Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 ounces unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
16 ounces cooked lobster meat
4 ounces cooked snow crabmeat
2 ounces Cognac
2 ounces ricotta
Salt
Pepper
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Pasta Dough, recipe follows
Egg white, slightly beaten
2 ounces unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
4 ounces whole chunk Maryland crabmeat
2 ounces Cognac
5 ounces tomato sauce
10 ounces heavy cream
Salt
8 ounces durum flour
8 ounces semolina
1 egg
Water, as needed
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • For the Lobster Ravioli: In a large saute pan, add the butter and melt. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until golden brown. Add lobster, crab, and chives and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Add Cognac and reduce for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes, until room temperature. Chop lobster mixture into small chunks. In a large bowl, combine lobster mixture and ricotta and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay out the first piece of Pasta Dough on the table and place 1/4-ounce mounds of stuffing 2 inches apart. Using a pastry brush, brush egg white around each bit of stuffing, making the dough damp not wet. Take the second piece and cover the bottom piece with the stuffing. Press around each ravioli being careful not to squeeze the stuffing out. Using a round ravioli cutter, cut each ravioli round and put on a sheet pan sprinkled with semolina. Gently place ravioli in boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.
  • For the sauce: Using a 12-inch saute pan at medium heat, add butter, shallots, and saute until shallots are translucent. Add the crabmeat and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the saute pan from the burner and add Cognac then place pan back on the heat to cook off the alcohol. (Please beware: the Cognac will create a large flame.) Once the flame stops, add the tomato sauce and cream with salt and cook until it reduces half way and becomes creamy. Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and let cook together for about 1 minute before serving. Garnish with chives.
  • Add all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl until all ingredients are blended. Place mixture on countertop and knead until the texture is smooth and well mixed. Separate the pasta dough into 2 equal pieces and put one piece aside. Flour the first piece, just enough to prevent sticking and roll out with a rolling pin to about 1/8th-inch thick. Repeat procedure with second piece making it as close to the shape as the first.

Oven Baked Crabmeat Stuffed Sole with Meuniere Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

v1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup lump crabmeat, picked through for shells and cartilage
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus 2 tablespoons
Salt and white pepper
4 (5 to 6 ounce) sole fillets
2 tablespoons plus 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1 tablespoon minced celery

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper, green onion, celery, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. In a medium bowl, combine cooled vegetables, crabmeat, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Season crab mixture with salt and white pepper, to taste.
  • Season sole fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Spoon crabmeat mixture down the center of the fillets and roll lengthwise into bundles. Using toothpicks, secure the ends so that the fillets won't unwrap during baking. Place sole fillet bundles, seam-side down, in a lightly greased 9-inch square baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

Cook for 2 minutes until slightly reduced. Add the cream and cook, whisking, for 15 seconds. Season with salt and cayenne. Turn heat down to low and whisk in the remaining butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has been completely incorporated. Continue until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Immediately remove the pan from the heat to prevent the sauce from getting too hot and breaking.
  • Pour warm meuniere sauce over crabmeat stuffed sole and serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS SOUP WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE AND LUMP CRABMEAT RECIPE - (1/5)



Asparagus Soup with Red Pepper Sauce and Lump Crabmeat Recipe - (1/5) image

Provided by xarsis

Number Of Ingredients 23

Soup:
2 1/4 pounds fresh thin asparagus, tough ends discarded
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
Red Pepper Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 pound lump crabmeat, garnish
Red Pepper Sauce:
1 red bell pepper, about 8 ounces
4 1/2 teaspoons minced shallots
5 fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
2 fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/8 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut 16 tips from the tops of the asparagus and reserve for garnish. Cut the remaining asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces. In a medium sized, heavy pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the asparagus, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and white wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the asparagus are very tender, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus tips and blanch until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and refresh in an ice bath. Add the cream to the soup and bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer the soup in batches to a blender and process on high speed until very smooth. Remove from the heat and ladle into 4 large soup bowls. Swirl the Red Pepper Sauce in a decorative pattern over the soup in each bowl. Spoon 1 tablespoon of crabmeat into the center and arrange the blanched tips around the crabmeat. Serve immediately. Red Pepper Sauce: Roast the peppers by placing them on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, the peppers can be roasted under a broiler, or on top of a gas or charcoal grill.) Place the blackened peppers in a plastic or paper bag, and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, remove the seeds and stems and roughly chop. Combine the peppers, shallots, cilantro, basil, garlic, crushed red pepper, vinegar, salt, and pepper in the bowl of food processor or blender, and process for 20 seconds. With the machine running, add the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream and process until thick and smooth. Drizzle into the Asparagus Soup, and transfer any remaining into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Yield: about 3/4 cup

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh crab meat that has been recently cooked or purchased from a reputable seafood market. Avoid using canned or frozen crab meat, as it may have a less desirable taste and texture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your crab meat sauce. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms. You can also add leafy greens like spinach or kale for a nutritious boost.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season your crab meat sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Crab meat sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store it, let it cool completely before refrigerating it for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce gently over low heat until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Crab meat sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for topping pasta, fish, or chicken, and it can also be used as a dip for vegetables or crackers. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, crab meat sauce is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crab meat sauce a try!
