Tips:
- To make the perfect duxelles, use a food processor to finely chop the mushrooms and shallots. This will help to create a smooth and even texture.
- When sautéing the duxelles, be sure to cook it over medium heat until all of the moisture has evaporated. This will help to concentrate the flavors and give the duxelles a rich, umami taste.
- To make the perfect puff pastry, use a good quality butter that is cold and firm. This will help to create flaky layers in the pastry.
- When assembling the crab en croute, be sure to brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash before baking. This will help to seal the pastry and prevent it from drying out.
- To make the perfect top matignon vegetables, use fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will help to ensure that the vegetables are flavorful and tender.
- When making the bay shrimp blanc, be sure to use a good quality white wine. This will help to add flavor and complexity to the sauce.
