell and in a bowl stir together with lime juice, brown sugar, and salt to taste. If using wasabi powder, in a small bowl stir together with 2 teaspoons water and let stand, covered, 10 minutes to make wasabi paste.
  • Cut nori sheets in half lengthwise. On a work surface put a sushi mat (see above note) with bamboo strips of mat parallel to front of work surface. (Alternatively, use a 9-inch square of heavy-duty foil as a mat.) Put 1 nori piece on mat with a short side lined up with edge of mat that is closest to you. Spread 1/4 teaspoon wasabi paste across bottom edge of nori and top with 5 or 6 mint leaves so that some stick out on each side. Top mint leaves evenly with a heaping tablespoon crab mixture and 2 or 3 mango strips. Beginning with a short side and using mat as a guide, roll up nori tightly (use mat to help tighten roll). Seal seam with a little water and with a sharp knife cut roll crosswise into 3 pieces. Make more rolls in same manner. Nori rolls may be made 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls are stuffed with crab, cream cheese, green onions and the perfect blend of spices mimicking the classic crab rangoons with an extra large helping of the best part.

Categories     Seafood Appetizers

Time 16m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (8 ounce) boxes cream cheese softened
1 Tbsp tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
3 green onions chopped
1/2 lb fresh white cooked crabmeat flaked or diced
8 egg roll wrappers
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. In food processor pulse cream cheese Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and green onions several times until mixed. Stir in crab meat.
  • 2. Lay one egg roll wrapper out with a corner pointing towards you. Place about three rounded tablespoons in the center of each wrapper making a short horizontal lump . Bring the corner that is closest to you up and over and gently tuck it in. Fold in the sides and roll the wrapper tightly. Use a small amount of water to secure the tip of the wrapper. (If you don't know how to roll an egg roll it usually shows on the package with pictures).
  • 3. Heat oil in heavy stockpot or saucepan to 375 degrees. Fry them 2-3 at a time (depending on the size of your pan) for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow the heat to charge back up in between batches. Place on paper towels to drain. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your crab rolls.
  • Don't overcook the crab: Crab meat is delicate and cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: You don't want to overpower the delicate flavor of the crab.
  • Add some crunchy vegetables: This will add texture and freshness to the rolls.
  • Serve the rolls immediately: Crab rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Crab rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
