Cookbook 7 Recipe 2 (Total 15)
Happy Birthday to Stephen Part 2 Stephen selected about 20 recipes from this book that he was interested in trying. Unfortunately for me ALL of them were seafood based. Oh Well. If I had to assign a smell to an old fisherman's boat docked in the harbor - it would be this filling. The mixture of clam juice, brandy and white wine seems to require a ship and a pipe.
For Dyanna & Jason's benefit this recipe can be found on page 123.
Did I like it? Loved the smell, the taste was OK for seafood.
Recipe:
Heat 1 T olive oil in a pan. Add 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped leeks, 1 clove garlic minced - cook until softened. Add 1/4 cup chopped canned tomatoes from your summer canning adventure, 1 T minced heart of celery leaves (I forgot to purchase parsley), pinch of salt, pinch of pepper, 2 T clam juice, 2 T brandy, 2 T dry white wine -simmer until most liquid has evaporated. Add 1/4 lb chopped up crab meat and simmer 1 more minute.
Stack up three sheets of phyllo dough and cut the stack in to triangles. Fry them in 365 degree peanut oil for 1 minute.
Place phyllo triangle on a plate and top with warm crab mixture.
The recipe's Alioli was a complete bomb - it was too liquidy in the first place and then separated on me. After three hours of cooking I didn't really care.
