Categories     Milk/Cream     Bake     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Lobster     Sherry     Winter

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Lobster Cream Sauce:
4 cups cooked lobster meat, cut in chunks (from four 1 1/4-pound lobsters)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup medium-dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crumb Topping:
1 1/2 cups crushed Ritz cracker crumbs (about 1 sleeve of crackers)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Divide the lobster meat into four shallow 8-ounce ramekins or gratin dishes, or place in a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until bubbly, about 1 minute. Add the cream and sherry, bring just to the boil, and cook, whisking, until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Season with the paprika and with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the lobster in the dishes. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • For the topping, toss the cracker crumbs with the melted butter and paprika until well mixed. (The pies and topping can be made up to several hours ahead to this point and refrigerated.)
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the lobster mixture. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbly and the crumbs are deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes for ramekins, 15 to 20 minutes for a large baking dish.

LOBSTER AND CRAB POT PIE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1 cup diced white onion
1 pound lobster meat, diced
1 cup small diced carrots
1 cup small diced celery
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups milk
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, cleaned, cartilage removed
1/2 cup frozen English peas, thawed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface, to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a round pastry cutter or cookie cutter, about 3 inches in diameter, cut out 6 round disks.
  • Brush each disk with the beaten egg, coating the pastry well. Arrange on a greased baking sheet and bake until the pastry rises and is golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. When baked, remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • Add the grapeseed oil to a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until soft and translucent (not caramelized), then add the lobster. Saute until the lobster is cooked, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • At this point, add the carrots and celery and saute a few more minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for about 5 minutes; this is the beginning of the roux. Slowly begin adding the chicken stock, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens. *Add the milk, slowly and stir until incorporated to the desired thickness.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for a further 10 to 12 minutes. Just before serving add the crabmeat and the peas and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. To serve, spoon into small bowls, sprinkle with chopped chives and top with a puff pastry disk.
  • *Cook's Note: By adding the liquid slowly it will help you see the desired thickness of the sauce. You may not need all of the milk, as some flours absorb different amounts of liquid. Just be careful.

Time 2h27m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 23

½ cup clarified butter, divided
1 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon thinly sliced shallots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon thinly sliced leeks
1 cup diced acorn squash
1 cup minced parsnips
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup minced celery
½ cup diced celery root (celeriac)
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups lobster stock
1 cup minced crimini mushrooms
6 tablespoons sherry wine
½ cup chopped fresh tarragon
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 cup cooked and coarsely chopped lobster meat
1 cup sweet baby peas
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in shallots, garlic, and leeks; cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add acorn squash, parsnips, carrots, celery, and celery root. Reduce heat to low and cook vegetables until softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
  • Heat remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil will just begin to bubble. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Continue cooking the roux, whisking constantly, until flour has turned golden and begins to smell like toast, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir vegetable mixture, lobster stock, mushrooms, sherry wine, tarragon, parsley, pepper sauce, salt, and pepper into the roux. Cook and stir gently until thick, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in sherry vinegar. Add lobster meat and peas. Spoon roux mixture into a casserole dish or ramekins. Cover and place near or above the hot oven until ready to use.
  • Unroll puff pastry. Cut sheets into crusts slightly larger than the pie plate. Press 1 layer onto the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Bake bottom crust in the preheated oven until light brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and fill with roux mixture. Place top crust over filling; press its edges onto the bottom crust to seal.
  • Continue baking until top crust is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

LOBSTER POT PIE



LOBSTER POT PIE image

Categories     Shellfish

Yield 4-5 People

Number Of Ingredients 19

Pot pie:
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion)
3/4 cup chopped fennel (1 fennel bulb)
3 ribs celery finely chopped
12 criminal mushrooms chopped
1/4 pound unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups fish stock
1 tablespoon Dry Sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 lb (min) cooked fresh lobster meat
0.5 lb Bay scallops or small shrimp
1 1/2 cups frozen peas (not "baby" peas)
1/2 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
Pastry:
Use frozen puff pastry (4 discs)
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water or heavy cream, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Directions Saute the onions,celery, mushrooms and fennel with the butter in a large saute pan on medium heat until the onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the flour and cook on low heat for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Slowly add the stock, Sherry, salt, and pepper and simmer for 5 more minutes. Add the heavy cream. Cut the lobster meat into medium-sized cubes. Place the lobster (and other seafood if using), frozen peas and parsley in a bowl (there is no need to defrost the vegetables). Pour the sauce over the mixture and check the seasonings. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut out dough circles at least 2" wider than ramekins. Avoid rolling out too thin, which will cause dough to droop into the ramekin. Fill ramekin with the lobster mixture, and top with the crust, allowing 1" overlap on all sides. Brush with the egg wash. Make 4 or 5 slashes in the top crust and bake for 30 min, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/lobster-pot-pie-recipe.html#sni-reviews

1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Cook until you get a creamy sauce that will be about 10 minutes.
  • Let it cool down and then put the filling over the crust already on the baking pan.

Tips for Making the Best Lobster Pot Pie:

  • Use fresh lobster meat. Fresh lobster meat has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than frozen lobster meat. If you can't find fresh lobster meat, you can use frozen lobster meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Don't overcook the lobster. Lobster meat is very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook the lobster just until it is opaque and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is an important part of the pot pie, so be sure to use a flavorful broth. You can use chicken broth, seafood broth, or a combination of both.
  • Add plenty of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the pot pie. Add your favorite vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and peas.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. The pie crust is the foundation of the pot pie, so be sure to use a good quality pie crust. You can use a homemade pie crust or a store-bought pie crust.
  • Bake the pot pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This will take about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

Lobster pot pie is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is a delicious and elegant dish that is sure to impress your guests.
