CRAB AND PRAWN RAVIOLI IN SEAFOOD BISQUE



Crab and Prawn Ravioli in Seafood Bisque image

This is a dish I learned to make at Leith's cooking school in London. It takes a little work, but is divine. You could make the pasta dough, filling and sauce ahead of time, but I recommend cooking the pasta as soon as possible after you've made it. If you must store it for a few hours, then separate the ravioli with plastic wrap or parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.

Provided by Sackville

Categories     Crab

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

450 g strong 00 flour
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon oil
110 g cooked crabmeat
110 g cooked prawns, still in their shells
1 egg white
2 teaspoons finely chopped chives
2 teaspoons lemon juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper
55 g prawn shells
1 small onion, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 tablespoons brandy
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 star anise (optional)
1 liter fish stock
150 ml double cream
chives (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Make the pasta by mixing all the ingredients together in a food processor with the normal blade.
  • You can also do this by mixing the flour and eggs together by hand on a wooden board, but it just takes longer and the end result is the same.
  • Turn the dough out onto the counter.
  • Use your hands to shape it into a ball and draw together any crumbs.
  • Wrap in clingfilm and leave to relax in a cool place for an hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling.
  • Remove the prawns from their shells.
  • Put the crabmeat and prawns in the food processor and whiz until smooth.
  • Add the egg white, lemon juice salt and pepper and whiz again until just mixed.
  • Stir in the chives, cover and set aside.
  • Make the sauce.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan and fry all the shells and onion until they start to brown.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the brandy, tomatoes, bay leaf, tomato puree and star anise.
  • Add the stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Strain the sauce and reduce to 150 ml by boiling rapidly.
  • Add the cream, reduce to the consistency of single cream and season to taste.
  • Set the sauce aside and roll out your pasta dough as thinly as possible using a pasta maker.
  • You want a strip about 6 inches wide.
  • Place teaspoonfuls of the filling in even rows at intervals of 1 1/2 inches over half of the pasta.
  • Fold the other half over the mounds of filling.
  • Press together, firmed around each mound to make sure you have squeezed out all the air.
  • Cut between the rows, making sure the edges are sealed.
  • You can use a fork to decorate the edges.
  • Cook the ravioli in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until al dente.
  • Place on the serving dish, drizzle over the sauce and decorate with the chives.

SEAFOOD BISQUE WITH CREAM SHERRY



Seafood Bisque with Cream Sherry image

The easiest, laziest meal, prepares in minutes, cooks in minutes and fills the gullet of two!

Provided by Margaret Frye

Categories     Chowders

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pkg bertollli meal soup for 2: ricotta & lobster ravioli in seafood bisque
1 c milk
1/2 c cream sherry

Steps:

  • 1. You're going to love this if you're hungry and are too tired to cook - it could happen. Follow the directions on the back of the package - open it, pour into a 2-quart saucepan, add 1 cup milk, bring to boil stirring frequently, add sherry, lower heat, simmer until ravioli and veggies are done.
  • 2. Bertolli as a rule is a good product and I've always been curious about their prepared, frozen meals. This shopping day I decided to walk on the wild side and check them out. I bought this bisque, Meal soup for 2, and a pasta dish with shrimp and asparagus. I'm not ashamed it was so easy to throw together and am looking forward to the pasta.
  • 3. Kick back, sip a martini as you cook, enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the bisque will taste. If possible, buy seafood that was caught or harvested within the last 24 hours.
  • Choose a variety of seafood: Don't just use one type of seafood in your bisque. A combination of different types of seafood, such as shrimp, crab, and lobster, will give the bisque a more complex flavor.
  • Sauté the seafood before adding it to the bisque: Sautéing the seafood in a little bit of butter or oil will help to brown it and bring out its flavor.
  • Use a good quality fish stock: The fish stock is the base of the bisque, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can make your own fish stock or use a store-bought stock.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will become tough and chewy.
  • Season the bisque to taste: Once the bisque is finished, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.

Conclusion:

Seafood bisque is a delicious and elegant soup that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, so it is a good choice for beginner cooks. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a seafood bisque that will impress your family and friends.
